Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

Use the form, put it in an envelope and mail it to your self, registered mail. When it arrives, do not open it. You now have proof, with a date and certification by the USPS, without letting the state know about it. Use BLUE ink, as it will always copy as black. This will prove to be an original.

PLEASE READ THIS AGAIN. With this method, the form is in your personal possession and available if and when you should need it. The blue ink and the sealed dated envelope prove this is an original signature and the date of the form being "REGISTERED" via the postal service. The courts recognize judicial notice that the form was execcuted and delivered in a specified time frame.

Just down load the BLANK form and fill it out when you sell a firearm

Agreed...

BTW, did you know that there is, and has been for quite a while, a form for voluntarily recording private sales of handguns?

"This form may be voluntarily submitted by the seller or transferor to report the sale,transfer of ownership, loss, or other disposition of a pistol or revolver (RCW 9.41)."

Yes, have known about this form for some time. Thanks for bringing it up.
