OK, but that is for pistols. You said ALL private sales, how does it apply to all?

Ok, I said all private sales records that have the third copy sent to Olympia by the dealer will be stored with the director of licensing. You need to go back and read post #5 again in it's entirety. I even qualified what I was saying towards the end with "Every PISTOL transfer will now be registered to the owner, including type and serial number" Sorry if the post wasn't clear enough for you. I am just a hillbilly living out here in the sticks that got ahold of a computer.

So, the language of the bill is quite murky already. It rambles from specifically "pistol" to generally "weapon". Weapon is a very broad, general term, applied from a hay fork to a golf club, anything that can be used as a weapon. Unless there is language written into the bill that specifically states something like: "Hereafter, the term "weapon" shall apply to pistols and revolvers only, center fire or rim fire, not to shoulder held long arms".
Looks like a lot of latitude for lawyers and judges to hash this out.
