I have a friend who has a question about 594 for my fellow Washington residents.
My friend is pretty knowledgeable about gun laws in Washington and references the RCW's to see what the law is with regularity to ensure he knows them up down and sideways, however my friend still has a question.
You see: the law says that all transfers must be done through an ffl unless hey are gifts or loans to family members (those specified by the law)
However, Washington has no storage law or requirement of how or where to store firearms a person owns.
So for example, my friend has a girlfriend and he spends a ton of time at her place, it appears he could store a firearm at her place and still be in accordance with the law, he isn't transferring her the firearm, he isn't giving her the firearms, he is simply storing it there because he is there very frequently and it is a convenient place to store it.
As long as she doesn't take possession of the firearm a transfer violating 594 never takes place.
That's what my friend thinks anyway,
What's the input from you guys?
( If you haven't read the RCW you might want to do that before commenting nonsense )
