Title: Waiting period
Post by: follow maggie on September 12, 2024, 05:21:19 PM: A buddy that lives in Washington comes here to North Dakota every October to spend a week bird hunting. He wants to buy a shot gun while he’s here because the selection @ Scheel's dwarfs Sportsman’s Warehouse & Cabelas/Bass Pro. And all the guns are in racks on the floor to pick up & handle. Does your guys’ 10 day waiting period follow you to other states?

But I do not think a shop in Dakota will sell to him because.

I think the law says all firearm purchases must go through the WSP. I believe there was a shop in Idaho that would not sell to Washington residents.

I would call you local shop and see what they say. :dunno: :dunno:

https://app.leg.wa.gov/rcw/default.aspx?cite=9.41.122#:~:text=Residents%20of%20Washington%20may%20purchase,L.

So based on this I would guess no. Because the only way they confirm he can have a firearm in Washington is through the WSP. Which they probably don’t have access too.

:dunno:

They can regulate the import of the gun once the resident returns but the store isn’t violating any laws that I am aware of by selling the gun in their state if those laws allow the sale.
