Title: FFL preferences or warnings in Olympia or south Sound area?
Post by: netcoyote on June 11, 2025, 01:25:50 PM
Looking to sell off some of my inventory and need to go through a competent, reliable FFL in the south Sound area. Closer to Olympia would be preference. Already dealt with a few that were less than positive experiences.
Any suggestions?

Steve is still around but I believe he's out of the ffl business. I'd check with East County guns. Very very few guys still doing transfers.

Steilacoom Armory without a doubt.

That’s a shame. Did a few transfers and shipments with Steve. Best FFL I ever dealt with.

Here’s the AI synopsis
“  HB 2118, a bill passed in Washington state, aims to enhance gun safety by imposing stricter requirements on licensed firearms dealers. It mandates security measures like audio/video surveillance, secure storage of firearms, and annual employee background checks.
Here's a more detailed breakdown of what HB 2118 does:
Mandatory Security Measures:
Dealers are required to install audio and video surveillance systems, store firearms in safes or vaults, and ensure doors and windows have bars, grates, security screens, or commercial-grade metal doors.
Security System Requirements:
The digital security system must include motion and sound detectors, record all business transactions, operate 24 hours a day, and have limited access to the recordings.
Employee Background Checks:
Annual background checks on employees are required, and employees must be 21 years of age or older to sell firearms.
Liability Insurance:
Dealers must carry at least $1 million in liability coverage per incident.
Record Keeping:
Dealers are required to keep records of every pistol or semi-automatic assault rifle sold, including details of the purchaser.
Reporting Requirements:
Dealers must notify law enforcement of any lost, stolen, or unlawfully transferred firearms or ammunition.
Exemptions:
Dealers with average monthly sales of $1,000 or less are exempt from some requirements, such as certification to licensing authorities and security measures”

This will ruin the little guys that do it more as a service than a business and it won't stop criminals from getting guns if they want them just governors power play

Try Glacier Gun Club in Olympia, I have had great success with them.  I like Renegade Guns in Shelton also.
