Washington Receiving mag ordered now but receive after 7/1.

SB 5078 does not allow "distribution" on or after July 1. A gun shop will not be allowed to give you the magazine on or after July 1

1. Who cares? They won't come looking for you.

2. Why would you put that on the internet?

Thanks for the articulate reply....it was very helpful. Let's hope you don't actually work with human beings.

If it is shipped by mail directly to your residence, and it arrives July 1 or after, I doubt WA state will go after USPS for importing into the state. WA state also will likely not become aware of it arrives to you July 1. Be advised even if found out and prosecuted it is an infraction (ticket).

The law is to prevent sales after 7/1. If you purchased before 7/1 you're in the clear.

For brick and mortar sales, that means you can't buy one or take delivery of one in-store after 7/1.

For online sales, that means you can't buy one or have one shipped out after 7/1. Once it's shipped, it's considered 'fulfilled', so if it was shipped prior to 7/1 it's fine.

I have to wonder how many millions of new magazines have been brought into WA leading up to this stupid ban.

 

[WheatNuts]

That is illegal, you need to turn those mags in, preferably to me. I'll turn them over to Police so you don't have to deal with them

I've no doubt it would boggle the mind. Over the past 4 months, half probably went in during the first 3.5months... and the other half in the last 2 weeks.

I know I'm personally responsible for about 200 of 'em...

I ordered a 12 rd mag today. Arrival time is between 6/9 and 7/1. IF it arrives on 7/1 will that be illegal? It's paid for already.

The way it reads if it shows up on the date they are illegal technically you are in violation of the law. Some places will not ship if the delivery date is not before the 7/1 deadline

I interpret the law to reflect that the purchase/sale was made prior to the date, and as long as it's in transit within the boundary of Washington state by 7/1, it is not considered importation.

FIFY
The law states that the mag(s) have to be within the territorial boundaries of WA State BEFORE July 1, which is the effective date.
That means within the state by 2359:59.99 hrs on June 30.
July 1 is too late.

If compliance with this BS law matters to anyone...

Here's my interpretation (F-you) unconstitutional law

Looks like Bob is looking do more because of the success of this mag ban. By this time next year we might have 5 million more Felons for just owning an "assault weapon."

That assclown needs to be recalled...

 

[titsonritz]

Pretty sure that would fall into the category of "It never arrived"

I'm pretty sure that fall into the category of "lick my bag".

Like any ban, they are not worried about sales prior to it taking effect. The ban effectively freezes the magazine count in place on July 1st. If there were 1 million magazines in Washington on July 1st, 2022, there will be <1 million magazines in Washington on July 1st, 2023.

It is astounding how stupid the idiot Inslee and the turd are. All their petty stunt has done is bring in thousands if not millions of "hicap" magazines and built the foundation of a new black market.

And it won't stop a single loony from committing the next murder spree.

Bah!

Howdaya figger there will be less? Losses due to wear and tear? People leaving the state for freer pastures?
