Perfectly legal to spotlight all year with no weapon in the car

Not true. Wardens can cite you for harassing wildlife and they will.

I just renewed my CWP, 7/14/2010, Stevens county at Colville.
    Original License fee--$36 (5 years)
    late renewal & late penalty fee- $42
    Replacement fee- $10
    FBI fingerprint fee- $19.25

There has been a tremendous change in the spot lighting laws in Washington in the past few decades.
Until a few years ago being in a area where there were deer, with a light, and a fire arm was prima facie evidence of spot lighting.
The Elokia Lake road south of Elokia lake in Spokane county, a mile west of the lake, used to bend to the right. Any person driving that road and making the right hand turn, there lights shined the alfalfa field. This field always had deer at night. If a person stopped or drove slowly so there lights would shine up the deer, was taking a chance of getting stopped by a game protector, as they were known then.  If you had a fire arm you would be written.  A case made in that field, under those conditions, went to the state supreme court and the person found guilty of spot lighting. The basis of the prima facie evidence ruling.  In those years a game protector was exempt from state tresspassing laws when in the preformace of there duty.

These laws have changed but still people remember them.

I'm not paying $60 a year to exercise my right to bear arms.
for cwp????5 yrs every 5 yrs renew

well my county charges 50 every 5 yrs and its worth it to know for sure I am okey dokey with my loaded pistol on me in my rig.....the rules are screwy enough I dont want to risk it all on some stupid technicality I didn't think of.....lawyers get paid to find technicalities I dont ;)

I don't feel a need to carry a loaded handgun with me all the time so that's why I say it's not worth it for me. I only want to have a handgun on me when I'm in the woods, so I'm ok without having the permit. Any other time I'll just keep it unloaded.

Another reason to get one is to increase the number of permit holders that haven't committed a crime, hopefully that includes you.  :chuckle:
