I live in Oregon, visit my girlfriend in Washington

[mac9990]

I understand I may use my existing high capacity magazines while I'm in Washington? Does that include AR-15s?

Incorrect and no.

WA residents can use their existing regular capacity pre law magazines.

Any new ones or ones brought into the state have to be nurtured 10 rounders.

Their bs law says you cannot bring "assault rifles" nor >10 round mags from out of state into WA.

If the items were already in WA prior to the law then they can be kept and used there. If they were in WA prior to the law a wa resident can leave wa state and return to wa state with them. Someone correct me if I'm wrong plz.

No, that sounds right. Until Sideshow Bob declares that that's not what it really means even though that's what it says. But that could be months from now.

Good thing that OP had most of his guns stored at girlfriend's place prior to the law. Actually I don't know if that woudl be legal but seems to me it would be. No new "assault weapons" can enter the state. They can leave but not enter (unless it's a wa resident leaving and then returning with a pre ban "assault weapon"). I'm no expert on it though. That's just how I understand it.

Unless it says "resident". I don't recall.

Me either. A trust woudl get around that though. But trust woudl have to exist prior to the law for that to work (trust may not be needed if guns simply have to be present in WA prior to the law).

Sounds like a good question for a lawyer. Which I am most assuredly not.

The law does not specify that the owner must be a resident for the magazines to reenter the state.

11+ rounds can kill multiple people, 10 rounds.... not so much.
Welcome to Washington.

10rnds or less, you might as well have a rubber band gun.

 

[Dirtmaster]

Hopefully your girlfriend is the prepared type and has some mags stored in Washington before the ban was law.

I would think having guns at a residence that were not registered to yourself and considering that you are legally able to own firearms. If it was the sheriff I don't think he'd have a problem but he would probably ask for the guns to be taking back to the original owner's premises to avoid any conflict. If the men in black show up I think she would be screwed either way.
