In Washington State, if a firearm purchase is denied due to ineligibility, the Federal Firearms Licensee (FFL) must report this denial to the Washington Association of Sheriffs and Police Chiefs within five days. This reporting is mandated by RCW 9.41.114. If a denied purchase is later approved, the FFL must report this subsequent approval within one day. A proposed amendment to RCW 9.41.114, contingent on the State Patrol's background system readiness, would shift the primary reporting duty to the State Patrol and ensure denied applicants receive notice of their right to appeal.

This video explains how a NICS denial or delay in firearm purchases can now lead to a visit from local law enforcement, effective October 1, 2022. This change, mandated by the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2022, requires the ATF to report all denied or delayed NICS transactions to local police within 24 hours. Washington state residents are less affected due to existing state laws, but the federal change significantly impacts FFLs and buyers nationwide.

This video discusses a case in Florida where an active-duty sailor was denied a firearm purchase due to a mistaken identity on a NICS check. Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody stated that proof or evidence is not required to prohibit a firearm purchase, which the speakers argue violates due process and Second Amendment rights. They encourage viewers to pressure elected officials and support gun rights organizations.
