    WA House Republican's Amendment to 594 reform bill bans Open Carry for self-defense

    WAGR's new initiative for 2016: Extreme Risk Protection orders

    Well, looks like we may be off the hook on the "AWB" or preemption repeal, however EPOs are pretty dangerous given their obvious unconstitutionality and despicable nature in creating a new standard of "guilty until proven innocent." I doubt the final draft will contain strict or maybe even ANY...
