and what will the charge be for this transaction......?

according to that RCW the State has jurisdiction on tribal lands? What about the casinos and tax free liquor & cigarette sales???

That was a special deal set up with former Gov. Gregwhore.

Guess it's time to start having "swap meets" on city sidewalks....

I like the Seattle Outdoor Gun Show....

we all meet up before hand to swap a firearm with each other. Then we stand in front of city hall to swap them back.

BINGO.....

Remember.....they did not say that you can't do a trade within the city limits of Tacoma.

They did however say that when a venue is rented that is controlled by the City of Tacoma, they will not rent to the individual or group unless they follow the rules for the venue (ie private property) which in this case would require some type of background checks.

I have stated for years that ALL gunshow promoters should adopt a membership system that requires at least some sort of an initial background check.

The difference is that I would like to see ALL promoters get together and agree to recognize the other promoter's "membership badge"

This would eliminate the need to belong to multiple "gunshows/organizations".

Will it ever happen.....probably not.

If a system like this was in place, maybe the Tacoma Dome shows would be able to continue and avoid the current City Council actions.

AND NO......I am not promoting WAC or any other specific group and/or promoter.

Just an idea that I have been spouting about for years....just my .02.

So does this mean that the wac shows will now be at the tacoma dome?

Wes Knodel was quoted as saying the new rule was not needed and invasive but that he would follow their rules.
ie he wants the $$$.

3rd Party aka WAC
I forsee WAC stepping and saying, "We'll do the BGC for a fee, and then you will know that that person has passed."

To which I would respond, "I have a valid State issued CPL. I don't need another BGC."

Getting in/out of the car is a hassle for me - can we do some sort of 'drive by' meet (one car's driver-side door next to another car's driver-side door - like cops on break)?

Or maybe moonlighting Sonic hamburger car hops on roller skates going from car to car? "I'd like five boxes of MiniMags and a double cheeseburger basket with a Mountain Dew . . . ."

A question about WAC BGC... Is it done only when you get membership? Is it required to renew it every year? It seems they tout that they do BGC on every sale, but they don't do they? Also if they don't require the background check each year, couldn't you enter a state where you might not pass and still buy a weapon years after you cleared?

To be a member, it's done when you join.
If you already have a CPL then they copy down the info.
To renew, I don't remember.
If you buy from an FFL guy that requires a 4473, well you know.
You have a badge and Steve walks up and wants to sell you something, you pay him & he gives you your new toy and you walk.

You are all over analyzing this issue

Just remember the most important thing about this whole discussion.....

PERCEPTION IS IN MANY CASES MORE POWERFUL THAN REALITY.

I think this one fits that saying perfectly....especially in dealing with the Tacoma situation.

I paid $53.25 for my membership badge. It was issued by the State of Washington and included a background check with fingerprints. That should be all that is needed, at most.
