PC § 12031(e) – Peace Officer Authority to Examine Firearm
In order to determine whether or not a firearm is loaded for the purpose of enforcing PC § 12031,
peace officers are authorized to examine any firearm carried by anyone on his or her person or in
a vehicle while in any public place, or on any public street, or in any prohibited area of an
unincorporated territory. Refusal to allow a peace officer to inspect a firearm pursuant to this
section is, in itself, probable cause for arrest for violation of this section.
Respectfully, amzbrady, you need a little refreshing as to what info you are required to give and what you aren't. Hint: RCW 7.80.060. It might be a refreshing read for you! :lol:
I was referring to the slight mistake that amzbrady made:
I don't believe you will find a requirement in the statute to provide a social security #.
You see a guy walking his dog, obviously no magazine in his HG and you stop your patrol car and do an echeck

The Privacy Act regulates the use of SSNs by government agencies. When a federal, state, or local government agency asks an individual to disclose his or her SSN, the Privacy Act requires the agency to inform the person of the following: the statutory or other authority for requesting the information; whether disclosure is mandatory or voluntary; what uses will be made of the information; and the consequences, if any, of failure to provide the information.
Oops, my apologies. I accidentally read that statement from amzbrady as a question. It's a little ambiguous.
You're absolutely correct about not requiring a ss# though. You're ss# may only be used to track you're contributions to the social security fund. Any other use is illegal.
Specific laws require a person to provide his or her SSN for certain purposes. While we cannot give you a comprehensive list of all situations where an SSN might be required or requested, an SSN is required or requested by the following organizations:
Internal Revenue Service for tax returns and federal loans;
Employers for wage and tax reporting purposes;
Employers enrolled in E-Verify;
States for the school lunch program;
Banks for monetary transactions;
Veterans Administration as a hospital admission number;
Department of Labor for workers’ compensation;
Department of Education for Student Loans;
States to administer any tax, general public assistance, motor vehicle or drivers license law within its jurisdiction;
States for child support enforcement;
States for commercial drivers’ licenses;
States for Food Stamps;
States for Medicaid;
States for Unemployment Compensation;
States for Temporary Assistance to Needy Families; or
U.S. Treasury for U.S. Savings Bonds
