*eyeroll* :) Thanks.

Exit car, load, unload, enter car, wash, rinse, repeat. *sigh*

You're welcome. Yeah it is a pain. I suggest getting a WA CPL as soon as you can. It makes life so much easier.

Carry a semi-auto, condition 3. (Chamber empty, magazine full) Leave gun in holster and just remove/insert magazine.

Yea, that's kinda what I figured. No silly rules like the ammo has to be in a separate compartment or anything?

I don't go home enough to make it worth while, but I do plan on being back for a couple weeks this summer. I suppose if I get it started this trip it will make the next easier. How long's it good for? NM, 5 years, like CO.

Also, without a CPL you cannot conceal the handgun on your person, even if it is unloaded. The unloaded handgun can be anywhere in the vehicle, concealed or visible, so long as it is not concealed on your person. The ammo can be right next to the handgun, so long as no loaded magazine or ammo is in the gun.

UNLESS: you are particapating in, going to, or from, and outdoor recreational activity,,,camping and hiking are outdoor recreational activities, as well and hunting and fishing...RCW 9.41.060 (Exemptions)

Not often I can catch you Navy...:)

Ok, I knew it was going to get muddy. I generally carry right hip, where in a car it is 'obscured' by the seat belt, or depending how far back on my hip I could kinda be sitting on it. Sounds like I may have to adjust my usual carry preference?

Unfortunately my activities for this visit will be indoors and far more somber than to be considered 'recreational'. :(
