Since the only limit is that this must occur in your presence, it doesn't matter if you're in your hotel room or your own home or on the street. Overall Washington has some of the "best" self defense laws I've seen. Now if we could just fix the state's issues with NFA items...
Yes, but we're still not protected from civil suits if found innocent by the state, the way that a few states are, are we?
