Article says "Jerry Edmon Fordyce, 72, was charged with unlawful possession of a firearm in the first degree."
It is perfectly legal to carry/posses pepper spray in Washington state. Jerry used it inappropriately, thus second degree assault, but that doesn't make possession illegal.
Here is the authority for my statement: https://app.leg.wa.gov/rcw/default.aspx?cite=9.91.160
Is there some key fact missing from this story?
