First time posting and figured hopefully some one would help me figure out if what happend today was legit. I just recently moved back to WA after being stationed in GA for the last few years. I went to the local sporting goods store looking to buy a new handgun, I hand them my vaild WA drivers licence and CCP and beguin the paperwork, I come to the part where it asks how long I been living in my house and I ask what to put since I only been there for 6 days. The clerk suddenly closes the gun case and says he cannot sell to me because I'm not a state residents. Even with a vaild WA drivers licence that doesnt make me a state resident? The most infuriating part was the clerk then called for anther employee to act as back up to just tell me over and over "im sorry we cant sell to you" I asked which rcw covers that and they just got defensive and treated me like a criminal, even refused to sell a firearm to my father who was with me. Ive read through a lot of R.C.W. 9.41 and the only thing I saw closely covering it was 9.41.090. Which to me only said a vaild DL or 90 residents. Sorry for the long post and hope some one can maybe clear this up for me, thanks.
