Trying to help a family member who lives in Washington state and wants to move along an AR owned before the new laws came into effect.
He’s contacted multiple FFL dealers about selling to them or using them to ship to an out-of-state FFL where ARs are legal. None of them will help. All say they legally can’t because of HB1240.
I’ve read the law and along with grandfathering any AR owned before going into effect, it clearly states that any FFL dealer can purchase an AR from residents and resell out-of-state, or ship to an FFL in any state where legal to own.
What am I missing, and what are his options?
