I was thinking about some ideas for using initiatives to loosen gun laws in Washington. these are some ideas here, although I'm not ready to take on some of these as a project, I was hoping maybe one of these could be used by an advocacy group with the resources to push them...
State Visitor Protection Act
Be it enacted by the people of the State of Washington
The State of Washington shall grant full faith and credit to persons of age 21 or older duly licensed to own, carry, or possess a pistol or revolver of any state or territory of the United States
"Duly licensed" is defined as
A license issued by a state, territory, county, county equivelant, or municipality in the United States to carry a concealed firearm in public
A Firearm Owners Identification or handgun registration receipt issued by the states of Illinois, New jersey, California, New York, Maryland, District of Columbia, and Hawaii.
Or I'd make it an affirmative defense if that will increase chances of passage. I'm not a lawyer so if these don't sound legalese then maybe a real lawyer could correct it
second idea
Be it enacted by the people of the state of Washington
No public college, university or trade school shall adopt any rule, contract, or regulation prohibiting enrolled students in possession of a concealed pistol license or recognized out of state license from lawfully carrying on campus.
Third idea
just some ideas to make the state of Washington a freer and a safer state then it already is

Third idea
The restrictions on possession of firearms by foreign nationals shall not apply to
A citizen of Canada who is in possession of police credentials or a license to own firearms defined as restricted or prohibited by the criminal code of canada. licenses to own prohibited or restricted firearms shall be given full faith and credit and recognized as the equievelant of a concealed pistol license.
