Gun shows in Washington?

[deen_ad]

You have to be a WAC member to buy a firearm, and vendors (not private sellers) will charge sales tax.

And there is the problem with WAC...

you don't want to follow the law? Any legal business in WA is required to charge sales tax on items sold. If you buy from a private seller you're supposed to pay the use tax on the purchase at the local DOR office. Also, any FFL doing a transfer from out of state is required to charge the use tax on the purchase price, the shipping AND the transfer fee. If they aren't then they will have to pay it out of their funds when audited.
However, there are dealers out there the say they didn't sell the gun so they don't have to collect the tax, that cost Mike at Brightwater a buch of $$ when the DOR audited him,
