Title: I-1639 training cert question
Post by: full choke on August 21, 2020, 09:06:34 AM: Has anyone used the online certification from Sporting Systems for compliance with I-1639 when purchasing a scary black rifle? I am purchasing one from a friend, and am curious if this certification is all I will need? Thanks for any info.

You are not required to show proof of training when purchasing a semi-automatic rifle, only attest under penalty of law that you have completed a course which covers the required topics.

Technically yes, this is all the certification you need besides the background check.

Why only an AR? Aren't all semi-automatic rifles the same under this new law? Such as a Ruger 10/22?

Coworker mentioned doing the transfer at Federal Way Discount Guns, and after looking at their web page they have a link to the Sporting System certification so I think I am good to go.

Probably depends on the store. I have purchased and had to show no proof.

:yeah: :yeah:

Different stores have different policies. Bi-Mart in East Wenatchee will not let you look at a gun (any gun) if you do not have proof.....I watched it with my own eyes :bash: :bash:. Other stores will not ask for it and do not care about it. If they do, they will ask you to attest that you completed a course. it is a complete cluster, exactly what our liberal communist government wanted. Another layer of stupid and frustration to keep people from purchasing firearms. :bash: :bash: :bash:
