Support i-1094 (i-1639 Repeal)
(1/1/20) Sadly, this repeal fell short by about 120K signatures. However, this was HUGE for us! This was done without paid signature gathers and ZERO media involvement. Media was contacted but ignored at every angle.

important i-1639 information
Firearms Transfer Application
This is the form to use when doing a transfer. This is also used by most LEO for pawn redemptions as well. Just add "*pawn redemption" to the right of the SAR or PTA spots.
HINT: Fill out your store information under section B then SAVE it as a copy on your desktop. When filling this out for customers, your store info will then be saved and you can skip that step. Once you've filled out the customer information and print it out, close that FTA. When prompted to save, click NO.

dol faqs specific to pawnbrokers july 1, 2019
From Department of Licensing, Firearms Section
Q. How do I handle a firearm redemption for a pistol after July 1?
A. Contact your local law enforcement agency. Direct questions to NICS Business Relations Team at NICSliaison@FBI.gov. DOL doesn’t have authority to collect and maintain records of firearms redemption. If redeeming a SAR no fee is collected either.
Q. How do I handle this if the firearm is a semiautomatic assault rifle redemption after July 1?
A. DOL doesn’t have authority for the background check process. Contact your local law enforcement agency or NICSliaison@FBI.gov . You do not collect the $18 SAR fee or submit the SAR Firearm Transfer Application form.
Q. When submitting a background check to NICs or LEA for a pistol or SAR, may I combine them?
A. DOL does not have authority for this question. Please contact NICS or your local law enforcement agency for details.
Q. How do we complete background checks for receivers or frames?
A. Please review the recent letter sent out by the FBI/NICS which explains the background check process for the “Other” categorized firearm parts. Contact your local law enforcement. DOL is not involved in the background check process.
Q. If a customer wants to purchase a semiautomatic assault rifle, how do I proceed?
A. Review Revised Code of Washington (RCW) 9.41.090 goes into effect July 1, 2019. All information applies to you as a pawn broker as a licensed federal firearm dealer. If you do not have an FFL you are not allowed to sell, purchase, or transfer firearms in Washington State.
Q. If a customer is redeeming their SAR and it is after July 1, do they need to provide certification of training?
A. Contact your local law enforcement agency for information prior to releasing their SAR. RCW 9.41.090(2) discusses the certificate of training that is required on the purchase of a SAR.
Q. How much is the SAR fee?
A. $18 made payable to Department of Licensing. Attach the fee to the application for a purchased or transferred SAR. You may supply DOL with the check from the customer, provide a check from your establishment. Whichever you determine as your best business practice. This is per WAC 308-500-010.
Q. Does the 10 day waiting period still apply for a redeemed firearm?
A. Contact your local law enforcement agency as DOL does not have any authority over this process.
Q. As a pawn broker do I need to display the Warning poster and provide handouts to my customers?
A. Yes. All FFLs need to have the poster visible to their customers and provide the Warning handout to customers purchasing a firearm. In accordance with RCW 9.41.365.
