2005-2006 Session

Summary:

A verdict of not guilty by reason of insanity is to be considered the same as a verdict of guilty for purposes of a person’s right to possess a firearm or to obtain a concealed pistol permit. For restoration of these rights, such a person must meet the eligibility requirements that would have applied had he or she been convicted of the crime.

An additional requirement is placed on a person who has been involuntarily committed for mental health treatment and is applying for restoration of his or her right to posses a firearm.

2009-2010 Session

Summary:

The alien firearm statute is repealed and new requirements for the possession of firearms by non-citizens are established. It is a class C felony for a person who is not a citizen of the United States to possess a firearm in Washington unless the person is: a lawful permanent resident; a non-immigrant alien residing in Washington who has obtained an alien firearm license; or a non-immigrant alien residing outside of Washington who meets certain requirements.
