Death in family, 594, FFl, gun transfers advice please

[luvmystang67]

There is not one question in my mind.  If you have a family tie as you've stated, there is no need for an FFL.  Make two layers of bona-fide gifts and call it over with.  This is legal per the law.  The state can cram it.  Don't give them any more than  you have to and you DO NOT have to do this.

Nobody has been tried under this law yet, probably partially because its damn near impossible to prove, but I think also prosecutors are afraid to touch it.

Regardless, a "double pass" through family should be no big deal.  There's nothing written in the law that could get you if this is your path.

Precise Shooter in Lynnwood is $25 per.

Good guy, too, for future reference.  Moved out of Seattle as a result of the anti-2A taxes.  Worthy of support.

Seakev on here is also great to work with. 

He is near seatac airport.

Yeah, the $100 per sounds a bit high.  One store I talked to said they did $40 per form, which was between one and five guns.

And off the internet.

Just say it was gifted, screw the law!

What about the probate process?  Note to grandparents--give your guns to family sooner rather than later...

BTW anyone know of any of these FFL dealers in the Seattle area? I found one that charges 35 but they are a bit out of town

You might check with Outdoor Emporium. They had reasonable fees when 594 was first enacted.

Does the Seattle $25 tax per gun apply to transfers?

Pinto's Guns in Renton is another good choice. Great people and you can probably get a break on multiple guns.

I would not go through an FFL when it is a family transaction.

[magnanimous_j]

I wouldn't hesitate for a second to just take them. In the one in a billion chance you were ever asked about it, just say he gave them to you (or you bought them off him) before the law passed. Even if any of the guns were manufactured after 2014, I still doubt the cops would spend any effort going after you. 100 bucks a piece is robbery.

You're the last person I would take advice from regarding firearms
 

[ribka]

"(a) A transfer between immediate family members, which for this subsection shall be limited to spouses, domestic partners, parents, children, siblings, grandparents, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, first cousins, aunts, and uncles, that is a bona fide gift;"

I would see if this meets the definition of a gift according to the RCW before following advice on an open Forum here to possibly circumvent the law.

as mentioned $20 max to fill out the 4473's if required

good luck

all good suggestions, I found as low as 25 for FFL. But if I am gifted the firearm then that is a lot easier obviously
