Hey everyone! I don't know if this has been asked already but is it legal for some under 21 but over 18 to buy a Handgun from a Non-FFL in WA? Thanks.

That's because without a CHL, every village, town, city and county has different laws. Without a CHL, most places require the firearm to be transported 'visually'. You'd have to check every ordinance & by-law of 'everywhere' to know what is, and what is not, legal. Being stopped on the wrong side of a traffic light can cost you 'big time'!
Get a CHL, and you can carry your firearm legally in most places.
Frog.
Have run through many pages of this thread and have not found clear statement or ORS proof of how to carry a weapon in my vehicle.... I hope someone here can point me in the proper direction.
I do not have a CWL yet but would consider doing so if it permitted me to keep a handgun in my vehicle. Curious about the rules surrounding a weapon in one's vehicle.
I appreciate any assistance, in the form of a link or just a point in the right direction.
Thanks NWFA
No, gun shows do not have different laws; they must follow state and federal law. OR does have a law that mandates Private Party transactions that take place at a gun show must do a BG check but that's not really what you were asking about.
There is no FFL fee in either OR or WA. That would only apply if you ordered the gun online and used a local FFL to do your transfer.
Yes, you will have to pay sales tax if you purchase through an FFL. WA does not charge for the background check.
Oregon actually has an exception to the state-level preemption, allowing cities or counties to adopt ordinances regulating, restricting or possessing loaded firearms in public places. ORS 166.173(1). Subsection (2) prevents such ordinances from applying to certain classes, including those holding valid CHLs.The fix for this problem is State-level Preemption: No subordinate jurisdiction may ordain anything more strict than state law. Washington & Oregon both have this. I don't know where to find Oregon's, but here is the link to Washington RCW: RCW 9.41.290: State preemption.
Not under federal law, if you're talking about a FTF transfer. You can loan a firearm to anyone not otherwise prohibited from possessing one, regardless of where you or they live. But you may only permanently transfer one to a resident of your state. See 18 U.S.C. § 922. You could do this through a Washington FFL, however.Does that mean that an OR resident (non FFL) can buy a gun (rifle/shotgun/pistol) from a WA resident (non FFL) at a gun show in WA and bring it back to OR ... or vise versa? or did I misunderstand something?
I am currently working on a deal [handgun] with a guy in california. I am in oregon, as I understand it only one ffl has to be involved, the one on his end. correct? as long as I am on the up and up with the shipping co. [ups]
Absolutely not. The gun has to be shipped from FFL to FFL over state lines. If you were able to meet in person at that one FFL in his state, than you would only need to deal with that one, otherwise you need to use a FFL up here.
tried to work a legal deal but with transfer fees, shipping, insurance, and the cost of the gun the deal is dead. the guy in cal. said transfer fees on his end were $150.00. that is pretty much a deal breaker right there.
I have a question about private firearm sale in WA state.
I am planing to sell a handgun locally, so I am going to check buyer's WA issued DL and CCW permit.
Do I need to write down his information just in case? (such as full name/address/phone number/DL number/ CCW permit number)
