Strange ffl experience. The bullet hole in Spokane valley

Just had a strange experience at an ffl for a transfer.
Went in with the rifle waited for the buyer the guy at the counter writes some stuff down and asks for my ID. When the buyer gets there hey run the check and it comes back delayed. So the buyer wants to cancel the sale and get his moneu back
I say ok I'll just take the gun and sell to someone else. The ffl guy tells me that as soon as I walked through that door with the gun to sell the shop now has possession and owns it and I would have to pay a transfer fee and go through a check to get my own gun back. He then says every check they have done the last few weeks has been delayed. So I would have to wait to get my own gun back.
Is this right? Should he have told me the info about them basically owning the gun as soon as I walk in with it?
The buyer decided to keep it and wait on the check but I wanted to check here also.

Also now I'm thinking that it's weird I never got a slip saying that I brought the gun in. What happens if he buyer check is denied? Does the ffl have to give my gun back to me? How can I prove i took it there?

Tell him to read the RCW (and don't do business there again.)
http://app.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=9.41.113
(3) Where neither party to a prospective firearms transaction is a licensed dealer, the parties to the transaction shall complete the sale or transfer through a licensed dealer as follows:
(a) The seller or transferor shall deliver the firearm to a licensed dealer to process the sale or transfer as if it is selling or transferring the firearm from its inventory to the purchaser or transferee, except that
the unlicensed seller or transferor may remove the firearm from the business premises of the licensed dealer while the background check is being conducted
. If the seller or transferor removes the firearm from the business premises of the licensed dealer while the background check is being conducted, the purchaser or transferee and the seller or transferor shall return to the business premises of the licensed dealer and the seller or transferor shall again deliver the firearm to the licensed dealer prior to completing the sale or transfer.

According to the Pawn Shop Owner where I have bought several guns your gun has to be in their possession 24 hours before it needs a background check for the original owner to reclaim it.
This was before I594 and I was offering it for sale or trade and he didn't want it for his shop but knew a guy who would be interested and offered to hold onto it and get ahold of said prospective buyer as long as it didn't end up being in his shop over 24 hrs.
It sounds s though this shop you're dealing with is looking to pad their fee intake.

Thanks bob. I have contacted the buyer to see what he wants to do.
Also to spread the work the shop is "the bullet hole llc" located on sprague street in Spokane valley.

Consider calling the feds on that for sure. Could be something going on that we don't know about. I saw there advertising the FFL outside their building if it is the one I noticed the other day that I think it is. Never noticed the sign before I think it was just put up.

The buyer said he just wants to leave it be until the bg check comes back. I think it's really his call at this point. I have the money. I did ask him to keep me posted and I'll help if something goes sideways.
But yes I will be avoiding that shop in the future and telling everyone my experiences.

He's a moron.
He can log it back out to you without a 4473 and with no wait.
Just another counter monkey making up his own rules.

I was thinking it wasn't right that they could just take my gun and not give it back. He essentially confiscated it...
I'll update this thread with the outcome. I told the buyer that I would help out and make sure we are both made whole at the end of it. Most of me wants to March in there tomorrow and demand the rifle back until the check is complete but the buyer wants to wait it out.
Thanks for the info.

I'd definitely avoid them in the future. I've never heard of them, until now at least. I've never done a private party transfer, but I have bought guns at multiple places in town and have always had good experiences at the double eagle pawn shops in the area. Also Bill down at Best Buy Surplus on E Sprague is a good guy and I'd highly recommend him as well.
