Question for FFL's on handgun purchase with CPL

Fri Nov 18, 2016 4:10 pm

If someone gets an "Open" on NICS check and the Brady date has came, when can you transfer the handgun? Read through the WA state laws and just wanted to verify with FFLs here.

I'm a FFL03 not 01, so take with a grain of salt.

Seeing as you have an open response, you're still waiting a response, then it would be para 2 here. (per state law)

http://app.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=9.41.092

"RCW 9.41.092
Licensed dealer deliveries—Background checks.
Except as otherwise provided in this chapter, a licensed dealer may not deliver any firearm to a purchaser or transferee until the earlier of:
(1) The results of all required background checks are known and the purchaser or transferee is not prohibited from owning or possessing a firearm under federal or state law; or
(2) Ten business days have elapsed from the date the licensed dealer requested the background check. However, for sales and transfers of pistols if the purchaser or transferee does not have a valid permanent Washington driver's license or state identification card or has not been a resident of the state for the previous consecutive ninety days, then the time period in this subsection shall be extended from ten business days to sixty days."

I agree with what ANZAC said and would add that the day count only happens on valid business days and does not include the day of submission. so in a M-W time frame, Submit on Monday, Tuesday starts timer. Tuesday two weeks later is the first day the transfer can take place.

it is up to your discression after 10 business days. they do come back be it the following day or 3 months. there is a section in the 4473 you check about no response. than you go back and fill the other section in when they get back to you however long it takes

The local ATF compliance agent told us relatively recently that it was ten business days. Because we have to follow state laws to be in compliance with federal regulations.
So presumably they've looked at it and still say it's ten days.
