Drive to the camp with the arm unloaded, ammunition in separate container, and when you're there, camp set up, and vehicle turned into "dwelling", go ahead and load it, but keep it out of sight so no one looking in can see it. Lock the vehicle whenever you are not right there.

Good move, getting the Mother May I card..... that puts an end to a whole lot of potential "crimes" one would never even think of being crimes. You can ONLY use that thing if someone is actively breaking in to the occupied van, or has already done so.

Yeah, I hear you.

When your born into this world in diapers and a six shooter all this none sense is ridiculous. It's just job security for some freaken lawyer in some dank dark closet type of office.

Ha.................. I think we are really discusing FREEDOM. When did we lose it?

So, in summary:

You have the right to a firearm in your vehicle while camping. (per US Constitution)

Your state (WA) tries to limit that right with a law preventing loaded guns in a car.

Your state (WA) exempts you from that law if you have the proper concealed permit OR you can show that you are engaging (or travelling) to an "outdoor activity" such as "camping".

So, depending on your own interpretation, you either:
A) Carry -- because the US Constitution allows it.
B) Carry -- because you are exempt from the law because you are "camping"
C) Carry -- because you went through the concealed permit hassle
D) Don't carry because you don't think it is legal

So, depending on your own interpretation, you either:
A) Carry -- because the US Constitution allows it and you have a big pair
B) Carry -- because you are exempt from the law because you are "camping" ,you have a pair and some reading comprehension
C) Carry -- because you went through the concealed permit hassle you may or may not have a pair
D) Don't carry because you don't think it is legal and you've had them cut off (or they never grew)

for clarity
