If you haven't heard....Washington State has passed a new gun legislation that will be affecting ALL Washington State residents. In a nutshell the days of going to your local gun store, buying a gun, getting a background check and having a 10-day waiting period is over. Well not quite. I mean...you will still need to do all of those things mentioned, but not before you get permission based on Washington's new gun legislation HB 1143. 

​

This bill essentially states that you must obtain these training requirements before you can have permission to buy a gun. Many citizens are not aware of this so please spread the word. 

​

The purchaser provides proof that he or she has completed a recognized firearm safety training program within the last five years that, at a minimum, includes instruction on:

• Basic firearms safety rules

• Firearms and children, including secure gun storage and talking to children about gun safety

• Firearms and suicide prevention

• Secure gun storage to prevent unauthorized access and use

• Safe handling of firearms

• State and federal firearms laws, including prohibited firearms transfers.

• Use of deadly force laws in Washington state

• Avoiding criminal attack and conflict resolution

​

The training must be sponsored by a nationally recognized organization that customarily offers firearms training, or a firearms training school with instructors certified by a nationally recognized organization that customarily offers firearms training".

The proof of training shall be in the form of a certificate that states under the penalty of perjury the training included the minimum requirements mentioned above.
