Washington: Gun-Free Zone Bill Heads to Senate Floor

Washington: Gun-Free Zone Bill Heads to Senate Floor

On Monday, March 3rd, Senate Bill 5098 was pulled from the Senate Rules Committee to the Senate floor, where it is eligible for a vote at any time. 

Please contact your Senator and urge them to OPPOSE SB 5098 by using the TAKE ACTION button below.

Senate Bill 5098 prohibits the possession of firearms in parks, government buildings, and locations where “children are likely to be present.” While the legislation was amended to exempt concealed pistol license holders, the vague language could be interpreted and applied to interfere with hunting and recreational shooting opportunities. This overbroad language is indicative of the disdain anti-gun legislators have for law-abiding citizens and their desire to turn the entire state of Washington into a "gun-free" zone. 

Please stay tuned to the NRA-ILA website and your inbox for updates as this legislative session progresses.
