Washington State Supreme Court Incorporates Heller- not FFR

[hap]

Just saw the WA Supremes have decided Heller, the DC Gun Ban case the SCOTUS ruled on last summer, applies to WA State law.

Heller basically stated the right to own guns is an individual right; self-protection is a right without the need to back down; Requiring locked storage is not legal, a defense firearm must be ready when needed; classes of firearms may not be outlawed (essentially stating the Assault Weapons Ban of Bush I would not be legal today); and a few other points...

Not trying to debate it, just the fact it is now law in WA. It means little if the Supreme Court incorporates it as expected in the next few months, but the defendant in the case is pretty happy right now. State v. Sieyes is the case they used to decide to incorporate.
