Maybe this topic has already been discussed here before. Maybe not.
I just want to make sure I understand the Washington laws perfectly.
The way I read RCW 9.41.050 and its ever-important exceptions in RCW 9.41.060 it is perfectly legal to carry a concealed pistol as long as it is unloaded (correct?) In fact RCW 9.41.060 (9) specifically requires that an UNloaded pistol must be carried concealed. It is against the law to carry an UNloaded pistol openly (correct?)
Based on these facts...
I should be perfectly within my rights to carry an UNloaded semiautomatic pistol in one pocket of my overcoat and carry the loaded magazine for it in a different pocket (or in my hand for that matter...correct?) If this is true, then it is possible to stay 100% legal and yet be able to produce a loaded pistol in about two seconds time if it's needed (right?)
Please correct me if I have read the Washington laws incorrectly.
In my opinion the whole concealed carry permit conecpt is nothing more than a scam to con legal gun owners into registering their pistols (for collection at a later date.)
