Can someone tell me the net ionic equation of solid barium sulfite and hydrochloric acid? Confused whether to break down the compound BaSo3 into its ionic form.

Can someone tell me the net ionic equation of solid barium sulfite and hydrochloric acid? Confused whether to break down the compound BaSo3 into its ionic form.
This is what I have:
Molecular equation:
BaSO3(s) + 2HCl(aq) --> BaCl2(aq) + H20(l) + SO2(g)
Ionic (this is where I'm confused. Does the solid compound dissociate with HCl?):
Ba2+(aq) + SO3 2-(aq) + 2H+(aq) + 2Cl-(aq) -->Ba2+(aq) + 2Cl-(aq) + H2O(l) + SO2(g)
I'm not sure either, but we usually do not cross out the solids in an ionic equation, so that we get:
