Thousands upon thousands new laws are passed every year, very few of them are less restrictive on our private lives.

Who needs guns anyway? Yeah I do own guns but I don't understand the gun fanatics. I'm sick and tired of the NRA telling me how to vote!

It would be hard to reason with logic like that.

That decision was deplorable...judge should be horse whipped and staked to an ant pile.

Even as a life member of NRA I am for some type of background check for gun purchases,( I know not the party line and I may be in the minority here, but so be it) But this is a badly worded and needs to be struck down.

So I guess when this passes I will become a felon.

I am in possession of my two stepson's weapons since they are both deployed with the military and out of the state and country. I find it highly offensive that we will have to go through a background check so that they can get their legally owned weapons back.
All three of us have our concealed carry licenses.

Not that I am aware of.

I-594 would make the event in this thread illegal.

I loaned a number of kids the use of my shotguns for the hunt.

I-594 is horribly written and makes currently lawful citizens into unwitting criminals.

Dogfish. Your hunt would likely be allowed under at least two exceptions to the statute.

(iv) to a person who is under eighteen years of age for lawful hunting, sporting, or educational purposes while under the direct supervision and control of a responsible adult who is not prohibited from possessing firearms; or (v) while hunting if the hunting is legal in all places where the person to whom the firearm is transferred possesses the firearm and the person to whom the firearm is transferred has completed all training and holds all licenses or permits required for such hunting

I cut and paste these two exceptions directly from the proposed 594. I am assuming you are lawfully allowed to possess firearms and have completed training required and are licensed to hunt.

Because it was put and take on private property no licenses were required after I checked into it with the WDFW wildlife section, so I dropped that requirement. There were a number of kids who had not passed hunter ed, nor did they have licenses, thereby not fitting into the provisions of the proposed law as written.


Some of the kids didn't have training or licenses.

Early results are looking very good!

I would disagree.

Dog - one of the beauties of America. Reasonable people can disagree and not go off the deep end. As long as we are given the opportunity, we'll live to fight another day.....

What a bunch of cowards and sheep live in this state. I guess it is now illegal to fly across the mountains for a whitetail hunt and borrow a buddies gun. Have to take the time, baggage fees and pain in the a$$ of checking a firearm.

Always nice to see a knee jerk reaction that limits rights and gives the state another reason to arrest/fine law abiding citizens. Don't all the citidiots feel safer now????

The majority of the wet side of this state went of the deep end years ago. 594 passing is just more proof of it, as if anyone really needs any more proof.

I find it amusing that a buncha grumpy old guys that live in Washington, can't stop talking about how stupid people that live in Washington are.

"Can't stop talking" about it, really? And besides, I'm not grumpy, but then, I'm not as easily amused as you are either.

I find it somewhat surprising that I find myself agreeing with KK again.

594's passing was but another case of emotions triumph over reason.

Same here.

Fish on...

If A=B and B=C then, C must also equal A.
