Can you leave with and bring high capacity magazines back into Washington?

[Bushman]

Like if traveling out of state with gear in your checked bag, then returning with it.

According to this article you can. https://www.theolympian.com/news/state/washington/article262348557.html



But actual state law doesn't mention this as an exception.

Some things are just better not asked….

 

[Jay Walk]

It's legal in America and part of our constitution

 

[Stomper]

The short answer is, yes.

It's not considered an "exception" per se. It's simply not a violation of the law since you are not procuring and "importing" a prohibited mag from outside of the state. You are simply leaving with legally existant property and then returning with it.


**When in doubt of an unconstitutional law see post #3.

One can also argue a non-resident bringing in and then leaving with said magazine(s) is also not in violation as it pertains to IMPORTATION which pertains to selling/trading said articles.

Unless there's a border stop-checkpoint searching every car coming into WA, intelligently go about your business in peace as a free citizen.

Thank you! I wonder if they'll ask for my date stamped picture proof of ownership before the law went into effect or is that still a requirement

Not me. I serialized both of my magazines, coated them with holy water and took photos of them in front of the county bank's date and temperature sign. I did however stop before leaving the zone of prudence and recording the database with the county recorder.
