I would just use theirs and bring your own factory ammo. If it's a question of magazine capacity or "assault" style firearms.Thread title pretty much nails my question. I have friends up north that I'd like to go shooting with. In simple terms, what guns can I bring?
Well for one if you are here shooting and are not shooting in some spot that is going to attract law enforcement none will care.Thread title pretty much nails my question. I have friends up north that I'd like to go shooting with. In simple terms, what guns can I bring?
"Your honor, the Internet people told me I could."Well for one if you are here shooting and are not shooting in some spot that is going to attract law enforcement none will care.
If you really are "worried" about getting "caught" are you really going to take the word of people on the net? This is how you seek legal advice? Not a good way to do so.
No "assault" rifles, no semi auto pistols with threaded barrels, no magazines that hold over 10rds.Thread title pretty much nails my question. I have friends up north that I'd like to go shooting with. In simple terms, what guns can I bring?
Gun yes, magazine no.Can a used pistol with a high capacity magazine be sold in Washington, between Washington residents?
*laughs in FBIJust take your guns and shoot. No one is watching.
Not legally. ALL sales are "supposed" to be done at an FFL. The FFL will not be able to transfer the mag to the new owner.Can a used pistol with a high capacity magazine be sold in Washington, between Washington residents?
Just don't paint it black!
If you are referring to bringing things in from out of state (not firearms or magazines that were within the state prior to the newer laws),Just to clarify here, the laws in WA pertain to sales and transfers correct? NOT the possession of such items.

The Washington Attorney General’s Office has a limited role with regard to Washington’s firearms laws. While we cannot interpret the firearms laws for you or give you legal advice, there are a few ways in which the Washington Attorney General’s Office is involved in this area of the law.www.atg.wa.gov
Yes but I think only for WA residents. The law is vague and terrible. I am not sure there is clariity around bringing a weapon from OR or anywhere else to WA and then leaving with it. The law only says WA residents can leave the state and bring back what they left with.Just to clarify here, the laws in WA pertain to sales and transfers correct? NOT the possession of such items.

"(23) "Import" means to move, transport, or receive an item from a place outside the territorial limits of the state of Washington to a place inside the territorial limits of the state of Washington. "Import" does not mean situations where an individual possesses a large capacity magazine or assault weapon when departing from, and returning to, Washington state, so long as the individual is returning to Washington in possession of the same large capacity magazine or assault weapon the individual transported out of state."If you are referring to bringing things in from out of state (not firearms or magazines that were within the state prior to the newer laws),

Wa gun laws:
Agree about it being blurry. Especially cuz it conflicts directly with earlier laws on the same issue. However I don't see anywhere where it specifies a WA resident. But that's why I try to cite the laws for others and let them interpret them and only interpret them for myself. Probably a deal where more than one lawyer would give you more than one answer on the same thing possibly. It does seem to me to be legal if a magazine were in WA state prior to the ban it could leave the state and then return.(23) "Import" means to move, transport, or receive an item from a place outside the territorial limits of the state of Washington to a place inside the territorial limits of the state of Washington.

This is where the lines get a bit blurry. Importing would technically be to take in, as in, action by a WA resident of bringing a weapon or banned item to the state. For example buying a 30rd mag in Oregon and then bringing it inside of the state. As a non-resident, if I'm in possession of the item the entire time (not transferring) up until leaving, I can't be importing an item. The proviso of WA residents being able to leave the state and return with an item they owned previously delineates between importing and traveling with. But laws are tricky and I'd prefer to have a lawyer clarify these critical minutia.
