I guess some things and some relationships are not meant to last. After a six month absence it looks like I will be returning back home to Washington specifically the Kitsap/ King county area somewhere near the end of this month. I have not been gone too long but I also have not done the best job of keeping up with the local news. Bas there been any changes to laws or events that I need to know about
Not sure how long it's been since you've been gone, but probably not much change though there's some pushing in the pipe.
They're trying to push an "assault weapon" ban here, as well as attempting "universal background checks" for private sales, which would have the effect of nearly outlawing private sales since LEOs can't use NICS for that purpose and most gun shops won't do that check for $20 or less.
Main bills to watch out for are those two, there are several other stupid ones but when you get here make sure to call up your legislators and bug them about HB 1588 and SB 5737. The "assault weapons" ban is fairly dead on the Senate side, but by no means is it as dead as it needs to be.
