I posted a similar question in the Washington hometown forum but thought here might get more responses. I am moving to Washington State and have a small - to some of your standards - NFA collection. I can take my suppressor with me as but not the SBR or MG. My question is if I am a resident of Washington but have a safe deposit box in Oregon can I legally store the SBR and MG there? What about storage at a relative's home in a legal state? I think this is legal as long as nobody has access to the weapons except me, right? Thanks, Tim |
Both should be fine (see below).
I'm sure you already knew this, but you will need an Application to Transport Interstate for the SBR and MG. |

you have got to be kidding me.............. Washington says you can have silencers but not Machine guns or SBRs according to their state regs.....  WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that is the stupidest thing I have ever heard.... "ok we are going to let you suppress your fire (basically saying you can shoot decitfully anywhere you want because no one will hear) but you just cant do it with a Machine Gun or SBR.." uhhh.... ummmm.... errrr..... Where is the logic there and what crime are they trying to prevent by allowing suppressors but not SBRs or MGs? Even if it was an effective way of doing things you would think it would be the other way around... not allowing suppressors but allowing MGs. Thats what MA does.... I just dont get these lawmakers mindsets. I dont think we are supposed to understand their logic.   Wow... |
That's nothing compared to this bit of logic... While you can own a silencer in Washington state, it may not be used on a firearm. Source: RCW 9.41.250(3) found at law.justia.com/washington/codes/title9/9.41.250.html Every person who: (1) Manufactures, sells, or disposes of or possesses any instrument or weapon of the kind usually known as slung shot, sand club, or metal knuckles, or spring blade knife, or any knife the blade of which is automatically released by a spring mechanism or other mechanical device, or any knife having a blade which opens, or falls, or is ejected into position by the force of gravity, or by an outward, downward, or centrifugal thrust or movement; (2) Furtively carries with intent to conceal any dagger, dirk, pistol, or other dangerous weapon; or (3) Uses any contrivance or device for suppressing the noise of any firearm, is guilty of a gross misdemeanor punishable under chapter 9A.20 RCW.
