A question from the "silencer" sticky
Unless things have changed WA state allows one to own a silencer, but you can't use it within the state. Gotta cross over to OR or ID to shoot your toy.
As the poster pointed out, you can legally own a silencer in Washington State, but you have to go to OR or ID to use it. Now, my question is, do you have to fill out and send BATF that interstate transportation notice when you do that (I forget the number, and I had to do it for mine when I moved from FL to AZ), or is that form only necessary if you are changing state of residence?

I think Washington changed that last year
No 5320.20 is needed for a silencer across state lines |

Gyvel, if you read a few posts further down in the silencer sticky, we discuss how that law changed: That law was reversed almost five years ago. Now we just follow federal law when it comes to silencers; any place you can shoot a firearm in WA state, you can shoot a silenced firearm. In fact, silencers aren't even considered to be firearms according to state law.
And like Tom pointed out, no form 5320.20 is required to transport silencers and AOWs across state lines.

Thanks to all. Glad to see some common sense starting to appear.
