This video explains Washington State's safe storage law (RCW 9.41.360) and how to avoid criminal liability if a firearm is stolen. It emphasizes that the law does not mandate specific storage methods but holds owners accountable if negligence leads to a prohibited person accessing the firearm. Crucially, reporting the theft to local law enforcement within 5 days of discovery exempts the owner from liability, even if the storage was considered irresponsible.
