BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON:

 

    Sec. 1.  RCW 9.41.070 and 1992 c 168 s 1 are each amended to read as follows:

    (1) The judge of a court of record, the chief of police of a municipality, or the sheriff of a county, shall within thirty days after the filing of an application of any person issue a license to such person to carry a pistol concealed on his or her person within this state for four years from date of issue, for the purposes of protection or while engaged in business, sport, or while traveling.  However, if the applicant does not have a valid permanent Washington driver's license or Washington state identification card or has not been a resident of the state for the previous consecutive ninety days, the issuing authority shall have up to sixty days after the filing of the application to issue a license.  Such ((applicant's constitutional right to bear arms)) application shall not be denied, unless ((he or she)) the applicant:

    (a) Is ineligible to own a pistol under the provisions of RCW 9.41.040; or

    (b) Is under ((twenty‑one)) eighteen years of age; or

    (c) Is subject to a court order or injunction ((regarding firearms)) pursuant to RCW 10.99.040, 10.99.045, ((or)) 26.09.060, 26.10.115, 26.26.137, 26.50.060, or 26.50.070; or

    (d) Is free on bond or personal recognizance pending trial, appeal, or sentencing for a crime of violence or felony; or

    (e) Has an outstanding warrant for his or her arrest from any court of competent jurisdiction for a felony or misdemeanor; or

    (f) Has been ordered to forfeit a firearm under RCW 9.41.098(1)(d) within one year before filing an application to carry a pistol concealed on his or her person; or

    (g) Has been convicted of any ((of the following offenses:  Assault in the third degree, indecent liberties, malicious mischief in the first degree, possession of stolen property in the first or second degree, or theft in the first or second degree)) felony, or of any violation of RCW 9.41.080, 9.41.230, 9.41.240, 9.41.270, 9.41.280, or 9.41.300.  Any person who becomes ineligible for a concealed pistol permit as a result of a conviction for a crime listed in this subsection (1)(g) and then successfully completes all terms of his or her sentence, as evidenced by a certificate of discharge issued under RCW 9.94A.220 in the case of a sentence under chapter 9.94A RCW, and has not again been convicted of any crime and is not under indictment for any crime, may, one year or longer after such successful sentence completion, petition the district court for a declaration that the person is no longer ineligible for a concealed pistol permit under this subsection (1)(g); or

    (h) Has been committed by court order for treatment of mental illness under RCW 71.05.320 or chapter 10.77 RCW, or equivalent statutes of another jurisdiction, and who has not at the time of application had his or her right to possess a firearm restored by the methods provided by law; or

    (i) Has failed to present evidence of competence with a pistol.  Any of the following items shall suffice as evidence of competence with a pistol:

    (i) Evidence of completion of a hunter education or hunter safety course approved by the department of fish and wildlife or a similar agency of another state if pistol safety was a component of the course;

    (ii) Evidence of completion of a national rifle association firearm safety training course if pistol safety was a component of the course;

    (iii) Evidence of completion of a firearm safety training course conducted by a firearm instructor certified by a law enforcement agency or the national rifle association if pistol safety was a component of the course;

    (iv) Evidence of completion of a firearm safety training course offered by the criminal justice training commission for security guards, investigators, or any law enforcement officer, if pistol safety was a component of the course;

    (v) Evidence of equivalent experience with a pistol through participation in organized shooting competition or military experience; or

    (vi) Evidence of a satisfactory score on a test, approved or administered by the local law enforcement agency, taken in lieu of a firearm safety training course.  The test shall cover the safe handling and use of pistols, and laws concerning firearms, including the legal use of deadly force.  Nothing in this subsection shall require a local law enforcement agency to approve or administer a test.

    The provisions of this subsection (1)(i) shall not apply to applicants for license renewals.

    (2) Any person whose firearms rights have been restricted and who has been granted relief from disabilities by the secretary of the treasury under 18 U.S.C. Sec. 925(c) or who is exempt under 18 U.S.C. Sec. 921(a)(20) shall have his or her right to acquire, receive, transfer, ship, transport, carry, and possess firearms in accordance with Washington state law restored.

    (3) The license shall be revoked by the issuing authority immediately upon conviction of a crime which makes such a person ineligible to own a pistol or upon the ((third)) second conviction for a violation of this chapter ((within five calendar years)).

    (4) Upon an order to forfeit a firearm under RCW 9.41.098(1)(d) the issuing authority shall:

    (a) On the first forfeiture, revoke the license for one year;

    (b) On the second forfeiture, revoke the license for two years;

    (c) On the third or subsequent forfeiture, revoke the license for five years.

Any person whose license is revoked as a result of a forfeiture of a firearm under RCW 9.41.098(1)(d) may not reapply for a new license until the end of the revocation period.  The issuing authority shall notify, in writing, the department of licensing upon revocation of a license.  The department of licensing shall record the revocation.

    (5) The license shall be in triplicate, in form to be prescribed by the department of licensing, and shall bear the name, address, and description, fingerprints, and signature of the licensee, and the licensee's driver's license number or state identification card number if used for identification in applying for the license.  The license application shall contain a warning substantially as follows:

 

CAUTION:  Although state and local laws do not differ, federal law and state law on the possession of firearms differ.  If you are prohibited by federal law from possessing a firearm, you may be prosecuted in federal court.  A state license is not a defense to a federal prosecution.

 

    The license application shall contain a description of the major differences between state and federal law and an explanation of the fact that local laws and ordinances on firearms are preempted by state law and must be consistent with state law.  The application shall contain questions about the applicant's place of birth, whether the applicant is a United States citizen, and if not a citizen whether the applicant has declared the intent to become a citizen and whether he or she has been required to register with the state or federal government and any identification or registration number, if applicable.  The applicant shall not be required to produce a birth certificate or other evidence of citizenship.  An applicant who is not a citizen shall provide documentation showing resident alien status and the applicant's intent to become a citizen.  A person who makes a false statement regarding citizenship on the application is guilty of a misdemean­or. A person who is not a citizen of the United States, or has not declared his or her intention to become a citizen shall meet the additional requirements of RCW 9.41.170.

    The original thereof shall be delivered to the licensee, the duplicate shall within seven days be sent by registered mail to the director of licensing and the triplicate shall be preserved for six years, by the authority issuing said license.

    (6) The fee for the original issuance of a four‑year license shall be twenty‑three dollars:  PROVIDED, That no other additional charges by any branch or unit of government shall be borne by the applicant for the issuance of the license:  PROVIDED FURTHER, That the fee shall be distributed as follows:

    (a) Four dollars shall be paid to the state general fund;

    (b) Four dollars shall be paid to the agency taking the fingerprints of the person licensed;

    (c) Twelve dollars shall be paid to the issuing authority for the purpose of enforcing this chapter; and

    (d) Three dollars to the firearms range account in the general fund.

    (7) The fee for the renewal of such license shall be fifteen dollars:  PROVIDED, That no other additional charges by any branch or unit of government shall be borne by the applicant for the renewal of the license:  PROVIDED FURTHER, That the fee shall be distributed as follows:

    (a) Four dollars shall be paid to the state general fund;

    (b) Eight dollars shall be paid to the issuing authority for the purpose of enforcing this chapter; and

    (c) Three dollars to the firearms range account in the general fund.

    (8) Payment shall be by cash, check, or money order at the option of the applicant.  Additional methods of payment may be allowed at the option of the issuing authority.

    (9) A licensee may renew a license if the licensee applies for renewal within ninety days before or after the expiration date of the license.  A license so renewed shall take effect on the expiration date of the prior license.  A licensee renewing after the expiration date of the license must pay a late renewal penalty of ten dollars in addition to the renewal fee specified in subsection (7) of this section.  The fee shall be distributed as follows:

    (a) Three dollars shall be deposited in the state wildlife fund and used exclusively for the printing and distribution of a pamphlet on the legal limits of the use of firearms, firearms safety, and the preemptive nature of state law.  The pamphlet shall be given to each applicant for a license; and

    (b) Seven dollars shall be paid to the issuing authority for the purpose of enforcing this chapter.

    (10) Notwithstanding the requirements of subsections (1) through (9) of this section, the chief of police of the municipality or the sheriff of the county of the applicant's residence may issue a temporary emergency license for good cause pending review under subsection (1) of this section.

    (11) A political subdivision of the state shall not modify the requirements of this section or chapter, nor may a political subdivision ask the applicant to voluntarily submit any information not required by this section.  A civil suit may be brought to enjoin a wrongful refusal to issue a license or a wrongful modification of the requirements of this section or chapter. The civil suit may be brought in the county in which the application was made or in Thurston county at the discretion of the petitioner.  Any person who prevails against a public agency in any action in the courts for a violation of this chapter shall be awarded costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred in connection with such legal action.

 

    Sec. 2.  RCW 9.41.230 and 1909 c 249 s 307 are each amended to read as follows:

    Every person who shall aim any gun, pistol, revolver or other firearm, whether loaded or not, at or towards any human being, or who shall willfully discharge any firearm, air gun or other weapon, or throw any deadly missile in a public place, or in any place where any person might be endangered thereby, although no injury result, shall be guilty of a ((misdemeanor)) class C felony.

 

    Sec. 3.  RCW 9.41.240 and 1971 c 34 s 1 are each amended to read as follows:

    (1) Except as provided in subsection (2) of this section, no ((minor)) person under the age of ((fourteen)) eighteen years shall handle or have in his or her possession or under his or her control, except while accompanied by or under the immediate charge of his or her parent or guardian or other adult approved for the purpose of this section by the parent or guardian, or while under the supervision of a certified safety instructor at an established gun range or firearm training class, any firearm of any kind for hunting or target practice or for other purposes.  Every person violating any of the foregoing provisions, or aiding or knowingly permitting any ((such minor)) person under the age of eighteen years to violate the same, ((shall be)) is guilty of a misdemeanor.

    (2) No person under the age of eighteen years shall handle or have in his or her possession or under his or her control any short firearm or pistol for hunting or target practice or for other purposes, except while accompanied by or under the immediate charge of his or her parent or guardian or other adult approved for the purposes of this section by the parent or guardian, provided that such parent, guardian, or other adult must possess a valid concealed weapon license, or while under the supervision of a certified safety instructor at an established gun range or firearm training class.  Every person violating any provision of this section, or aiding or knowingly permitting any person under the age of eighteen years to violate the same, is guilty of a class C felony.

 

    Sec. 4.  RCW 9.41.270 and 1969 c 8 s 1 are each amended to read as follows:

    (1) It shall be unlawful for anyone to carry, exhibit, display, or draw any firearm, dagger, sword, knife or other cutting or stabbing instrument, club, or any other weapon apparently capable of producing bodily harm, in a manner, under circumstances, and at a time and place that either manifests an intent to intimidate another or that warrants alarm for the safety of other persons.

    (2) Any person violating the provisions of subsection (1) above shall be guilty of a ((gross misdemeanor)) class C felony.
