I have a pistol for sale in the Portland, Oregon area. I've had inquiries from Washington residents and I'm not exactly clear how to properly transfer the gun, if I can at all.
Do I have to ship through an OR FFL to a WA FFL, or may I simply ship the pistol to a WA FFL directly and have them handle the transfer. I'm not clear on how to properly conduct this with a Washington resident and if I have to first transfer out of my possession in Oregon and then ship to Washington for the another transfer transaction, it quickly becomes needlessly expensive.
Also, Oregon shops are telling me that they cannot "sell" a handgun to a Washington resident. Am I in the same boat as the Oregon dealer in the regard that I too am not allowed to sell a handgun to a Washington resident?
If anyone knows what to do and can provide me proper reference for verification, it would be much appreciated. I've bought several firearms from out of state folks on Gunbroker, so what am I missing here?
