What Really are the Age Restrictions for Firearm Possession in Washington State?
William Kirk of Washington Gun Law explains the age restrictions for firearm possession in Washington State, specifically focusing on handguns and semi-automatic rifles. He contrasts the general rule of 18+ with Washington's law requiring individuals to be 21. The video also references the recent Hirschfield v. ATF ruling by the 4th Circuit, which declared a federal law prohibiting 18-20 year olds from possessing handguns unconstitutional. Applicable state statutes and case law are provided for further reference.
