If you don't want to watch the video, "Import" is well defined as part of RCW revisions related to SB5078.

(38) "Import" means to move, transport, or receive an item from a 12 place outside the territorial limits of the state of Washington to a 13 place inside the territorial limits of the state of Washington. 14 "Import" does not mean situations where an individual possesses a 15 large capacity magazine when departing from, and returning to, 16 Washington state, so long as the individual is returning to 17 Washington in possession of the same large capacity magazine the 18 individual transported out of state.

Washington Gun Law President, William Kirk, discusses the not-so-uncommon instance in which an individual who resides out of state wishes to enter Washington possessing what we now refer to as "high capacity magazines." Or, what of the situation in which you live in Washington state, then depart out state possessing high capacity magazines, but then returns to Washington still possessing those magazines? Are they engaged in the act of unlawfully "importing" high capacity magazines as now prohibited by SB 5078. We examine the law and the actual definition of "import" to actually get you an answer to this question. Arm yourself with education today.
