One wounded, one arrested following Saturday morning shooting
The shooting occurred as the two men were looking for another person
“We had two individuals go into a house, without permission, looking for someone else,” Dayton said in an interview. “During the course of this back and forth, telling them to get out of the house, one of the occupants of the residence had a concealed carry license and a firearm and approached the individuals to tell them to get out of the house. One of the suspects got into a scuffle with the guy with the firearm and the weapon discharged, striking the suspect in the lower extremity.”
“Initially the individual that shot the suspect was brought in for questioning, and was later released,” Dayton said. “He’s not a convicted felon, he’s licensed, and the gun was licensed to him.”
Questions for the press:
If the shooting took place at a private residence- there is no requirement for an occupant of the residence to have a concealed carry license?
Does owning a handgun in WA require a license? How and when is a handgun licensed in WA?
“…the gun was licensed to him.”
If a handgun was legally manufactured and sold 75 years ago- how do 2024 gun control restrictions apply?
In Washington State:
NRA-ILA says no permit required to purchase a handgun.
No licensing of firearms owners.
