WA State Alien Firearms License PT2
No these are not for lasers and death rays, nor do they apply to my own personal death start, really its just a harmless space station, honestly.
The NRA and the SAF joined forces to get a court ordered in junction so that the DOL would start issuing Alien Firearms Licenses. Quote:
DOL is to once again issue AFLs. Case #2 goes to court in August, this will decide if LPRs will be dropped from AFL, in other words, WA State will NOT require a LPR to get the license just like the other 49 States, where you do not need this license at all. Also If HB1052 makes it to the "gov" and she signs it into law, the same will apply, LPR do not need an AFL... google: WA State HB 1052-2009 <-- all things are pointing to, this shall pass. Anyway if you are a green card holder in WA State, get a copy of the AFL application and fill it out ASAP if you want a license... there's a good chance you'll get it PDQ ! |

Okay, trial 1 went well, we can apply for an AFL now...
Trial 2 takes on the constitutionality of the law.. Also we still need to support HB1052-2009, if the House Bill gets passed first, then the trial will probably not happen, either way we have a two front assault on the law. Below is the info for trial #2 Quote:

HB1052-2009 is moving like a freight train, I hope it doesn't hit a brick wall. !! Feb 10 Scheduled for public hearing in the House Committee on General Government Appropriations at 8:00 AM. (Subject to change) Please email the following and ask that they support HB1052-2009 to: [email protected] BCC: [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] Keep it simple Currently in Washington State, all Legal Permanent Resident Aliens, also known as "Green Card Holders" or “LPRs”, are required to obtain an Alien Firearms License from the Washington State Department of Licensing if they choose to own, borrow, rent or even as so much as hold a firearm, without fear of prosecution leading to deportation. This is in accordance to the current RCWs such as 9.41.070, 9.41.097, 9.41.0975, & 9.41.170 etc. Washington State HB 1052-2009 has been proposed to eliminate the current discriminatory situation against LPRs – NOTE; not illegal or non-immigrant Aliens, and thus will not be in direct contradiction of the Constitution nor existing Federal Laws. As an acquaintance of a Legal Permanent Resident who currently resides in Washington State, that is directly affected by the current RCWs, I trust that you will be in favor of ending such discrimination by supporting the immediate passing of HB1052-2009. Thank you for your consideration of this matter and for your full support. Yours sincerely; |

**** Here is what we were looking for ****
OTHER THAN LEGISLATIVE ACTION Apr 25 JUD - Majority; without recommendation. Governor signed. HB1052-2009-10 is a done deal! 90 days after signing, this is law - Green Card holders no longer need an AFL Right before the next NRA lawsuit it seems... |

Thank you MD Willington
For your dedication to keeping us all informed on the status of this issue. It is good to see that it has finally come to pass that legal challenges and legislative action have corrected the discrimination faced by LPRs.
This is proof that our system does work, and that even though flawed, it can be used to correct itself. Since the law has passed, I believe we can close this thread. Congratulations on a job well done, MD.
