I don't know how this even works, but my transfer I did in Everett as a Pierce resident just went through, while the one I did a day before at Mary's here local still hasn't gotten the proceed yet

It's been so inconsistent. I bought a pistol in Puyallup end of September and had it in hand mid October(about 3 weeks). A week later bought a pistol in Tacoma(where I live) and still no proceed, had to refile last week.

I just buy at stores that will give the firearm at 10 days

RCW 9.41.092: Licensed dealer deliveries—Background checks. (<i>Effective until January 1, 2024.</i>)

My shop where they know said they would. However, when I called on the 10th day they said they had gotten a hold from sound911, therefore couldn't let me take it

I asked the pawn shop I transfered through about this and they told me since 1639 they were'nt allowed to release it until the background check came back, judging by this RCW they're wrong? @Sporting Systems?

Handgun

Handgun

Interesting I was under the impression they were not supposed to delay past ten days unless you haven't been a resident for 90 days

It's very frustrating, some of us are getting proceeds within weeks and others months. I think it's clear they have no organization in how they're doing these background checks.

I live in king county and my proceed always comes on day 10 at 430. I have had about 8 checks since July.

Hire more clerks, for a larger bureaucracy, and a larger tax bill to pay for them. Leviathan must be fed.

52 days, got the proceed today.

Nice! Bet that's a relief

 

[djharteloo]

So get this. Just got the call for the proceed on a handgun I bought about a week and a half ago, still nothing on the one from 21 days ago. Riddle me that

Same ffl?

 

[djharteloo]

same ffl. They said they would contact the sheriffs office tomorrow and see if they can just release the first pistol to me since they released the second one

Mine FINALLY came through today. About 5 weeks and 2 filings

Tomorrow is day 50. Numerous filings, still no response from Pierce county.

At this point I would be asking about a refund. Dealer of course does not have to do so but I would be wanting to try another. Do you have a WA CPL? If not I would go and get one. Even if you have no desire to carry. After you get that, then go to another shop. Show them you passed the checks, explain what happened. Ask, "so if I buy from you, can I have the gun at the end of the 10 Buis. days?" Some dealers will do this, some will not. Mine did me last time because they know us. My CLEO is the Pierce County Sheriff. I don't know how long it took them to finally give the shop a proceed.
So even if the shop will not refund your money use this as a learning experience. Next time ask first before putting the cash down. Sadly this is just the way it is for now. Unless voters decide to turn up the heat and make the law makers set up an insta check again this is what we have to look forward to.

Great. Did not see this before I responded earlier. At this point I would be looking for a new shop to deal with. This is just insane.
