Sb5708 and concealed carry

[85yota]

Move or remove if this is already covered.. how I understood it the law allows grandfathering in of "hi cap magz". Went to purchase a new g 19 and the lady explained that when the law takes effect i can no longer conceal carry with anything over 10 rounds and the mag has to completely and permanently pinned. She also said it can't be loaded in the house.. read the law and it says going to ranges or outdoor activities is OK but the the gun MUST not be loaded in a vehicle.. so everytime with my g20 I would have to pop in a pinned mag to drive down the road with the other mag buried or unloaded and than switch them at the new spot..the law seems vague and at work so can't really dive into it.. So is this law saying everyone in the state will now no longer people able to carry or protect there home with anything more than 10 rounds no matter when the purchase was made? I see its a criminal offense with no first warning clause. So is everyone going to run out and buy cali mags or pay money to get pinned?

I think you’re reading an old version of the bill and all that got removed. Make sure you’re reading the final, passed version.

Ahh thanks will do thats a lot to comb through and make out exactly what it means.. I was hoping someone could find the actual rcw.. will try and do some research thanks

The meat of it is at the end of page 8 and page 9. Sections 3-7. The top bit is just commentary and definitions.

Basically, no new restrictions on using 10+ mags, only buying new ones, importing them, manufacturing them, etc.

Right on sounds like u can buy mags in other states but if they found out they were made after July 1 it could be an issue.. can't see where it explicitly says u cant

It doesn't. You can buy all the mags you want in other states. However, bringing mags over ten rounds into the state is where you could be breaking the law.

Well yes thats the point.. you could buy magz in Idaho legally  after July 1 but if your your possessing them in wa after the law takes effect are you now committing a crime? Obviously  this law is bs just like I 594 but this seems to have self defense implications potentially, under the guise of the courts

There is no verbiage in SB5708 about possessing magazines that hold over ten rounds. You just won't be able to buy/transfer them anymore.

It is illegal to import.

(38) "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.

So I guess it will be illegal to purchase "hi-capacity" mags in another State and bring them into Washington.

Just like it's also illegal to go to Oregon and buy a pair of Carhartt's, bring them into Washington, and then not send the Washington State department of revenue the appropriate Washington State sales tax on those Carhartt's.

The two laws a equally enforceable.

I think Idaho will verify your state of primary residence and not sell to wa residences, same as Im sure they dont sell to residents of other states with mag restrictions.  Same way if you buy mags off the internet right now, as I did recently, I was directed to a notation showing restrictions by state, and you can bet wa will be on that list 7-1 and they wont sell you any high capacity mags.

Local gun stores around here have hi capacity mags stacked deep. Wonder come July 1st if they will return them to distributors or have a big sale the last week of June? Maybe give Inslee the middle finger

Manufacturer's have been catering to WA orders since the stupid "law" passed. That's why sporting goods stores have 55 gallon drums full of Standard capacity mags. These laws put more standard cap mags on the streets in two months than normal sales would do in two years. Guys like me that don't need more buy more just because...I lost count of how many I have and I'm not afraid to say it...

And I'm waiting for that big end of June sale ..

[buckfvr]

As time runs out, will they muck them out or mark them up ??

Guns, magazines and/or ammo.......buy them when they're cheap and especially, available.
