I live near Sandpoint, ID and work in Newport WA. After reading the info on this site see below)I realized that I cannot carry in my car once I cross the border into Washington. Does this mean I can't carry on my hip or in my console or both? Do I have to unload every morning and reload every evening?
Thanks in advance!
Washington
Summary
Washington is an open carry state. However, the practice is not common due to serial misinformation about the legality of it among law enforcement. There are significant efforts by OpenCarry.org members to educate the law enforcement agencies, you may see the progress on the state forum. You are also not allowed to carry a loaded handgun in your car unless you possess a concealed pistol license
