It just "might" be possible to change a new CCW regulation for bowhunters, muzzleloaders so it complies with state statute. The Seattle Gun Rights Examiner talks about how, and looks back over a history of game management that has trimmed some 170,000 hunters from Washington's ranks since 1981.

I agree 100%, and would defend it that way.
WDFW has tried to prosecute for it tho, so it is subject to some interpretation.
