Question for all you savvy people out there...
I've heard of a couple of incidents where a WA resident was open carrying while driving a vehicle in state. When pulled over for something like speeding, they apparently were cited for (not sure what technical section of the law was used) basically improper transportation or maybe exposure of the firearm.
Now my understanding from the laws is that if they had placed the firearm in the seat next to them or the center console, then maybe they could have gotten cited under the transportation law (mag should have been separated from the gun etc). But if the gun was physically on them in carrying form, I can't come up with a valid citation from what I read in the laws.
Anyone know of a piece of the law that might indicate otherwise?
Gracias in advance
