Post AOWs in Washington State?
Washington does not allow SBSs, and only recently started allowing SBRs (in accordance with Fed law). I thought firearms classified by the Feds as AOWs were allowed in Washington, but I can't even find that term defined in RCW 9-41.

Anyone?

I own one. Not sure about the RCW's, but the feds wont approve it if its not legal in your state. AOW is a weird duck for sure, hence the name. Not a shot gun... Not a hand gun... :cheers2:

AOWs are legal. RCWs only state that which is illegal. If it's not in there, it's legal.

:plusone:

The old Nulla poena sine lege principle.

AOWs aren't mentioned in the RCWs, so most of those firearms are considered pistols because the RCW definition of "pistol" is so broad.
