All, please forgive Dave. He and I both live in WA state, which is probably 2nd only to California and NY when it comes to onerous firearms laws and prohibitions. It can make anyone a little nervous.
I recently had an issue with a firearm that my brother-in-law wanted to purchase from my father. Problem is, my father lives in another state. In order to to legally purchase it, they would have to go with the FFL transfers, interstate paperwork, background checks, etc, etc. By the time you add up all the time and extra costs and fees, it made the cost of the sale untenable.
