Wait Period

[Blacktail Sniper]

Just purchased a Remington 700 in 300 win from Sportman warehouse few days ago and had no problem at all with transaction.
Checked my name,payed.And i was on my way

That is a rifle, this is about waiting period/ background checks on handguns, whole different breed of cat.

Section "B" appears to address the local law enforcement's role in the background check for handgun purchases:

http://app.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=9.41.090


(b) The dealer is notified in writing by the chief of police or the sheriff of the jurisdiction in which the purchaser resides that the purchaser is eligible to possess a pistol under RCW 9.41.040 and that the application to purchase is approved by the chief of police or sheriff; or

Although "C" seems to imply that it can be released at the end of all hold periods if they do not reply...kinda looks like' no news is good news??

(c) The requirements or time periods in RCW 9.41.092 have been satisfied.

Sportsman Warehouse policy does not recognize the 10 working days segment.  They will not release until they get back the LE release.  I asked them about that and they said admittedly most other stores do, but they don't.  Something to keep in mind when dealing with them.

That is very good info to know, especially for those without CWP and may fall into the same hole you did.

Well, now I know where not to buy a gun.

Seems there should be more discounted for your troubles.

In the last year I bought atlest twenty-five handguns from dealers that had to go through the NICS check, Immediately after the "PROCEED" from the FBI I paid & brought home the handgun. I do have a CPL. You fill out the paperwork that gets sent in to your local law enforcement and they send that in.
This is something that sounds off beat. If that's the way they sell handguns I can't see people willing to go through thier hassle when you can shop else where and buy your gun & take it home right with you if you have a CPLor right after the waiting period.

Get a CCP and that will prevent a delay usually. like it or not, firearms do not get into the hands of someone prohibited from owning as a result of their policy..

No it won't. I've had a cpl for years. Still get a delay every time. A cpl only lets you skip the waiting period and local stuff. It sounds like it also keeps firearms out of lawful citizens hands.

99% of criminals steal thier guns or buy them from thier drug dealers who get them from thier clients. The average criminal doesn't go to a store to buy a gun they intend to do crimes with.

If a lawful citizen gets delayed and he waits the legal amount of time and you still don't give it to him then you are keeping the gun out of a lawful citizen's hands. Even the law says you can give it to him so therefore your company is choosing to do this on their own.

Not my company, but, as posted up a few comments, it is Sportsmans choice yes..

I'd wager it's their policy because it's more important to them to sell to legal gun owners slowly than it is to sell lots of guns fast.

Cheaper to lose a few sales than deal with one lawsuit.

I understand.Some people cant even do that with buying a long gun.
