WA Compliant Semi Auto Rifles

Besides these rifles:

Mini 14/30

Browning Bar Mark 3

Inland M1 Carbine

Are there any more center fire semi auto rifles available?

Hb 1240: ak47/ar15 "in all forms", but not the sks "in all forms"... Any internet lawyers want to weigh in?

I'm not asking if I'll find an ffl to sell me one. I'm not asking for standalone opinions either... I'm hoping someone who can reference actual legal precedents, or concepts like the rule of lenity, might weigh in on this.

The bill bans particular firearms, and then certain families like "ar15s in all forms" or "ak47 in all forms". It does not ban the sks "in all forms".

There are a lot of different rifles that are not stamped sks... There's the sks-45, the type 56, the pap m59... One might argue that none of these are banned. The text is careful to address firearm patterns that have many different names with the "in all forms" bit... But not the sks "family".

Out of state property?

Hello all! If I live in Seattle with property in Idaho, can I buy Idaho legal guns in Idaho and leave them there to shoot as long as I don’t take them back?

Driving in Gun free zones

I took a friend to visit a relative in a medical institution last week but noticed when driving in that the entire property has a strict no weapons policy. I do carry and have a cpl but was wondering what would happen in the event of a traffic stop or any confrontation with authorities on the property. I never entered the actual building, I just dropped them off and returned later to pick them up but never left my vehicle. Just curious on this one.

What does WA Alien Firearms License actually do?

I am wondering why would anyone need this license. To get it, you must have a valid hunting license from WA state. Exemptions for not having one under RCW 9.41.175 as a nonimmigrant alien is to have a valid hunting license from any state and be in the country legally. What is the point of this license?

Skagit and or Whatcom outdoor free spots?

Hi. Im new in WA, and located in whatcom very close to Skagit. Looking for an outdoor free place to shoot. Ive seen mention of a pit off hiway 20 somewhere but havent found details. I also found a range with steel targets very near me in the woods but its on private property very near a popular trail. Seems like trouble maybe. Thanks

Clark County/Vancouver - first time buyer/owner requirements for buying used?

I'm researching what permits or other are needed before I buy/own.
I've found a few used trade/sell sites with hand guns I'd like for personal protection while camping.

I'll be taking some training courses as well but what is required and the process for becoming a first time owner of a used hand gun? I will likely want CPL as well right?

Accessible range

I'm paralyzed from the neck down, but I'm still able to shoot using a special device. I was wondering if there's any ranges or just places in the woods that are wheelchair accessible. I've shot at Black Diamond, which was great, but would like something a little closer to the Woodenville area.

Air rifle to remove pest animals in King County?

Good day folks,

I live on just over 1 acre in unincorporated KC. Theres some pest squirells eating our garden and a crazy robin attacking our windows constantly. Assuming my shots are along safe lines and end in dirt, I think its legal to remove these pests with a .177 air rifle?

Thanks!

Sheep company road long range

Any one have any experience putting targets out to 500-600 at sheep company road near Yakima? Is there a down range flag or anything to tell folks not to shoot ? I’d like to know what’s up before I drive my steel for three hours.

Question about Ruger mark IV

Alright everyone don’t roast me for asking, but I’m curious if you can get a Ruger mark IV with a threaded barrel since it’s rimfire pistol. I was reading through hb1240 and it seems like threaded barrels are banned but only on centerfire guns, is that true? Or they outright banned all together?
