People don't want an electronic trail of evidence...

Don't fool yourself. Guns are changing hands like crazy right now. There is an iron river flowing, especially from grandparents/parents to their progeny, or between close friends who've known each other for a long time. Prove that I gave X to someone after 12/4/14.

We agree on that and I agree the conflict between federal and state law should be resolved.

Federal law doesn't prohibit a 20 year old possessing a gun, so it is ridiculous that an FFL can't transfer a handgun to them (after a background check).

This why WA lost it's reciprocity with FL. FL allows active duty military over 18 to buy handguns, (everybody else 21), WA disagreed with that provision for active duty military, and revoked FL reciprocity, then FL revoked reciprocity for WA.....

I think FL approach was valid, if you are active duty in the military you should not be subject the the 21YO rule.

Did you know that at the PX you have to be over 21 to buy any ammo, or any gun to include rifles?

Everyone here is more than welcome to "Call on Me" and I'll be more than happy to share with you how I comply with I-594...or you can just read pages 7 and 8 of my post replies here http://waguns.org/viewtopic.php?f=114&t=49829&start=90

And for Marine3%er (and our female WaGunners)...I know I-594 has stressed you out so this video is dedicated to you Devil Dog.

You can "Call on Me" to comply the best that I can with I-594....just short of using a FFL Dealer until the DOL/State of Washington puts a $2 limit on what FFL Dealers can charge on "Private transfers" just like the maximum dealers can charge when you buy a hunting/fishing license as listed below.

MAXIMUM DEALER FEES
Dealer fee totals may vary depending on the number of license products purchased together.
Dealer fees listed below are the maximum per product.

License Documents & Discover Pass $2.00
Charter Stamps $2.00
Columbia River Salmon/Steelhead Endorsement $0.50
One-day Discover Pass $0.50
Two-pole Endorsement $0.50
Transport Tag $0.50
Catch Record Card $0.50
Special Hunt Permit Application $0.50
Specialized Licenses-Commercial $2.00
Multiple Season Permit Application $0.50

Or yet even better...The DOL should have a free web site or a local 360-555-555 phone number for the general public to use 24/7 where all you do is type in (or key in via telephone) your CPL number xxxxxxxxxx and hit "enter" (or press the # key via telephone) and it simply says either "Active" or "Inactive".

Active CPL you are good to go. Inactive CPL...I will not sell to you.
If you don't have a CPL then you must go through a FFL Dealer and pay your $2 fee.

Or just have Bloomberg/Washington Ceasefire pay for everyone's FFL Dealer "Private Transfer" Fees.

I hate the idea of telling a business what they can charge for their services. It's one thing to tell someone how much they can charge for your product (similar to MAP), but it's another to tell them they have a limit on what they can charge for their service. Price fixing is about as anti-American as it comes.

I don't like Obamacare telling me I have to buy insurance from a private company. I also don't like I594 telling me I have to buy a service from dealer. But I certainly don't like that dealers might not want to bother selling that service anymore because they don't like the pricing structure mandated to them.

I hate it too, but a lot of people will take advantage of a bad situation and everyone will be price gouging...which is why the government has restrictions.

Which doesn't matter since we're not complying anyway lol. Let the businesses eat shit and lose customers if they want to gouge.

WA didn't just wake up and arbitrarily decide that, it is codified law in WA. The AG has no discretion here.

Yes, this was one of my main issues with HB 1588, as well as the crazy parallel process with big LE burden.

I agree with this, it would be great. And they could give you some confirmation number that you can write down to prove you checked at that date/time.

The CPL is the closest thing we have to a good guy card. We can determine if someone's credit card is good with a swipe, why not the CPL?

My issue is not with me complying with 594 or being stressed about it . Im good with showing CPL's and on my way but I have a few deals where the people only wanted to do it if we were not going to go through a FFL. My out look on it is I'm not going to help the state do their back door registries. If I'm going to fill out paper work I will buy new . To bad to had to pass on some good deals

Sounds legit.

I would seem legit to someone like you

That's not in any way exclusive of what TW said. I think it's funny a lot of gun control groups are using the above quote in the erroneous belief the court is ruling on their side, when it really just means we have to wait for someone to be charged before the law can actually be challenged.



It's an unfortunate technical matter really, but the lack of any charges just shows how either law enforcement doesn't care to enforce existing laws, or how useless 594 has been. The aftermath of shootings just have them asking for more laws, and afterwards when those laws have also done nothing, they will ask for more laws.
