Lol I'm guessing my answer was incorrect ;D
I tried to think what weapon could be over 6 foot long and could only think of an old musket[?] from the civil war years and that led to my Southern states ban ;D

It's a misrepresentation of law....Residents of Washington state are prohibited by law from carrying concealed firearms full stop. Obviously, if a firearm were made that were six feet long, concealement would be a physical impossibility, but it would be covered by the absolute ban regardless.
another example
Urban Legend -It is illegal to shoot a rabbit from a submarine.
REAL LAW: It is illegal to shoot at animals from a vehicle. Technically, the urban legend is true, but nowhere was the law drafted with that situation in mind.

Correct:
Kurungaituku was a famous woman huntress. She lived in forest region on the southern boundaries of Rotorua and met her death in the bubbling cauldrons of Whakarewarewa. A.k.a the bird woman. In her cave on jutting Puhaturoa (the lofty rock), Kurungaituku kept many tame animals and beautiful birds as pets. She was gifted with the speed of the fastest athlete, and her winged arms enabled her to skim across the mountains and valleys of her domain.
