Private sales in WA???

A copy also goes to your police chief or sheriff. Wonder what they do with it.

I don't see how long gun numbers would be coming up as there is no state form for them.

This one is baffling me, I wonder if Bill Elfo will let me in on this. Or if mine was in there for some other reason.

Maybe Fed's are freely sharing the paperwork you fill out at the time of purchase.

I wonder if this is a local edict from the Sheriff and/or police chief that long gun sales be forwarded to them also?

I wonder if I fill out an incomplete 'transfer form' and label the purchaser 'John Doe' if they'll be dumb enough to enter it..



They can put out 'John Doe' warrants, why not 'John Doe' transfers?

It'd get it out of my name, hehe...



Further, the only thing I do when I buy FTF is run the serial to make sure it's not stolen, and get a bill of sale, even if it's just a quick sentence saying I'm paying XYZ for ABC gun with serial #123 on this date.




ETA: When i was stopped (illegally) in PCO, the pistol I had purchased hadn't been updated in DOL, still came back to the previous owner.. The officer threatened to 'keep it in protective custody' if I 'did it again' (open carrried) until he could confirm it wasn't stolen.



Some people just don't get it...:banghead:

I just ask nicely...

Technically they're not supposed to, so there's no guarantee they will..

The only issue I've run into is that not all police departments are '24 hours'.. Some are 911 only after business hours ...

Can the SELLER notify the state or LEO's that they no longer have a registered gun? Is there a form for that:question:

Yes, however both the seller AND the buyer must sign the form.

So what can I do if the buyer refuses to sign that. Please don't tell me not sell it to them. I just want to know what I can do to protect myself. I don't know what their going to do with the gun. Give it to a felon/friend, rob a bank, etc.? I don't want the LEOs at my door accusing me of murder or something cause the guns still reg in my name.

And whats to say that if I buy a gun, and the leo's decide to run the #'s, that the orig. owner isn't a jerk and accuses me of stealing it so he can rip me off?:banghead:
