Only days after Washington Lt. Gov. Cyrus Habib unilaterally declared the state Senate viewer gallery to be a gun free zone, the states largest newspaper reinforced its anti-gun editorial policy by calling for a ban on firearms throughout the state capitol in a Friday editorial.

In a bizarre coincidence, the state Department of Licensing released updated data Friday showing that there are now 591,366 active concealed pistol licenses in the state. This figure keeps the Evergreen State in the Top Ten per capita states where licensed concealed carry is the law, and it represents an increase of nearly 20,000 new CPLs since January.

The first couple of weeks after the opening of deer season, I spend most of my available time sitting in a tree with my bow waiting on a mature buck. I really enjoy the peace and solitude of being in nature. It is a great way to relieve work stress and all the pressure that builds from a busy work schedule. If a shooter walks by and I get lucky to make a kill shot I will take it. However, understand that if nothing shows up, it is still a blessing to be able to enjoy the great outdoors.
