Join the #1 community for gun owners of the Northwest
We believe the 2nd Amendment is best defended through grass-roots organization, education, and advocacy centered around individual gun owners. It is our mission to encourage, organize, and support these efforts throughout Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming.
I believe that there's an FFL in Vancouver that will do the transfer fr $10. In Washington, the individual doesn't pay for the background check like Oregon, so it's much cheaper for transfers.
I think it is 3 days (might be 5) unless you have your CPL, then you can walk out as soon as the background check and paperwork clear. You could check out the RCW, don't remember which section that is in: http://apps.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?Cite=9.41
You could loan it to him, long term with no FFL, but if it a permanent transfer you need to.
And that use tax really pisses me off. Especially on second, third, fourth hand guns. They tax it every step of the way. Same with cars, it's really messed up. Another reason to fight tooth and nail against background checks and registrations, so they can't tax us more.
Wow I just read that use tax. What BS!!! I'll make a bill of sale up for $0.01. That way WA can suck it. I'm not paying tax on a gun this expensive.
It's a Kimber Compact Custom. A series 70. 4" barrel, officer grip, steel frame. I've only seen one other for $1100. And it had so many rounds down is it needed a new barrel.
I really appreciate that info bigstick! If I went to transfer this and didn't have that bill of sale, it would be really awkward telling them I'm just going to let him borrow it until I put his old balls in a home! Lmao
Lol funny you say that! I do have cancer (I'm ok though, stem cell transplant) and still that thought had never crossed my mind. Even with all the crap I've dealt with I'm not into that sort of thing. D.A.R.E. worked for me, I'll pass on green cookies.
I am afraid the bill of sale can not be for $0.01:
