Washington Gun Law TV discusses House Bill 1163, a proposed law requiring a state-issued license and permission slip before purchasing a firearm. This bill mandates comprehensive training, including live-fire exercises, and introduces new denial criteria such as outstanding warrants or pending criminal charges, even for minor offenses. The presenter argues this creates an unnecessary barrier to exercising a constitutional right, effectively requiring a background check to get permission for a background check.
