Washington State's House Bill 1163, signed into law by Governor Ferguson, mandates a permit to purchase firearms and requires mandatory live fire training for concealed pistol licenses. While the law takes effect May 1st, 2027, legal challenges are anticipated but may be delayed until injury occurs. The speaker advises Washington residents to purchase desired firearms and obtain/renew concealed pistol licenses before the effective date.
This video from Washington Gun Law TV, hosted by William Kirk, analyzes how "permit to purchase" laws are emerging as a new strategy for civilian disarmament, even in light of Supreme Court rulings. It examines specific legislation in Colorado (SB 3), Washington (HB 1163), and California (AB 1187), highlighting how these laws impose mandatory training, licensing, and potentially lengthy waiting periods, creating significant barriers to firearm acquisition. The discussion also touches upon the interpretation of Bruen's Footnote 9 and its implications for challenging such regulations.
