Washington is an incredibly schizophrenic state when it comes to Firearms law/politics.
They've been Shall Issue for quite some time. Don't require training like neighboring Oregon.
They have two conflicting ballot initiatives before the legislature one passing expanded background checks even more draconian and stupid than the recent Federal attempt, and one prohibiting any sort of expanded BG check beyond what the Federal law requires.
They have a three county area that pretty much swings the whole state Democrat. And while Party affiliation isn't a universal indicator of position, it's generally close. Yet in the middle of that three county area are untold numbers of gun stores, and firing ranges. It would take quite all day and wouldn't be much fun, but I could walk to at least four gun stores, and two indoor ranges from my house in the middle of that area on one big loop.
