Hunting Washington Forum

I drew N. Warner Archery tag. Anybody know anybody thats had it?? Any info would help

I would buy an antlerless turkey tag!

 

The closest thing WA has to any registration law is RCW 9.41.139.  Which isn't even defined.  It was part of the latest idiotic 1639 measure. It gives the state agencies 12 months to come up with a cost effective process to verify on an annual basis that persons who purchased handguns and semiautomatic rifles are still eligible to possess them every year.  Meaning they will find a way to track purchases of those handguns and semiautomatic rifle purchases starting after July 1, 2019.  But have no process or method in place to do it yet.  There is no way they can do anything to you for guns purchased prior to that date. 


There is no federal firearm registry.  And hundreds of millions of guns have been transferred in this country without a registry or any way of tracking who has what gun.  There are many guns in circulation with the same serial numbers.  German factories started every year over a "0" with the M98 Mausers and there are millions of those in circulation.  There is no way a government agency could keep any of that straight if say 327 of the same exact serial number existed on US soil.  No, I wouldn't worry about enforcement of a registry on an older gun, even if a new silly law were written. 

Thanks phool kind of what I was thinking. Still in shock about this hunt. I just finished reading the thread on your moose hunt. Man sounds like you had quite the adventure.

 You guys will be just fine, congrats on the draw!
