I figured there is a wait. I'm wondering if it's 3, 5 or 10 days.
Are you sure about that? It sounds like you may be confusing the Federal check. They have a allotted time and then dealer is supposedly OK to release. I have never heard they changed that on the State level. If so when? During the great panic here in Pierce County it was taking a month or better.Depends on the county processing it. It only took two days in skamania county. I would say 3 to 5 days. The sheriffs office has 72 hours to process the paperwork for release.
I was just going to say that but I had to edit my other post lol I used to duck hunt with a KING COUNTY SHERIFF didn't need a CPL but had one anyway he told me it doesn't mean you will get your gun same dayA CPL is not a guarantee of same day service. I get delayed sometimes, other times I get the green light on the spot. I'm almost 50 and I don't mind waiting as much as I used to.
I did it about three months ago. They have 72 to release the firearm to the buyer. I had my sig from a private purchase at a ffl dealer and it was cleared in two days.
That's what I said above the FFL does not have to give it to you if they want they can wait until they hear back from the Fed and they can always say nope I will not sale you a gun at all if they think something if fishingAgain I think we are getting into people who forget there is state law and federal law. When you say "They have 72 to release the firearm to the buyer" who is "they"? Are you talking about the "federal insta check"? Unless something has recently changed that has nothing to do with WA state law. The law for WA state is the CLEO has to buy off if you do not have a CPL. If you have a CPL (this is a state card not federal) then that by passes the CLEO sign off. If you have a CPL then it's just a matter of getting the OK from the Federal insta check. Which if delayed the dealer MAY release the gun if they do not hear back after 72 hours and do NOT get a denied. Now again unless something has recently changed even on the Federal level there is no law that the FFL is required to give you the gun after 72 hours. If this has changed It would be great to see this in citation form, as in a link to the law that has recently changed. Again this is in WA State, and for hand guns.
That's what I said above the FFL does not have to give it to you if they want they can wait until they hear back from the Fed and they can always say nope I will not sale you a gun at all if they think something if fishing
I didn't know WA had a waiting period until I read it here. Surprised me so I did some more looking... some legal sites say 5 days.
Another one said this:
"While not a mandatory waiting period, Washington allows five days to complete a background check on a prospective handgun purchaser prior to delivery of the handgun. See Wash. Rev. Code Ann. § 9.41.090(1)"

That's the most recent info I could find.
