Can WDFW really click their boot heels and take away my gun rights?

What I don’t understand though, is how they can just blatantly state “NO GUNS” on public DFW land, whether it’s off-limits to hunting or not?

As you can see the "NO GUNS" statement, is nothing new on their Signs.....I do wonder how much of our Taxes they spent redesigning the New Sign with a Crab on it instead of a Pheasant?)

Those signs have been around for decades, some say no traps as well. As far as your question goes I’d imagine it would be hard for them to enforce you carrying for personal protection but 

Basically they are old signs from a time when people would simply follow the orders of the sign and wouldn't think anything of it (sorry but it's true.)

It would be enforced under WAC 220-500-030(3) which states: "Pursuant to RCW 77.15.230, it is unlawful to use department lands in a manner or for a purpose contrary to signs or notices posted on those lands, waters, or access areas. Violating this subsection is a misdemeanor, pursuant to RCW 77.15.230"

That being said, as long as it looks like you are just carrying for personal protection and not actively hunting you'd be hardpressed to have an LEO hassle you about it.

Is the same for the Arthur Coffin Game Reserve up in the Colockum? It's the same sign

So, still no open carry.

[TriggerMike]

Wow, that's really good to know. Thanks

"use of other hunting weapons"


open carry is not a hunting weapon,  I think you're good to go open carry in a game reserve as its not a "hunting weapon"


Still, a badge heavy zealot could cause you grief perhaps.

I'm going by the regulation as stated above that says concealed permit is required.

[KFhunter]

It say's clearly open carry is lawful.

IF

"if the person uses"   Ok, can't shoot nothing

I agree.  "using" a gun and possessing a gun are two entirely different things.  as long as you don't shoot it, youre not "using" it.  so if its just for self defense, well, when you have to use it because you feel your safety is in danger, at that point that's more important than the possibility of getting a ticket.
