[WSBAPT] Transfer of Revolver - Best Practice?

[Tom Westbrook]

Tim, without commenting on the Oregon vs. Washington similarities, I have
found Cabela’s to be most helpful in taking possession and transferring to
another dealer.



Sincerely,



Tom

Would appreciate any thoughts on best practices here:



I have a probate where decedent left a .38 Smith & Wesson revolver to his
grandson, who resides in Oregon. From my review of RCW 9.41.113(4) it seems
that the transfer would be exempt from needing to be transferred through a
firearms dealer. However, while it looks like Oregon has a similar statute
(ORS 166.435) that would also exempt the transfer—I’m wondering if I’m
missing something? Also, thoughts on best practices for making the
transfer, PR does not want to drive to Oregon to hand deliver. Should
firearm be shipped to a dealer near beneficiary in Oregon?



Thanks in advance.



Tim
