We have been hearing rumors that bill(s) were coming and I was waiting until they were officially introduced. Besides the obvious (criminals don't follow laws) I am disturbed by how these new laws are proposed with complete disregard for existing laws. It's like the legislators don't know the current law and don't care to even look it up.
The WA State waiting period exempts concealed pistol license (CPL) holders since they have already been fingerprinted and background checked. However, this new bill has no exemption on private sales. So, if this passes - no wait for guns bought from a gun shop (owned by the gunshop), but a wait would be required for private sales which would have to go through the same dealer?
