Hello Folks,

As subject states, I have a couple questions I am wondering about? I have my ATF interview in a couple days for a kitchen table FFL and these are about the only things I haven't found much clear information on.

1) I have one safe that I currently keep my weapons in. Do I need to get another safe/cabinet or will a secured room suffice? I have researched the heck out of this and have heard people say everything from a subterranean triple bio-metric vault at a minimum to tossing a blanket over the pile and putting a teddy bear in place to guard it.  I have read the ATF guidelines and I am pretty sure a secured room with security bars over the windows, a lock on the door, and a security sensor should be sufficient for the task.

2) As I understand, in WA state handguns are called in to the state and long guns go through NICS? Can anyone outline the actual method of accomplishing the state call in process cause I have not found it shown anywhere.

1) There is no requirement to have a safe. So the one safe you have is plenty.

2) Can;t help with 2.

I had my interview today. It went pretty well and now I am back in the holding pattern waiting for the license to come in so I can file for the state license.

same here just not in WA

Where in Washington are you?

I am in Tacoma area.

Cool bo99. I am hoping the IOI gets things pushed through as fast as the initial approval. I think it was about 30 days from the time I filed until I got the call to schedule the interview. I would like to be up and running in June if I can.

The Washington License is going to be your hold up. Another 30 on top of receiving your FFL

same here. i have been building a small customer base already.
