I'm attending a wedding in Seattle, and want to bring some toys, since everyone is doing a big range day instead of the usual antics of strippers and blow. Items I want to bring....
A POS highpoint C9 (engraved and embellished real fancy as a groom's gag gift). A pinned and welded 16" upper with a silencer. A Ruger .22/45 pistol with silencer (10 round mag). Glock 19 with no magazine, and a silencer. A featureless Remington 870. I know everyone in WA had some new laws pass and the AR upper should be OK since it's not a gun. There are plenty of normal capacity Glock 19 mags at the wedding. Theoretically I should be OK but want to make sure my packing list passes muster with the apes at the airport TSA. Much appreciated to everyone for any second looks and advice. |

Assuming the Ruger and Glock have threaded barrels for the suppressors, which makes them “assault weapons” under our stupid laws.

They both have threaded barrels.
What about the pinned and welded AR upper with screw on adapter and can? It's not attached to a gun. I could maybe just bring the Glock slide and barrel with suppressor since there will be more Glocks 19s there than hands to hold them. Components are not a gun until they touch a receiver. I'm willing to leave the silenced .22 at home if it's going to cause a stink. |

Your AR is illegal to bring into WA as well as your pistols with threaded barrels. When you go through TSA on the way home and you are checking these items, don’t be surprised if TSA notifies the Port of Seattle PD and you might find yourself in some trouble.

The last time I flew in from Anchorage for a hunt; the TSA drone swabbed my shotgun for gunpowder residue. |

Correct. It's listing who an FFL can sell to, Military, LE, and non-residents. |

Talking to the wedding party organizer, in this instance it's better for me to just leave my guns at home minus the opulently engraved hi-point grooms gift.
Will I run into any problems flying in from out of state with a bunch of ammo? There will be no shortage of firearms there the out of staters can borrow. |

IANAL but there is almost no chance you will have issues. You are more likely to be in a plane crash on the flight here.
WA just doesn't prosecute gun crimes at all, and there hasn't been a single attempt to prosecute an individual under all our stupid new AWB and mag laws. Ferguson knows that a fast track criminal trial could blow up all these unconstitutional laws in a heartbeat. Our transfer ban is a decade old now, and the one time they tried to prosecute, they couldn't even manage to nail a guy who shoplifted a gun from Cabela's. Since voters adopted Initiative 594, or I-594, in 2014 regarding background checks for firearm sales and transfers, only one person in the state's three largest counties has been charged and convicted of violating the law, and no one at the state level has been charged or convicted. |
