Is it easy to legally carry in the state of Washington?
That is correct.Once you have your permit I believe you can buy a pistol and not wait any mandatory time.

TCOV said:So it seems that there is handgun registration at the state level in WA for a transaction through a ffl.
TCOV said:If that handgun is later sold or transfered through a ffl in WA or another state are the records updated or is it still registered to your name in WA?
TCOV said:How would state records know to update?
TCOV said:Does local LE keep records?
(B) Unless the chief law enforcement officer to whom a statement is transmitted under paragraph (1)(A)(i)(IV) determines that a transaction would violate Federal, State, or local law—
(i) the officer shall, within 20 business days after the date the transferee made the statement on the basis of which the notice was provided, destroy the statement, any record containing information derived from the statement, and any record created as a result of the notice required by paragraph (1)(A)(i)(III);
(ii) the information contained in the statement shall not be conveyed to any person except a person who has a need to know in order to carry out this subsection; and
(iii) the information contained in the statement shall not be used for any purpose other than to carry out this subsection.
TCOV said:My local ffl doesn't know the answer to these questions.
A person shall not carry or place a loaded pistol in any vehicle unless the person has a license to carry a concealed pistol and: (i) The pistol is on the licensee's person, (ii) the licensee is within the vehicle at all times that the pistol is there, or (iii) the licensee is away from the vehicle and the pistol is locked within the vehicle and concealed from view from outside the vehicle.
pintler said:My sense is that they are trying to prohibit e.g. just putting a gun in the glovebox and leaving it there all the time. You can carry (on your person), and you can store the gun in the car while e.g. going somewhere where you can't take the gun, but you can't just leave it in the glovebox forever.
RCW 9.40.050:
(2)(a) A person shall not carry or place a loaded pistol in any vehicle unless the person has a license to carry a concealed pistol and: (i) The pistol is on the licensee's person, (ii) the licensee is within the vehicle at all times that the pistol is there, or (iii) the licensee is away from the vehicle and the pistol is locked within the vehicle and concealed from view from outside the vehicle.
