Hey everyone, Matt here. I'm currently on vacation with my family camping in beautiful Oregon, but I wanted to take a moment to tell you about an important change happening on July 23rd in Washington that could impact your constitutional right to bear arms.
Starting on that date, getting convicted of a second DUI charge in Washington - even if it's amended or pleaded down to reckless driving or negligent driving - will result in losing your right to possess firearms.
I know that might not seem like a big deal to some of you, but this hits at a cherished constitutional right unrelated to DUI charges for others. As an attorney, I have concerns that this could be an overreach of consequences for a second DUI offense.
In this video, I break down the details of this new law in Washington and what it means for gun ownership. I'm interested to hear your thoughts and feedback on whether this change is fair and justified.
Even though I'm enjoying spending time with my family here in Oregon, I wanted to take a moment to inform you of this incoming change to Washington's DUI legislation. It could have a real impact, so it's important everyone understands the laws and penalties there.
