Carrying firearms.
(1)(a) Except in the person's place of abode or fixed place of business, .a person shall not carry a pistol concealed on his or her person without a license to carry a concealed pistol
--------------------------------
As I read this, one can not conceal "On their person" but what about carrying a pistol in an attache case? Are purses considered "on your person"? How about in a back or waist pack which some states view as "luggage"?
I understand the term "on person" to mean literally that, on your person. Is a bag, case, something similar, that you might be carrying considered the same as on your person?
RCW 9.41.010, which defines terms in this chapter does not seem to cover this.
