The Firing Line Forums - View Single Post - Edited: Washington’s Ballot Initiative 1639 has passed. What now?

The text of 1639 (as written in the WA voter pamphlet) contains no language about carry, open or concealed, by state or out of state residents. Carry is not addressed at all.

SO, 1639 creates no changes in carry law or policy.

If the people involved make changes to WA state policy about reciprocity, that's entirely their own decision, not something driven by 1639, except as its passage emboldens further gun control enthusiasts.
