I'm headed out to Colville National Forest here in a couple hours to go camping for a couple days. The RCW clearly states I can carry while I'm there, but I'm not so sure what it is saying about "traveling to or from". It's really no big deal, but if I can legally carry to and from, I would want to. What do you guys think? Also, is there any difference in the law carrying a loaded gun vs an unloaded gun? For example, if I'm not legally able to carry a loaded gun to or from, can I still carry it unloaded on my hip or does it have to be in a duffel bag or backpack?
Just a little more info, I'll be on a motorcycle and I'm 19 years old.
