<div dir="ltr">In addition to laws governing the <i>transfer</i>, there are qualifications for <i>possession </i>and ownership of firearms. Even if a background check is not required, the PR should not transfer the firearm to someone who is not legally permitted to possess it. In order for the PR to be assured that he/she is not transferring a gun to a prohibited person, I have recommended that the PR utilize a licensed dealer and a background check even when the transfer itself does not require - it as well as reviewing the requirements for firearm possession in Washington and the state where the beneficiary is located. <div><br clear="all"><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><p class="MsoNormal" style="background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-repeat:initial"><font color="#45818e" face="georgia, serif"><b>Laura Latta<br>Law Office of Laura Latta PLLC</b><u></u><u></u></font></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-repeat:initial"><font color="#666666" face="georgia, serif">she/her</font></p><p style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;line-height:13.15pt;background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-repeat:initial"><font face="georgia, serif"><span style="color:rgb(102,102,102)">Phone (206) 841-2344</span><br></font></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-repeat:initial"><font color="#666666" face="georgia, serif"><a href="http://www.LauraLatta.com" target="_blank">www.LauraLatta.com</a></font></p><p style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;line-height:13.15pt;background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-repeat:initial"><font color="#666666" face="georgia, serif">4010 Lake Washington Blvd. NE Ste. 202</font></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-repeat:initial"></p><p style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;line-height:13.15pt;background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-repeat:initial"><font color="#666666" face="georgia, serif">Kirkland, WA 98033</font></p><p class="MsoNormal"><font color="#134f5c"><u></u> </font><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><font color="#444444">NOTICE: This communication may contain privileged or other confidential information.

<p class="MsoNormal">Would appreciate any thoughts on best practices here:<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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?<u></u><u></u></p>
