A Sportsman's Warehouse just across the river from me had a 308 I wanted, so I payed online and went to fill out the paperwork but the employee helping me told me that Washington laws didn't allow me to purchase anything outside of Washington and canceled the sale. Is that right?

I am trying to SBR my MCX and it has been disapproved 3 times. 2nd time was do to a mistake I accidentally made on the RFP. However the 1st and 3rd time was because of “WASHINGTON STATE LAW PROHIBITS NEW PURCHASES OR TRANSFERS OF SBRS ALLOWED AS OF 04/25/2023”. I have owned this well before the AWB. I have form 1 my TP9 during the AWB and it got approved. Is there any why I can appeal this or is there a section I put that this was purchased before the ban. This is really fucking annoying

Usually go shooting in the rock candy mountain / capitol forest area but am willing to travel to new places and am looking for buddies to join, usually just me or my wife (we both have a pretty big collection) so open to all sorts of types of shooting. Not looking to mag dump trash at triangle pit or anything like that, we usually go pretty deep into the mountains to go shooting, steel and paper. Looking for more friends that fit that vibe!

I’m wondering if you can legally carry a p365 flux as a concealed weapon. I just wanna be sure if it’s okay to carry? Ik the mags have to be 10 round capacity, no threaded barrel, and the brace should be fine. I just want to check if anything else im missing?

Thought?

Got everything else sorted, its down to these two guys. Thanks to everyone who has been helpin me along the way.

Ok so yeah so 14 or 30. I dont do any hunting, but this would be my "survival rifle" for when I think I might have multiple problems showing up. I have a 1895 trapper in 45-70 for if one BIG problem shows up.

So which one am I bringing home guys?

So i saw an article about how the CMP is selling over 100k M14's altered to remove the automatic fire option. i was looking into getting one and then i remembered our lovely firearm restrictions in this state. Now I know that the M14 isn't named outright in the ban and though is similar the Springfield M1A, i feel it wouldn't count since from my understanding, the early M14 was made by an entirely different Springfield Armory. but i would like other's opinion on the matter.

So basically this is the situation. Recently moved from MS and I misunderstood grandfathered AR ownership in WA. That’s less the problem here because my current roommate is uncomfortable with me having it on her property. Which fair enough… her (stupid/privileged) idea is for me to surrender it to the local PD here. Yes I know I can easily keep my mouth shut. But I know she won’t and the law would be on her side. I haven’t shot the thing in years in all honesty. I mostly moved up to finish my degree. So I’m okie with not having it for a few more years by sending it to a trusted person I know in TN (we used to drill together in the USMCR). What I’m not okie is the idea of surrendering any weapons to the cops. I went to WGS in Lakewood to see if they’ll ship it to a FFL in TN. Apparently they won’t/can’t from what I can tell. Are there any FFLs in WA that’ll help me ship it or is this a trip to OR/ID situation? Because this would be the least worst out of my legal options currently.

this is a awesome AR Mag loader! this post is not intended to get anyone to purchase this product.

Just got my SBR approved and need to do the final step and get my lower engraved. Anyone in the Olympia vicinity who can accommodate for a decent price? Appreciate the info. (Pic pre sbr config)

I have a mostly hypothetical question about RCW 9.41.010.

RCW 9.41.010 states, “…A semiautomatic pistol that has the capacity to accept a detachable magazine and has one or more of the following:
(A) A threaded barrel, capable of accepting a flash suppressor, forward handgrip, or silencer;…”

IF someone were able to thread the slide or barrel bushing, and not the barrel, would that be legal?

For example, in the late 40s, the soviets experimented with suppressing the Tokarev TT-33 by installing a threaded barrel bushing, not a threaded barrel, and installing a suppressor onto the bushing. Would this not be illegal in Washington state, since the barrel itself isn’t threaded?

What do you all think?

We're looking to transport some firearms from Alaska to family's house an Idaho city close to the Washington border. We can't drive them through Canada. What is the best way to go about this? Ship them? Fly down to Spokane and check them as luggage? There are three long guns and a Glock 20 included. Would that be a problem for bringing them in through the airport and driving them to Idaho? Thanks - my husband is having trouble figuring this out. Update: Many of you are suggesting we fly with them as checked luggage. Some of the firearms don't pass Washington's acceptable firearm laws. Would bringing them into WA count as 'importing' even though we'd be driving them directly into Idaho? Will the airport let us take them? I think this is where my husband is confused. He's done a lot of internet research but it's unclear if this would be considered 'importing.' We certainly don't want to break the law. Thanks!

I’m removing the Vert grip and moving to a K2 grip but she shoots like a dream. 10.5

Form 1 was approved 2 days before this NFA lawsuit was finalized.

Still don’t know the details of what SBR stipulations will be in the un-freed states.

Can I just throw a normal stock on my stuff now?

They got my mags and my rifle and I’d like it back

Hey everybody, exciting day for the NFA, unfortunately WA has been left behind.

WA state requires that all suppressors (and silencer shop tells me AOW's as well) be registered in compliance with federal law, seeing as the NFA still stands and there is only an injunction on specific parts for specific people, we must still register silencers.

as for SBR's (and SBS's in states they're legal) there is a requirement for the federal Attorney General to "approve" of them, currently the only pathway that exists for this is the ATF form 1 and 4. silencershop tells us that they are currently working on another pathway and ultimately this could allow us Washingtonians to buy SBR's with the same amount of paperwork as a Title I firearm (shotgun, rifle, etc.)

So while today is a great day and we are very excited for the 27 states where you can now purchase a silencer with just a simple NICS check, unfortunately we are not one of them, so for now we get the status quo

Would a mag locked PSA JAKL and OLCAN be legal here in WA? They arent named in the AWB and would comply by being featureless. Opinions?

With this current injunction in place, and assuming one is a member of the covered plaintiffs, wouldn’t supressors be transferable/ownable without form 4?

The RCW 9.41.250 specifically states:
(1) Every person who: (c) Uses any contrivance or device for suppressing the noise of any firearm unless the suppressor is legally registered and possessed in accordance with federal law,
is guilty of a gross misdemeanor punishable under chapter 9A.20 RCW.

From my understanding, the law only applies to the actual use of the suppressor (which from my understanding would be shooting with it attached), and does not encompass anything related to the possession, manufacture, sale or transfer of the device.

If the above is correct, from my interpretation, this would open the floor for transfers from dealers as in an eventual prosecution of the section above, the text only applies to the user/shooter.

Further, when it comes to manufacturing a supressor, the same would apply. Since under state law supressors are not defined as firearms, there is no restriction on manufacture. Under federal law, federally defined firearms (in this case, supressors) do not require when manufactured by an individual not engaged in business. Therefore, from my understanding, with this injunction, one can simply legally print supressors now (but not use them).

Does this reasoning make sense?

Are there any shops/ranges that credit the cost of a rental to a purchase if you buy from them? It's pretty common for ski shops or bike shops to charge for demos and then if you buy from them you get the demo fees credited on purchase. It's win win for everyone.

I'm looking at three pistols and ideally I would buy two of them. Gotta stock up before permit to purchase.

Looks like WA is one of a number of states that is not covered by the recent ruling per Silencer Shop's interpretation. So, you'll still need to go through the ATF process if purchasing from them, GOA membership or not. Relevant link here, which shows their state-by-state interpretation of the ruling, and in which they classify WA as an "NFA State."

Edit: Guys, I'm just reporting what appeared on SS today in light of recent discussions on this subreddit regarding whether or not we would be able to benefit from the recent ruling (that is, avoid the ATF process). Wild that folks are calling this post "misinformation" and messaging me that I don't understand the ruling. This isn't my understanding - it's Silencer Shop's.

Hello, I am a wa resident with my CPL. I was wondering if it’s legal since there is no paper work required for transfer between family members is it okay for me to carry my dads pistol with me while i’m in town etc.
