Gun carry laws in Washington state

[dacoontz]

Headed to Washington state for a little vacation. I have a concealed permit from Utah (who doesn't) but wondering what the laws are there. I would imagine that Washington state doesn't recognize Utah's permit but can I carry a hand gun openly while hiking or walking on the beach? Going to Seattle too but I would rather not cause a spectacle there and have produce thrown at me by the hoards of tree huggers. Thanks for any info.

Just answered my own question. Amazing, they recognize my Utah permit. Nice job WA for ignoring Califoregon.

I live here and I wouldn't throw rocks at you.

But I know many uptight do-gooders here that would.

If you haven't already read it, here you go.

RCW 9.41.300: Weapons prohibited in certain places ? Local laws and ordinances ? Exceptions ? Penalty.

Thanks Kanew,
This should keep me square. I appreciate it.

Here is a good reference for carry laws, the founder is a member of this forum. Laws often change so it is also good to check locally.

Have a great time in our Evergreen State, my gun-totin' friend. If you like what you see you might look into buying some property here. We (those of us east of the Cascades, anyway,) welcome anyone responsible enough to take care of their own security by carrying a gun. You'll be among friends here.
