Blue state. Progressive state. Left Coast liberal state. (aka Washington)
From the Bearing Arms blog; "This past year [2022], the number of concealed gun licenses awarded in Washington state soared by more than 57,000, to about 700,000, according to data from the state Department of Licensing....It means that just shy of 12% of all the adults in Washington state are packing (or at least are licensed to do so). This rate is 11th highest in the nation, according to a national roundup of gun data, behind mostly red states."
Interesting numbers considering that very bad new law (Measure 114) that passed in Nov 2022 which is discussed elsewhere on this forum.
