No, the transfer of firearms between private citizens DOES NOT and NEVER HAS required a background check.
It’s a 120 mile drive for me to get to Olympia, fighting Seattle and Tacoma traffic, so I stayed home. I’d like to see rallies held in front of all the 39 county courthouses on Jan. 15th, not just Olympia. I’d bet a lot more would turn out.
How about it, Washingtonians?
How do you expect to make the evening news if you refuse to loot stores and hurt people?
According to more than just a few “conservatives,” they should have been “eric garnered.” After all, “a law is a law.”
Ah yes, the New York police, those ever vigilant protectors of individual freedom.
As I understand it, at prior Washington State gun shows, there were plenty of private parties selling firearms from their own collection from tables inside the events, incidentally to their hobby, not as a business.
Not correct.
Private transfers do not require a background check - except, apparently, in Washington State.
This is a Washington State law, though.
How can you carry a weapon when it is locked up?
Ya, outstanding. This is only the first ‘shot’. You can bet the police will follow up. Im interested to see how that plays out.
“Transfers” must now go through a Federally Licensed Dealer, and background check performed.
So, if I hand my gun to a friend in the woods, we’re both felons.
It got to be basically back door gun control. Businesses, manufacturing facilites, Southern Co., Bowwater, Hospitals, etc. would prohibit firearms on their property. If you were working there then you were basically disarmed as you couldn’t park your car on their property if you had a weapon in the car. The law say’s that they cannot prohibit the weapon in the car as long as it was out of sight and the car was locked.
You would be correct, but that is done at every gun show I have attended. We have one of the largest here in Indianapolis with plenty of "private collections." Some of those people are selling personal weapons but many are skirting the law by buying and selling guns for profit. I know one seller was arrested after several convention appearances caught the attention of the ATF.
Selling without a FFL Type 1 license is difficult to prove by the ATF so many people roll the dice because they won't be the one that gets caught.
But every FFL runs a background check or they won't be in business for very long. The ATF does periodically check the books.
“Private transfers do not require a background check - except, apparently, in Washington State.”
You can add California, New York, Connecticut, and the rest of the nanny states to that list.
Over 1000 people protesting?
OMG! Board up your stores! Call the national guard!
Where’s Jesse and them?
Let the police have overtime pay. OMG Another Ferguson again!
huh? What? mostly white people? Oooh, nevermind, they will not hurt anything. They will not loot or steal or burn down their own stores. They are civilized humans, false alarm.
“Hands up. I can’t breathe! Don’t shoot.”
Screw those drama queens.
Exhale, just before heartbeat, gently squeeze trigger.
No ones going to know about it or care about it or prosecute it and the sheriffs have said as much.
ones=one’s contraction
Until you offend the powers that be, and then it is a felony available to use against any gun owner for selective prosecution / persecution.
