Now I�ll be shocked when a news story like that actually gets the details right. It�s sad how little effort reporters spend on getting firearm related information correct. It�s not like that little detail is hard to find out.

Finding out facts takes time. Right now MSM thinks it better to be first rather than be accurate and detailed.

For the MSM, the facts just get in the way of the story.

In Washington you don’t even have to own any type of firearm to obtain a CPL; they don’t even ask. Absent a CPL, purchasing a pistol from a licenced dealer will require the same background check that getting a CPL requires — you just don’t have to give them the $55 and fingerprints that a CPL application requires. Private sales don’t require any notice to, or permission from, the state.

Not that there should be permits, waiting periods, or background checks to begin with…

If he had a CPL, he wouldnt have had to endure a waiting period.
