HEADS UP IF YOU ARE BUYING A GUN OUT OF STATE!!!!!!!!!

[Curly]

I've got like 15 guns to get sent here to me from my dad in NY...i'm in for gas, Sux.

I would think you'd get out of paying the tax just by saying you didn't purchase the guns......you are just having them shipped.

My father-in-law sent 2 guns to me a few weeks ago and I had to have an FFL do the "transfer".  It isn't even a transfer of ownership because I'm just holding the guns for him while he is going thru some issues.  I paid twenty bucks for each of the guns for the transfer and the dealer didn't about a sale price or collecting tax on the transaction.

 :)Look it up if you want the facts on the sales tax, it passed, I think 2 years ago, but was not put into effect due to problems, it is called SST 'streamlined sales tax"
the state is losing out on tax due to internet shopping so they want thier cut. how ever they make it work, it does not matter where you buy(this is how it is now) it matters where the product is delivered.  If you buy a car in Seattle and live in Centralia you save due to a lower tx, and vice-a-versa. If you buy outastate via the internet the vendor is supposed to charge you local tax rate. I bet they can figure out how to track it.

It aint just guns folks, I was amazed no one screamed about this, a lot of small cities with lots of car lots, are losing a lot of money over this.

jack, the law exempts the transfer fee itself from tax, but requires it on the gun/s. it is obvious they aretrying to collect sales tax. silly me, I thought once an item was sold it was to remain taxless untill it neeed to be licensed or sold by a dealer......apparently not. pretty soon we will all have to collect tax on all goods and services and pay the man.........I mean, woman.
