Hunting w/ 30 rd magazine

[jrebel]

As I read deeper.....I am 100% convinced that ammo in the magazine constitutes a loaded firearm in WA.  The City of Arlington has posted this on their web page in the Q/A.  A quick google search states that RCW 77.55.460 has not been recently changed or challenged. 

If something has changed, I would like to see the documentation.

It did change, at the bottom of the page where the numbers are, those are hyper links. You can click the “2018” and see how the law read before this year. Also the 2025 at the bottom indicates it was revised this year.

I have no idea why they changed it from the previous version. I guess like anything else in Washington these days, they just wanted to make it worse.
