Ok, so I just read the FAQ (for the most part), and I have a few questions as I live in Colorado but do travel to Seattle about twice a year.
When I'm transporting a firearm it is unlawful for me to carry it while any ammunition is in it at all, including, but not limited to; loaded cylinders, magazines, chambered or any other way in which ammunition is in the gun at any point in any way (i.e. loose rounds sliding into the gun could be misconstrued). However, I can keep it in plain view on the seat with the slide open and have a fully loaded mag next to it for quick loading?
Next, I can obtain a non-resident CCW/CPL by applying at any agency. I'm assuming though, that I'm going to have to do so when I am up there and then wait for the CPL to be denied or mailed to me once I'm back home, correct?
And finally, although there isn't a "ban" on firearms in Seattle, I have been wondering recently what the attitude towards them really is up there. Are there any places in Seattle/Ballard/near UW or Seattle University that I might run into serious issues with someone because of my choice of carry? I ask because my friend that lives up there attends UW and lives in Ballard/Fremont area and my cousin lives very nearly on campus at Seattle University and those are really the only two reasons I go up.
Any advice and/or clarification would be greatly appreciated and I thank you guys for the already information packed posts that I have read.
Zack.
P.S. I am doing all of this as research before I even buy a pistol, but I have been looking at a (dare I say it?) Hi-Point .40 as I've shot the C9 and actually kind of liked it, save for the mag capacity. And also, I've been searching for a good deal on a .40 or .45 Taurus, .40 XDM, or Glock (especially 22 or 23) but have pretty much turned up nothing as of yet. Anyway, more on to the point, if I'm missing a good gun at a good price that I haven't listed, please let me know and I'll look into them as I'm open to a lot of different firearms. Again, thank you all in advance.
