Some moron recently got disarmed and capped with his own gun recently. Dude died for no reason, the other guy didn't even have a weapon, but had slick hands and capped the dude when he tried to get his gun back.

Between that and people accidentally discharging their weapons into themselves/their homes/their workplaces, I'd be in favor for a ban on open/cc in general. Not that it really matters, but I'm also in a same-sex relationship and have never felt the need for CC/open carry anyways.

I hear ya. I do think there's a grain of truth to the deterrence of concealed carry, but open carry.. basically exactly your story is my concern.

Washington state is fairly progressive (thankfully), I think it'd be good for people who might be both conservative and emboldened by the incoming administration for the state to make it pretty public that approximately x number of people have concealed carry permits, and that open carry isn't legal.

Just leave it at that, keep those very fuckheads who want to come in and fuck around nervous.
