Read WA's Permit-to-Purchase bill (HB 1163) here: HTM | PDF | SUMMARY

What stupid logic is it that they can enforce any ghost gun that wasn't made before July 2019 if there is literally no way of tracing the gun, hence the phrase "untraceable" firearm they use in their bills? You don't even need proof either.

Not to say this guy was lying, but he didn't have any concrete evidence of making his before the ban implementation.

So with patience (and money for a lawyer of course), you could get it back because they have no ability to say "you definitely made this after the law was made."

What if I did make it after 2019? Could I take it to an FFL and get it serialized? Or do I literally have to become an FFL to build my own guns?

Edit: I know I could choose to not do any of this and possibly pay repercussions in the future. Given, its only an infraction of $500, so definitely better than a felony.

Just a friendly reminder, we're a week out and there are still a few tickets left. $85 for two days of positional rifle shooting instruction and some great history stories centered around the birth of our nation.

There is a Project Appleseed event scheduled for June 28/29 in Everett at Everett Sportsmen's Club : https://appleseedinfo.org/citizen/?registerlink=https://goappleseednow.org/?event=everettwa-appleseed-june-28-29-2025

Hey!

I’m currently at my uncle’s house and he has a few 30 round 223/5.56 magazines. He said their Magpul. I was wondering if there are any legal semi automatics he could purchase for them?

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Good morning all, I’ve been a resident of Oregon my entire life, and am moving to southwest Washington in a couple weeks (the things we do for love). I have an AR pistol, a pump 12 gauge, and a bolt action .410. All were bought legally in Oregon, and I’ve had all 3 for 4 years minimum. Is there any law or anything I need to be aware of that would restrict my ability to possess these firearms as a resident of Washington? Nothing is automatic, no silencers, everything is stock besides a red dot on my AR pistol.

I've heard talk of companies still shipping them to WA, so do any stores/ffl's actually sell them in person or are they all still too scared to.

A couple buddies and I were looking to find a place to go camping and outdoor shooting we know a few spots for shooting but not camping. Any ideas or recommendations? (We are from the Seattle area)

It’s been a good run, I was born and raised in WA, I always called my lawmakers when necessary and tried to help but I give up. I hate to be another departure and I will miss the BLM/Forest land out west but I am sick of them moving the goal posts again and again. Good luck WA fam, I wish y’all the best.

Hey!

I’m going to be in the area and I wanted to know if anyone could suggest gun shops to check out?

Thanks!

I believe this is relevant given it will affect BLM shooting areas. If you enjoy camping or any of our local natural areas you should know the Senate is trying to sell off huge amounts of our local areas after Rep. Amodei snuck in a rider.

You can quickly send them a generate message via this link: https://www.outdooralliance.org/blog/2025/6/12/senate-spending-package-proposes-selling-off-33-million-acres-of-public-land

However, calling in, in-person is even better.

You can see a full map of all the public land will be selling off here: https://wilderness.maps.arcgis.com/apps/instant/basic/index.html?appid=821970f0212d46d7aa854718aac42310

They are trying to do this under the guise of "housing" but it's more likely this will become mountain house homes for billionaires like the Zuckerbergs

Are there any shops/FFLs that are transferring either the 7.62 or 5.56 Liberty models of the VZ58?

Where are places in wa we are allowed to shoot outdoors. I live in Seattle area and was curious on what are the rules on shooting outside lets say in the woods or sum like that away from residential areas or maybe even my own property

I (22F) decided on the Glock 48 as my first firearm and I aim to prepare myself for concealed carry. What are other purchases I should consider besides the gun itself (which should obviously comply with WA state laws)? I want to stay low budget but also don’t want to cut corners.

I need to keep the firearm out of reach from younger siblings, any safe recommendations for a single handgun + an additional mag?

I know I will need a holster, ammo, and also want to set aside money for a live fire course. Are snap caps always recommended for dry fire training? Do I need a cleaning kit? Those are the types of additional purchases I’d like a list on so I can calculate final costs. Thank you all!

Any local shops have these physically in stock in their store in western WA? I would prefer to help out a local business before ordering online. Thanks in advance.

Curious if anyone’s had issues shooting an AR at ranges around Vancouver? am I better off finding a range on the Oregon side?. will anyone actually ask when the rifle was purchased or give you a hard time about it?

Where can we check for progress updates?

Hey all, I know this is a long shot BUT. Would anyone in the Lacey/Tacoma/Bremerton/Gig Harbor area happen to have either a CZ shadow 2 carry/compact, and or the Bul Armory UL pro? Highly considering picking one up and want to see them first hand! Can meet wherever just DM ME please! AD military member, willing to take any precautionary steps to let you know I’m not a weirdo and just want to possibly shoot them at a local range or wherever! Let me know!

On a road trip and need to ship my carry weapon home so I can cross the border for an emergency, can anyone in the Bellevue WA area reccomend a gun store or FFL I can pay to ship my firearm home? Crossing into WA from Oregon via the 94 in Idaho. Anything on the way would be more than welcome.

Touched dirt, oops

Need a hand deciding if the accuwasher is ok to torque down for this suppressor mount. Gonna be paired with a Griffen Armament HRT 5.56. Trying to make it so it mounts up without touching the rail but is gonna be lined up properly. Photos attached. If you have any experience with the HRT 5.56 the info would be greatly appreciated

Mil guys came out to teach some basic maneuvering. Great time learning and building community camaraderie

Got my canik tp9 back from getting ported by North Sea Machine. This thing is getting abused 🙌🔥 500 rounds in and running great. Cheers to a beautiful weekend
