Washington 10 day delay for pistols

[ar addict]

• Type 01 FFL – $200
• Type 02 FFL – $200
• Type 03 FFL – $30
• Type 06 FFL – $30
• Type 07 FFL – $150
• Type 08 FFL – $150
• Type 09 FFL – $3,000
• Type 10 FFL – $3,000
• Type 11 FFL – $3,000

There are three main FFL costs to consider:

1. The initial FFL license application cost
2. The renewal cost for your FFL
3. Cost of registering as an SOT (if applicable)

A Type 1 Dealer's license, the most common type of FFL, has a license cost of $200. The license is valid for three years. After that renewals for each subsequent three year period are $90.

The next most common type of FFL, the manufacturer FFL, has a cost of $150 every three years.

The cost for your initial Federal Firearms License, SOT registration, and other secondary costs can all depend on the FFL license type you want/need.

I well remember back when pretty much anyone could get a Typ1 . We always called it "kitchen table" FFL. It was nice to have one buddy who did this. I have long heard the ATF is NOT friendly to this kind of set up any more though. That they were pressuring people to show they had some kind of "store front" or such now days?

Pretty sure McDonalds has a Type 10; my last meal there sure as s&%t was a "Destructive Device"

My first pistol August 2020 Clark County WA 17 days.

So my .22 took only 7 business days, which is honestly not bad. I bought an old top break S&W I've been looking for for years at another pawn shop in town on Monday, 6/13, so we will see. Hopefully just another 7 business days or less.

Compared to leaving with it same day, 5 minutes after a phone call was made. 7 days later is bad…

12 days total (8 business days), for my latest BGC.

I agree with you 100%. I miss the days of having a CHL meant you walked out with it.

Hummmmm.........
I used to buy my guns and walk out of the gun store w/o problems.
No BGC, no permit, no waiting periods.
AND.......my guns haven't killed anyone.
Is there a lesson here?

Aloha, Mark

Same lesson as when I was in high school. Often those of us with a car had a gun in it. Some new gun to show off, or going hunting or shooting after we got out of class. Somehow NONE of these guns got used to shoot anyone.

Tropics in Orchards told me yesterday that standard wait time for a private handgun transfer is minimum 2 weeks right now. So...if you're doing a private transfer with a mag cap of > 10, suggest buyer and seller come to terms on transfer of the mags separately due to 7/1 deadline.

I bought a gun and filled out the paperwork on 3/3 and got a call on 3/11 that I was good to go.

Ever since the Fed's cut off WA and told them "you're on your own" this seems to be VERY hit and miss. Some have bought a handgun one week, got the OK in a few days, gone back a week later and it took weeks. One of them it took so long he had to start over as the time expired. Sadly we are at the mercy of bureaucrats who get paid every week no matter what they do. So for now the main thing is if you go to transfer in WA be prepared to wait. If you get the ok in a few days just consider it luck.

The last two pistols I've purchased both took 10 days.

My last two took the 10 BUT, the FFL still had not gotten to proceed. They have known us for a long time and just let us walk. Not sure when the hell they finally got the OK from the state. Problem is few dealers will do this any more. I don't blame them. Its not their fault the gun owners did this to themselves.

 

[Loc]

Apparently it matters where you live in WA. Ridgefield is currently taking...6 days.

 

[snarlingdog]

I bought a gun at sporting systems last Saturday I was told 3 week wait.

 

[Catfishmoon]

Just took me 12 business days to get the call from Sportsmans Warehouse that my bgc was completed by King County, near Seattle for a handgun.
They are one of the large corporations that will not release the firearm, regardless of days, until they get clearance from law enforcement. Occasionally they offer a firearm at a low enough sale price that I purchase thru them as opposed to a local gun store.
