I've read the Washington law several time and find it very ambiguous
since I retired, some one is out here on the property at all times
our front and back door are locked until one of us is outside
if someone breaks into my home to steal a firearm while I'm here, ether they or I will be dead
and then there is this clause:
(4) If a death or serious injury occurs as a result of an alleged violation of subsection (1)(a) of this section, the prosecuting attorney may decline to prosecute, even though technically sufficient evidence to prosecute exists, in situations where prosecution would serve no public purpose or would defeat the purpose of the law in question.
what public purpose would prosecuting a disabled 72 year old man or 68 year old 100% disabled woman who live in rural Clark Co, Wa., if someone manages to steal one of our firearms
