I hope this is the right forum for this question. If it is not, forgive me in advance.
So Washington State recently enacted a law which states, I believe, that firearm owners must have their guns locked up while they are not in use. I own three safes and comply fully with this law. However, I was wondering about the legality of hanging a gun on the wall for decoration. My father left me some really interesting older guns (M1903, Luger, a Winchester 1895, WW2 1911...) and I would love to have a couple of them shipped out to me and hang them in my home. So what is legality here? Would it be legal if I removed the firing pins? Would it be legal if I had them locked against the wall? Are certain firearms exempt because they are considered antiques? Any information and/or advise which would help me in legally hanging up a couple of guns in my home would be appreciated.
