Hey all,
I am a CA resident, which sucks because we can currently only open carry while unloaded and they are trying to take that away from us too.
But I visit WA every now and thenbecause my family has property up there. I plan to bring my handgun with me next time I visit WA but I want to confirm a few things with you resident carriers.
From what I have read, I can legally open carry a loaded handgun without a concealed permit as long as Im not in a vehicle, on school property, or in a government building. Is this correct? And all local laws are preempted by WA state law so it shouldnt matter where in the state I am.
Do the officers in WA have a pretty decent knowledge of the open carry laws or should I expect a negative encounter andmake sure to havemy recorder running?
Any tips or advice would be great. I dont plan to enter any government buildings or schools and if I im inthe car, I will unload it and lock it in a container untilI reachmy destination. At which point,I will then load and holster it openly on my hip.
Thanks!
