While out in Capitol Forest I was talking with a DNR guy, and he showed me a very recently published "Bail schedule". Which if I read it correctly states that any person (no ages given) that is not prohibited may not only OC, but CC also when going to/from, or taking part in outdoor activities with out a permit. I don't know how to post the actual PDF file on here, but here is the body of text from his e-mail:
"Hey Xxxxx,
Attached is a scanned electronic copy of pages 10-11 of the State of Washington Department of Natural Resources Law Enforcement Services 2013 Bail Schedule. It covers Exceptions to restrictions on carrying firearms under RCW 9.41.060, stating "Persons may carry concealed pistols, including within a motor vehicle, without a permit if they are engaged in, or going to or from lawful recreational activities". Any person engaging in a lawful outdoor recreational activity such as hunting, fishing, camping, hiking, or horseback riding, only if, considering all 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.
Hope all is well and be safe out there,
Brian, DNR"
My take on it, it says my 16 year old son can OC/CC. After all at 14 you can go hunting alone at 14.
