Legal places to shoot in the woods in WA

The answer.....period!

read the follow legislation:

WAC 332-52-145
http://apps.leg.wa.gov/wac/default.aspx?cite=332-52-145

WAC 332-52-100
http://apps.leg.wa.gov/wac/default.aspx?cite=332-52-100

&

RCW 9.41
http://apps.leg.wa.gov/rcw/default.aspx?cite=9.41



these two peices of legislature are extremely important for all gun owners to know inside and out as some law enforcement officials and other parties my not understand the fullness of these laws and may misslead you for the purposes of suppressing your rights in a way that would be more fitting to their own views on guns and their use.....

In short the hippies will lie to you because they hate guns

you can shoot on any property that you own so long as:
it is greater than 500 ft from any structures or property not intended for shootting
there are no local laws further restricting firearms use(i.e KING COUNTY)
the targets and backstop are adequate
you are not shooting along or across a roadway, trail or other lane of passage
and you are doing so safely


READ THE LAW AND KNOW THEM!!!!!!! they are very detailed... and it may surprise you how much of it is there to protect the shooter/gun owner.

also the quote posted previously about the Fish and Wildlife land states that they may restrict firearms usage for recreation not protection or hunting and it states that they must post it..... this is not a bad thing as they usually don't post it everywhere they would rather send some official to tell you... you don't have to take his word for it...... if it is not posted he must present official documentation that the area you are in is designated as a NO SHOOTING AREA or advise you that your shooting practices are unsafe and why.....

however Tresspassing laws still apply!!!!!

also as a side note if any one has property and/or and old building you just don't know what to do with please read the following if you like shooting as much as i do:

RCW 79A.25.210
http://apps.leg.wa.gov/rcw/default.aspx?cite=79A.25.210


basiclly it says that there is "FREE MONEY" to build/mantain shooting facillity for non-profit training and practice.

you could build your own non-profit range and all you have to buy is the expendable products (i.e. ear plugs, target, ammo, etc.)

Oh yeah 1 more thing

NO SHOOTING IN CITY LIMITS

(i.e. STEILACOOM, LAKEWOOD, TACOMA, OR SEATTLE)

FOR OBVIOUSE REASONS
-with the eception of self defense or protection of ones self or others on real property under your controll as outlined in RCW 9.41

just remember to read and know the laws you shoot at your own risk and i can't be held responsible for your actions and how they may affect you and others if the laws are not followed as they are written
