Defund the politicians and make them wear body cams.

I was born and raised her, my family has deep roots in this state. I don't recognize it anymore. Native Washingtonians are a minority here, California transplants and others have ruined this state. I attended a talk State Senator Lynda Wilson (R) last Saturday. She laid out all the bills the democrats are proposing. It's downright scary. I'm not running away I'm going to stay and fight. They are going to try this in every state. We must get involved to stop them.

That's why I'm telling myself I'm staying in Illinois. They want you to leave.

California passed a law greatly restricting where people with ccw licenses can carry

To the point that I'm not sure I'll bother renewing my CCW license.

But a couple bright spots. The 9th circuit court blocked the location restrictions from taking effect for now.

I also got a note from my county sheriff saying he intends to fight the new restrictions.

Reading between the lines I doubt he would enforce this law.

There is a trend for red counties to not enforce state laws that are clearly unconstitutional.

I think it's great that conservative counties ignoring state laws.

Gives the state government some of their own medicine for ignoring federal laws, scotus and the constitution.

It's turned into another liberal toilet. Certainly glad we saw the writing on the wall and moved out.

Yep, I'm a one issue voter.

If you can't even stand up for our 2A rights, then I don't need to listen to any of the other garbage coming out of your face.

I've called WA. home for 58 years and there are still a lot of good Americans living here.

 

[Old 44 Guy]

Some of my family live there. I visit every year so know the situation there. Their taxes gun laws and food are higher than California's. Their politics are the same. Terrible.

And worse; mandatory liability insurance for all gun owners!

Proposed Washington State law requiring mandatory liability insurance if you have a firearm in your residence.

Ever since mail vetoing things went down hill here.
Not the same state that I moved to in 1992.....

 

[riverrat38]

Looks like HB 2118 in WA State legislature passed:

2024-03-05 House Passed final passage; yeas, 56; nays, 39; absent, 0; excused, 2.

This is the bill designed to put FFL's out of business. Maybe a 2nd Amendment judge will put a hold on the law until it gets to the Supreme Court. Maybe! Or, until the political winds blow in a different direction in WA State. At present, they are blowing in a rather foul direction!

And worse; mandatory liability insurance for all gun owners!

This is something that I've been hearing bandied about from liberal states for decades. It's one of those things that looks good on the surface, after all we require cars to have insurance, but will be a nightmare to implement and enforce.

The good part? If your neighbor accidentally shoots your car, his insurance will pay. Sure you could sue him but then the lawyer gets a third and you may never collect.

Or you're getting mugged and you miss the bad guy and shatter a big shop window. I can't afford thousands to replace a giant pane of glass. Insurance to the resuce.

The downsides?

Well, my neighbor who shot my car might get his insurance cancelled and have to surrender his guns.

How will it be enforced? With cars, your insurance info is often tied to the registration. Cancel your insurance and your registration is cancelled. What will they do with guns? Come to your home with a warrant when you cancel your policy?

Most bad things done with guns are done by bad people. Will those bad people have insurance?

Also, if you get charged with a crime, will your insurance abandon you like many of the "carry insurance" companies?

Will your premiums be reduced if you get training like car insurance premiums. Go to GunSite and get 10% off?
