    Check your local requirements for private party purchase. The
    federal restriction/background check is on purchase from a
    licensed gun dealer (FFL). If he may legally possess a
    firearm in Washington state, he should purchase a firearm from
    a private party. No federal background check is required for
    purchase from a private party.
