William Kirk of Washington Gun Law details HB 2118, a Washington State bill poised to impose financially ruinous security and surveillance requirements on Federal Firearms Licensees (FFLs). The legislation, modeled after California's Penal Code 26806, mandates extensive physical security upgrades, stringent operational security protocols, 24/7 video and audio surveillance with six years of storage, and significant insurance coverage. Kirk argues these unfeasible costs will effectively destroy the FFL industry in Washington, including home-based dealers, and urges residents to contact legislators in opposition.
