So, I was speaking with a friend today and we talked about open carry briefly. He asked if I had ever been stopped (by PD) and "Chamber Checked".
He was under the impression that open carry was legal here in Washington, but that the firearm could not be carried with a round in the chamber.
I respect him and have no reason not to believe him, however, I'm nearly 100% certain that this is incorrect.
He mentioned that his source was the RCW's, but honestly couldn't remember.
So I thought I'd ask the experts here to confirm my suspicions...lol.
Again, I'm almost positive that the law says nothing about the gun needing to be unloaded. Nor have I ever heard of someone being "Chamber Checked" here in Washington.
