This year I was shown the section of the RCW below that allows for concealed carry or open carry (loaded)in your vehicle when traveling to and from a lawful recreational activity.
After my friend explained what this entailed I called the Fish & Wildlife Enforecment office and spoke to an officer regarding exactly what this law allows an individual to do.
The officer stated that when travelling to, from and during your recreational activity you could carry just as if you had a CPL. Same rules apply just the allowance for recreational activities.
Anyone else heard of this. Seems to me a real big loophole since I can define outdoor recreational activity as pretty much anything.
RCW 9.41.060
Exceptions to restrictions on carrying firearms.
The provisions of RCW 9.41.050 shall not apply to:
........
(8) Any person engaging in a lawful outdoor recreational activity such as hunting, fishing, camping, hiking, or horseback riding, only if, considering all of the attendant circumstances, including but not limited to whether the person has a valid hunting or fishing license, it is reasonable to conclude that the person is participating in lawful outdoor activities or is traveling to or from a legitimate outdoor recreation area;
