Bullet Points. Can Your Spouse Carry One of Your Firearms?
This video clarifies Washington State law regarding firearm transfers between immediate family members. It explains that under RCW 9.41.113(4), loans or gifts of firearms to spouses, domestic partners, parents, children, siblings, grandparents, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, first cousins, aunts, and uncles do not require a background check, provided the transferor believes the recipient is legally allowed to possess a firearm. However, for actual sales, an FFL transfer with a background check is recommended.
