SB 5349 Washington Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Exempting a concealed pistol license holder from the prohibition against importing firearms classified as assault rifles.

This bill would allow Washington residents with valid concealed pistol licenses to legally import assault rifles into the state. Currently, state law prohibits importing assault rifles, but this bill adds an exemption specifically for license holders under RCW 9.41.390(2)(e). The key change modifies the existing prohibition to exclude license holders from the import restriction. It does not affect general firearm sales or other existing exemptions.
