In Washington State, RCW 9.41.290 establishes state preemption over firearms regulation, meaning cities and municipalities cannot enact their own gun laws that are more restrictive than state law. While municipalities can regulate zoning for firearms businesses and restrict firearms in specific locations authorized by RCW 9.41.300, they cannot create additional prohibitions on possession, purchase, or transfer. Past attempts by cities to impose stricter regulations have been struck down by courts, reinforcing the strength of state preemption.
