NSSF^® has received multiple reports that the Washington Attorney General’s office is sending undercover agents to FFLs in the state to purchase “high capacity” magazines.

Some FFLs have received stiff fines and as of now, selling “high capacity” magazines remains illegal in the Evergreen State. Please see this news item from KOMO News.

As a reminder, Washington state law allows FFLs to acquire magazines with 11+ rounds and to sell them to the military or law enforcement, or to sell to out of state customers. It would however be ill-advised for a Washington state FFL to sell an 11+ magazine to a resident of another state in an in-person, face-to-face transaction inside their licensed establishment.

NSSF will continue to keep our members updated.
