Gun transfer laws regarding relatives?

[Bob33]

Not to hijack the thread, but in section 4 B what is an antique firearm considered?

(1) "Antique firearm" means a firearm or replica of a firearm not designed or redesigned for using rim fire or conventional center fire ignition with fixed ammunition and manufactured in or before 1898, including any matchlock, flintlock, percussion cap, or similar type of ignition system and also any firearm using fixed ammunition manufactured in or before 1898, for which ammunition is no longer manufactured in the United States and is not readily available in the ordinary

 Don't forget the items are subject to tax.

If we just lived in Arkansas we could transfer to anyone.

Thanks for all of the info guys. So my dad lives in Oregon and I live in Washington and he wants to give me all of his firearms, it looks like it can be done without any paperwork. Am I correct in my thinking this?

It shouldn’t matter where your dad lives or how long he’s owned the firearms, according to the rcw he can give you his guns with no transfers needed.

If the new laws pass I’m not sure what will happen to this if you are transferring something that will now be considered an assault rifle.

The RCW may not be the operative statute in this case, there may be superceding Federal laws

Can someone help me with gun transfer laws regarding transfer between relatives?

If your dad is OR resident and you are a WA, you have a couple options based on what firearms he is giving you. We'll stick with pistols and long-guns for now.

If your dad is giving you his pistols, they will need to be transferred to you by an FFL in WA.
If your dad is giving you his long-guns, they can be transferred to you by an FFL in Oregon or WA.
If you both decide to transfer all the firearms at one time at an FFL in WA, the FFL will not be required to collect Use Tax from you.
If your dad has an FFL send them to another FFL in WA, the FFL in WA will be required to collect Use Tax from you.

Or, they're already yours, and you just drive to Oregon and pick them up. I sure wouldn't get any government entity involved.

Once they cross state lines, the WA WAC's don't apply anymore. I did this several years ago. After a call the ATF for clarification, I had to transfer them all through an FFL holder. I didn't look into ways around the law as my grandmother was involved and I didn't want to potentially subject either of us to any legal issues.
