Short Barrels in WA State

[Josh]

Hi all,

Newly registered lurker here.

Can anybody hook me up with the rules & way how it is for NFA short barreled shotguns as they relate to a Washington state resident?

Illegal unless owned pre-1994 (when the law banning them was passed.)

Hi, Josh.

Take a look at RCW 9.41. It should point you in the right direction.

Thanks friends,

Like most of the cursed things this RCW 9.41.190 pretty much directly contradicts US vs. Miller dosen't it?

I mean, if the Miller decision exempts non military firearms from protection under the 2nd, and this RCW declares short barreled shotguns as suitable only for military/government forces...

Yada yada yada. I know, preaching to the choir.

thanks again for the cite.
