Greetings! My first post here, though I have lurked for a while. I have some questions as to how exchanges take place, especially since the new WA laws regarding private sales. Sorry if this is stupid simple, but I've never transferred a firearm using an FFL go-between (in the past it was always a private sale and the last one I did was years ago). I did look for a FAQ page that might cover this stuff but didn't see anything.
So anyway, questions, questions ... How do the logistics usually work? If I'm a seller and have a buyer, I assume we both agree to meet at a gun shop to do the transfer? Does the buyer inspect the merchandise in the parking lot to make sure he wants to buy before we go into the gun shop? (Isn't the new WA law kinda weird about handling someone else's firearm?) Do we both walk in with the firearm and say we want to transfer ownership? Do they then do a NICS? If the buyer doesn't have a WA CCL, is there a waiting period? If so, what happens to the firearm in the meantime?
Thanks, again sorry for the questions but man I'm kinda lost about this stuff.
