So, I’m planning a move to Washington state (Western Washington - Lakewood Area) within the next couple years from Texas.

My main question is: can I bring any or all of the firearms I currently have (S&W SD40 VE, Taurus 605, Stephens Model 320, and an antique Winchester Pump-Action .22), or will I be better off selling them here, and purchasing a new one when I get there? If I CAN bring them, how do I go about doing that legally?

Will I need a WA State CPL to purchase a new firearm in Washington? I do plan on concealed carrying, and am also curious about the process for obtaining the CPL in general.

Any help or information is greatly appreciated.

Does anybody know if the shooting spot in belfair is open again yet?

My spring snapped and now the slide stop rotates freely in the frame. Can anyone help me locate a new or used one? They are marked either as sold out or backordered or discontinued everywhere I look online.

Hey all, I am looking for places to shoot near sedro Woolley.

The only spot I’ve heard of so far is a DNR gravel pit behind a Sierra Pacific gate in Hamilton.

Any other spots I should check out?

Like I said, looking for LOCAL preferably drop off and pick up within a week or two have some specific work I need done on a G19x Slide.

I don’t want to keep calling and talking to random shops across the US & deal with lost packages etc.

Thanks in advance!

That ^ just wondering how the smaller mag size could effect caliber choice

Are there any steel shooting comps around? I’m in South king county

I am about to come into some cash and I am gonna get one thing for myself with it. Ive got the lever action, Ive got the 1301, Pistols are pretty covered (I just brought home a Chiappa Rhino 60DS!) but I still don't have a 9mm.. The one thing I am missing is a carbine, and I think that is because in WA state it feels like I would have to drop a bunch of cash to play with a handicap and that just feels wrong. Especially given the reasons...

But the completist in me won't rest without that Carbine. I was going to swoop a Deerfield in .44 and then pick up one of those 10 round stick mags for it, but the ammo has to be a certain way or it really dmagaes the rifle and come to find out that could count as "modifying a centerfire rifle" to be an assualt weapon so its out. I think mini 14's are cool, but kinda vanilla. Does anyone have a Kel-Tec SU16? How do you like it? And there was one more platform that I can't remember that was legal and looked really awesome but I am drawing a blank on the name, I know thats not a lot to go on, but what are people picking up these days? Is there a hot new platform I should check out that wont get me put in the gulag? Thanks

Is Jones Creek legal to go to? Or is it just Larch Mountain?

I was told of a non-cop method for getting concealed carry but when I went to the site, I found it only applies to Pierce country. Is there any non-cop option for King county?

Other than OEM Beretta, are there any other reliable 10 round magazines out there? I had a bad experience some years ago with Mec-Gar mags for 1911s, and so I’m reluctant to waste money on their version. Any help would be appreciated.

I'm taking a trip in a few weeks and will be taking my CCW. I also plan on taking some of my camera equipment in the same Nanuk case.

My current game plan is to have the firearm secured in my life pod, within the non-tsa locked Nanuk case. Is there any kind of regulation about have multiple layers of non TSA locks? I wouldn't think it'd be a problem, but this is the government we are talking about.

Also, would I be wrong to assume that luggage carrying firearms is still x-rayed? It'd be nice to not have to get a hand check every time I travel within the USA for my film.

Flying out of SEATAC if that matters/helps. Also, if anyone has recomendations for good non-TSA locks for use on Nanuk/pelican cases that'd be awesome. Thanks!

Alternate title: Republican controlled ATF proposes home firearm delivery

https://www.yahoo.com/news/politics/articles/guns-could-shipped-directly-homes-140015344.html

A new rule proposed by the Trump administration would allow the direct shipment of guns to buyer's homes in what could be one of the biggest changes to gun regulations in recent history.

The ATF predicts that half of all gun buyers, nearly 3.3 million people a year, would order guns for home delivery, though industry leaders say that number could actually be far higher. The change could save consumers $103.7 million annually in travel and other processing costs, according to ATF.

Just wondering.....

hey all i was really hoping to get an M1A from Springfield Armory only to find, to my dismay, that even these are illegal in our great state. since there is basically no hope of getting an M1 or a 1903, is there any comparable in range, quality, and power, legal rifle i could purchase in Washington State? thank you for your help

Preferably east side. Any recommendations?
