Moving to WA soon... gun laws in flux?
I am fairly new to the gun hobby, currently living in OR but likely to move to WA soon. I only own a Glock and Ruger 10/22 with a threaded barrel (w/ plans for a suppressor), which I don't believe will cause any issues from my reading of the current laws. In the process of getting both OR and UT CHLs.
But I'll probably still be traveling to shoot in OR pretty regularly and it seems like I am going to have to ditch all my mags more than 10rds? What do people do who live on the state lines and regularly shoot in both states? Or conceal carry in both states? Any heads up about other things I should be thinking about?
I also want to get a Taurus TX22 TORO and it seems like I need to wait on that until I know where I will be living full time. Seems like they make a non-threaded version for states like WA with the ridiculous threaded barrel ban.
(As an aside I work in regulatory policy in another industry and I thought my area of expertise the laws were ridiculously bad and nonsensical... dipping my toe into the gun control regulations even as a beginner to firearms I think gun control laws are a new winner for lacking common sense!)
