Title: PSA- 10 day waiting period-----PSA
Post by: MADMAX on December 05, 2023, 04:46:09 PM
”Background Checks and Other Firearm Sale and Ownership Requirements
Effective January 1, 2024, HB 1143 imposes additional requirements for the sale and transfer of firearms, including the following provisions:

Background checks are required for all firearm sales and transfers, with some limited exceptions including sales or transfers to law enforcement agencies and officers acting within the course and scope of their employment or official duties (RCW 9.41.113). Background checks are to be performed through the Washington State Patrol Firearms Background Check Program, a centralized stated system, rather than through local law enforcement agencies.
A 10-day waiting period is required between the purchase and delivery of the firearm to the purchaser.
The purchaser must provide proof of having completed a recognized firearm safety training program within the last five years.“


PSA Grays Harbor county gun stores are now following this new upcoming requirement, as part of a pilot program, as I was told by the employees, I drove 2 hrs to "East county guns" in Elma to do an FFL private party-firearms transfer
then I find out after the paperwork is done I cant take my new bolt action rifle home until they call me
2A infringed IMO
Holy BS batman

Yup, and after the first you have to go to school and get a piece of paper saying you went to school and are saying you are safe to own one.

The 10 day wait is not absolute.  WSP has 10 days to do a background check, but it could be done in an hour.....just depends on how busy / backed up they are.  Hooked on toys is doing the WSP background check and I had my bolt action rifle the same day.  I think it took 4 hours, give or take.  (this is at least how it has been explained to me)


The class thing is going to be interesting.  No one knows what that means, who puts the class on, who checks or regulates the class ect.  This could be a nightmare.   :bash: :bash:

You can do the training on Sporting Systems website just like the 1639 training. Skagit Arms is one of the stores that are already doing the background checks through WSP. They say it's been pretty smooth and most returns are the same day. That could change when all the stores have to start using it though.

Also does anyone know if I-1639 training certificates meet the this new training requirement?

The sporting systems certificate says it satisfies the requirements for HB1143 and i1639.

I heard some retailers volunteered or where chosen as a trial run before the Jan 1 date.
That's just what I heard,not sure what the truth is.
Yes anybody that has been on the fence about buying a firearm.
Might be the time.
I have friends and family that have been buying guns all year long cause of this.

Every FFL that is using it already did so voluntarily. 

I keep pointing out in my For Sale posts that the requirement to use the new system will soon be in effect and that I’m still using NICS as much as possible.

WSP will also be charging a fee for this...

It's smooth and quick for the handful of gun shops that are already doing it because the system isn't clogged up yet.  Wait til Jan 1 when every BiMart, Walmart, Sportsmans Warehouse, Pawn Shop and sporting goods retailer is forced into the system....

A couple of months ago I seem to remember something about a state back east that had this same law go into effect.  There was a suit brought against it and the judge ruled is unconstitutional!  I tried to find it, but  no luck, maybe someone could do better.  The 10 day was not ruled out just the getting the permit.  Also they had it setup so you had to take the class each time you purchased a firearm.

California had a law that was struck down by a federal judge that required an individual who wanted a CPL to take a safety training class similar to what Washington is requiring for a purchase of a firearm.

I think it is just a power move on their part so the new deal is the WSP is going to do the background check who do you think there going to call NICS  and as far as who is going to pay for it they made the law make the taxpayers pay for it that's how they fund all their other schemes. shouldn't be charged for a constitutional right .

All the state patrol is doing is a NICS and then charging you for it. Pretty stupid.

Oh and the democrats aren’t done yet, in the new legislative session they have already proposed making people take a class on firearms where you have to show your proficiency in live fire… Being proposed by Liz Berry a former aid to Gabby Giffords

HB 1902 will implement a permit to purchase system in Washington, which will require Washingtonians to receive government permission to exercise a constitutionally protected right. The system will require mandatory live fire training prior to purchasing a firearm and the creation of a government registry of personally identifiable information, including fingerprinting and a waiver of medically protected information.

HB 1903 will penalize law-abiding gun owners who are the victims of a crime by placing a civil liability and a $1,000 fine on gun owners who are the victim of theft and requires mandatory reporting of the theft or loss of a firearm within 24 hours to law enforcement

I talked to a lady that was working his reelection campaign the year he lost.  She kept getting earfuls whenever she was doing polling.  When he came to visit them, she asked him about the Brady Bill.  He just shook his head and said "If I'd known everything that was in that bill, I never would have voted for it."

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?  :o VOTED FOR IT?  YOU INTRODUCED IT!  AND YOU WERE SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE!   :yike: :yike:

Jay doesn't know what "Representative" government means!  Neither do the rest of them and its been that way for over a generation!

The next election Jay was at the Okanogan County Fair,  I see him inside the booth, started to go over to give him a piece of my mind, my wife grabbed my arm and said, "NO you don't"!

So the 10 days is not absolute!!   It is rather the max numbers of days they have to get it done before you can pick it up regardless.  Still sucks, but in theory it could happen same day if there isn’t a back log or influx.   Here’s to hoping they get a good system going and they are quicker than not.   

Still sucks, just trying to find a silver lining. 

This is going to hurt private party sales….im not driving across the state, just to return 10 days later when the check is complete.

I actually called the state patrol and asked what the holdup was and would it speed things up if I gave my concealed carry and retired military ID
Was told they’re doing the best they can as they are short handed

I said well I guess if nothing else I only had to wait 3 more days
Oh no she said
I said do you think I will get before Christmas
Lady told me no it could be up to 30 days and my FFL would let me know when I could pick it up
I guess the squeaky wheel worked

No more traveling for me on gun deals

Bumping the PSA. Just a few more days left to purchase any firearm before these new laws go into effect.

Effective January 1, 2024, HB 1143 imposes additional requirements for the sale and transfer of firearms, including the following provisions:

- Background checks are required for all firearm sales and transfers, with some limited exceptions including sales or transfers to law enforcement agencies and officers acting within the course and scope of their employment or official duties (RCW 9.41.113). Background checks are to be performed through the Washington State Patrol Firearms Background Check Program, a centralized stated system, rather than through local law enforcement agencies.

- A 10-day waiting period is required between the purchase and delivery of the firearm to the purchaser.

- The purchaser must provide proof of having completed a recognized firearm safety training program within the last five years.

Just because somebody voted a certain way for a certain reason doesn't make them an idiot. It just means you have different priorities than they do, or see things differently.

I GUARANTEE that anybody here doesn't have exactly the same take on every single issue that I do, but I don't think that makes any of all of you wrong, evil, or part of a larger conspiracy to ruin my life.  I really enjoy this group of folks for who they are and how they conduct themselves, no matter the color of their political stripe.

Let's keep it in on perspective, folks.  I believe Dale made it clear that yhis is a hunting forum, for the enjoyment of people who are passionate about hunting, no matter where they fall on the other issues.

I just wanted to make people aware that some gunshops are instituting the 10 day early
🥴
[/qupuppy. I appreciated the PSA sir. I'd forgotten this was coming so I scooped another volume shooter at the buzzer. Sadly it'll likely be my last firearms purchase in WA.

"According to timberfaller, you are a "west side idiot".......timberfaller and the eastsiders need extra time to determine your level of idiocy and whether you should own a firearm."

If the shoe fits, wear it!

Those who vote for D's and own firearms KNOW the shoe fits.  If they don't, they are dumber then a box of rocks.

Just to add to this regarding the 10 day wait.   I was told that it is a minimum of 10 business days and does not include weekends, holidays, or the day you fill out the paperwork.  Also, there is a 30 day window (one shop told me 30, another said 28) for the background to be completed and for you to pick up the gun or the whole process starts over.

I was recently told the same thing!!  I stand corrected on my previous post of the 10 days being absolute.  Really hope the WSP has the resources to keep this running.  Also hope this is challenged in court sooner than later.   :bash: :bash:

I’m seeing an average of 7 days for a proceed. At this point if you haven’t already started the 4473 your chances of getting a proceed before the new year are slim.

That’s about what the east county guns told me as well

It’ pretty much eliminates anybody wanting to be driving two hours away to do a gun deal

WA has the lowest law enforcement to population ratio in the USA, WSP has all the time in the world, no problem.  A cluster whether in the courts or on the street.

Just had a rifle come into my local FFL-guy from NJ on Thursday. We waited for 15-mins for the paperwork to clear, then I was approved. Unfortunately, the neighborhood FFL-guy is NOT re-upping his license! :bash:

Last month I drove to Corvalis-Or and bought a rifle through an FFL. They're already sending applications through OSP. At 10:45am I was #244 in the queue. I was approved @ 4:15pm, same day, but I was taking a chance it could run over to the next day. I could have had the gun shipped to WA, but I didn't want to pay any tax to King Insleaze (out of principal).

I too miss looking in the Little Nickel on Thursday mornings, seeing and ad and calling, and then meeting at "X-marks the spot"...

supposedly the new system has an $18 fee that goes along with the rest of the garbage. And that is what it's supposed to fund the WSP. Just another middleman doing the same thing that we had already done with an extra fee tacked on.

How do these new laws effect the purchase of firearms out of state? Do WA residents still need to follow WA rules when purchasing out of state?

According to the FFL but I use we can still purchase rifles and shotguns out of state just using the 4473 form that we normally have to fill out. Handguns on the other hand still have to be shipped into Washington and we will have to go through all of the garbage. We can also not purchase the firearms they'll Washington deems illegal. Aren't you happy that somebody has made this decision for you?

Yeah, so happy that people with emotional problems get to push them on us. I'm not going to call them idiots though. They know exactly what they are doing voting for clowns like Biden and Inslee. They are anti-gun, anti-hunting and anti-freedom zealots. It's really telling the true value they place on hunting and outdoor pursuits. Keyboard pretenders..

Not sure if anyone has experienced this or not but a FFL guy I know has had a hand full of wrongful denials the last month. Somewhere in the background end of things...

It took a bunch of extra work to sort out the issues and get guys approved. Guys that have had zero issues in the past...Just a heads up.

Apparently the compliance safety training for 1639 is not valid now and a new cert is required after 1-1-24 for 1143. My cert from 2023 was invalid for purchase. I didn’t realize it changed as it’s the 1st I heard about it. But this one is good for 5 years or until they make more Unconstitutional gun laws. No other Right needs certification.

Has a cop or game warden ever asked someone shooting if they have the permit. I mean u can still borrow guns for "hunting" and most people don't have the permit who already own said weapons.
