There doesn't seem to be any special storage or transporting requirements for semi auto rifles at this time. There were a number of gun control laws proposed in the legislature this year that did not pass and people read the headlines and assume they became law. All laws in WA are listed as an RCW and are pretty easy to search and are updated to conform with I1639, make sure you are reading the update dated July 1 2019. I1639 is easy to search for and shows the updated RCW if you want the correct information.
Unfortunately, when firearms related business suffer, we all loose.
Nicely worded. That agrees with my experience as well.
+1 for law abiding citizen loop holes.
I find it amazing that I have been operating guns, mostly bolt actions and handguns, since the age of 8 and currently 36 and a law like this would be implemented. I don't necessarily disagree with safety classes but in my situation a safety class would be a tactical class. Granted, new weapon owners, and I mean "new," the majority of it is obvious safety: 1: never put your finger on the trigger till your target is acquired or point the weapon at anyone unless it is a life threatening or potential harm situation. 2: treat every weapon as if it were loaded in reference to rule 1. 3: Respect the weapon, do not fear it; it can end your life as fast it can end a life (which I have also transferred to my electrical knowledge). Learned all this from my dad, a Marine, who kept them in the house for the same reasons I will which, short and simple, better to have one and not need it than need one and not have it.
Agreed, that was the irony and point of that comment .
Which still requires a form and background check I should add.
