I added extra spaces cuz me eyes ain't what they used to be...it looked like one long word...me being too lazy to actually read the teeny tiny print on me teeny tiny phone screen.... I'll ask this slowly so you can think about your answer. D-o Y-o-u u-n-d-e-r-s-t-a-n-d n-o-w?
OP you were politely told that NO you cannot receive a handgun in person outside your state of residence. You can purchase a handgun out of state or online, but you cannot take possession of it. You have to have it shipped(there is where the shipping comes in) to a FFL in your state for transfer.
As far as Washington statutes you ALSO said you did not want to pay the state sales tax. You brought it up to begin with.
As has been said many times here "If you do not like the answers, don't ask the questions".

Is someone forcing you to be here and engage? I have tried humor. I have tried to be concise. It seems there is one poster, dave1776, who is to focused on one subject and is unable to recognize that there are several layers of laws one must comply with to do what you want to do legally.But the question was not related to the tax! You morons kept bringing that up I can quote any number that are to stupid in here to first understand it was not about paying or not paying the tax it was about buying out of state and from the responses it isn't clear as some said yes some said no!
And no worries I am removing the bookmark for this forum and deleting any subscriptions for responses so I don't have to visit here again as every time a question is asked it seems some of you all want to be idiots rather then polite gun owners helping gun owners or curious to be owners!

Hi All
Quick question. I live in Washington state in Seattle and they have recently implemented a new tax on gun and ammo sales. So I honestly do not want to buy a gun in Seattle as it will just cost me more.
Now I am going on a trip in about 2 weeks to Montana where there is no sales tax.
Can I buy a handgun there even though living in Washington?
Secondly the trips about a 2 week trip on average how long does the average and normal background check take? As I assume I can not pick up the handgun until the background check is completed so if I can purchase there I would have to make sure I can get the background check finished before I return home so I can pick up the handgun on the return trip!
dave is quite a guy,,, seeya!
BTW,, in case he looks, or anybody else might wonder...
When a FFL in Washington receives a gun for BG check and transfer to you,
He is required by some relatively new Washington State Law to collect SALES TAX!
Thats right,, you are gonna pay sales tax, on your untaxed, out of state purchase....
Is this the sales tax on the fee the FFL is actually charging one to have the previously purchased firearm transferred to the new owner OR the total amount of the original sale Plus ffl transfer fees?

Sales taxes and Use taxes are state specific, as well as regional and local/transit taxes, as spelled out by State Legislature/Constitution. You also have interstate participation in pacts regarding jurisdiction of Sales/Use Taxes on Internet purchases.
The WA State Comptroller (or the KY Comptroller reciprocating w WA) typically would audit shipments from a Seller - say Buds - and track WA state purchases/shipments, rather than go after individuals, you would then send letters/notice to WA state residents.
