Wa ferries gun policy


The signs on the boat just say: No illegal guns. They don't appear to say anything about open carry but they would probably abandon ship if they saw you doing that.

Ferry = Public transportation = yes.

THE FERRY IS A VEHICLE so if you are carrying a loaded pistol make sure you have your CPL...

It's fine.  There are no special rules just for the ferry system.

I ride the ferry all the time. I have seen people with very odd, very obvious lumps, but the trolls WSP officiers don't seem to care.

that shit always cracks me up.  No illegal guns allowed.  Are illegal guns allowed anywhere?  just like drug free zones.  Because they are OK everywhere else?  WTF over?

The only reason why firearms are allowed on the Washington State Ferry System is because it's a part of the Washington State Department of Transportation and as such does not fall under the DIRECT jurisdiction of the Coast Guard.

They wouldn't Tannerite is a binary agent, and it dogs don't sniff for those. for all  intents and purposes it's not even an explosive.

Tannerite is composed of NH4NO3, NH4ClO4, Al, ZrH2, and titanium sponge. Most dogs are trained for the NH4NO3.

Perhaps you should have checked the archives....

Why should I check the archives when you're the "special person" who's posting about breaking the law.

I'm not "special" enough to think about dusting public property and a ferry where there might be a bomb sniffing dog just to be "special" is funny.

Take your trolling ass on out of the hometown forum and go vote for Obama.

I' talking about being CPL licensed and legally allowed (not a felon) to carry firearms - not the weapons themselves.  On some of the runs I've sailed through Customs in Anacortes with an AR, AT-4 tube, wearing my Glock and 2000 rounds of ammo without a hitch.

That's what the fuck - out.

You have not proven anyone wrong.
You need to back up your claims with verifyable proof.

Associate is part of a reenactors club that use cannon out on the islands, they never have a problem even though the powder gets all over their trunks.

On the other hand a friend installed the security systms on the ferries and each day he took the ride over to work on the boats, the dog went absolutely coocoococcopuffs for the bacon cheeseburger  he had in the cab.

They are still dogs despite the training.
