>>1354753Nigger I lived on JBLM for 6 fucking years, there is a continuous 24/7 smog belt from Portland to Vancouver stretching from the coast to the foothills of the mountains.
It's so bad the redwoods on the western slope are getting eaten by acid rain.
>We have no restrictions on open carry of guns or knives. I would sure like to know which specific laws you mean* can't have loaded long guns in a vehicle for any reason
* compulsory, universal firearms registration via private-sale background checks and duty to report ALL sales to local LE (I-594, RCW 09.41.110(9)(a) and (b))
* SB 5050 (AWB, further registration) 100% guaranteed to pass
* "safe storage" laws (any firearm not actively being carried must be locked up separate from its ammo; no ability to defend your house with a firearm)
* MG's, DD's, and SBS's outlawed at state level
* mag capacity restrictions in some counties in direct violation of state law (RCW 09.41.290 and RCW 09.41.300 preempt more restrictive legislation at the local level)
*can't even OWN a spring knife/automatic knife/gravity knife (regardless of opening mechanism), sap, slung shot, sand club, metal knuckles, or billy club
*illegal to carry an automatic knife, dirk, dagger, sword, sword-cane, knife with a blade over 6", or any non-firearm weapon regardless of CC permit
* if someone gets upset that you're carrying/displaying a sharp and/or pointy object whether or not it is intended to be or could readily be used as a weapon you're breaking the law (
And that's JUST the weapon laws that are bullshit, and before we get into their bullshit tax laws, bullshit vehicle licensing and registration (especially boats and trailers), landowner rights (or lack thereof, especially regarding trespass and squatting), and a myriad of other things that make it a liberal hellhole.
