Order online, pick up at a licensed dealer in Spokane County. Spokane lies on the Spokane River where the Columbia Plateau meets the forested foothills of the Idaho panhandle. With a population of about 230,000, it serves as the commercial hub for the Inland Northwest, and firearms ship to licensed FFL dealers across Spokane County.
Pick an FFL dealer near you that accepts shipped transfers and name it at checkout. We confirm their license and ship the firearm to them. Ammunition, optics and parts ship straight to your door where Washington law allows.
Washington enforces some of the strictest firearm purchase rules in the nation. A ten-day waiting period applies to all transfers, and the Washington State Patrol conducts state background checks. For semiautomatic rifles, buyers must be at least 21 and provide proof of a recognized firearms safety course completed within the last five years. The sale of magazines holding more than ten rounds is prohibited, as are many semiautomatic rifles by name and feature. A permit-to-purchase system is gradually being implemented, so verify current regulations with the State Patrol before ordering.
Dealers in these communities all work for Spokane-area buyers:
Washington requires a concealed pistol license to carry a concealed handgun, issued by your local police chief or the Spokane County Sheriff after fingerprinting and a background check, with a minimum age of 21. Open carry is legal without a license for adults in most locations but is banned at permitted demonstrations and on state capitol grounds. Licenses are valid for five years. Schools, courthouses, jails, bars, childcare facilities, restricted airport areas, and posted properties are off-limits. Washington frequently updates these rules, so confirm current regulations.
Washington's Fish and Wildlife Department manages hunting through numbered game management units, offering separate seasons for modern firearms, muzzleloaders, and archery. Most deer tags are sold over the counter, while the best elk and quality deer hunts are allocated through a special permit draw. The modern firearm general deer season begins in mid-October and lasts about two weeks in most units. White-tailed deer dominate the northeast, mule deer the central and southern units, and blacktail deer west of the Cascades. State magazine limits apply to firearms purchases. Always check current regulations for your unit.
Spokane County is part of northeast Washington's game management units, where white-tailed deer are the primary quarry. Public access is abundant in Mount Spokane and surrounding state and national forest land. Verify current WDFW regulations for your unit and season type.
Washington's firearm purchase rules, training requirements, and magazine limits significantly impact what can ship to Spokane. Many local shooters monitor state law changes closely before placing orders.
The public ranges listed on the city pages are run or listed by state wildlife agencies, state forests or the U.S. Forest Service. Many ask for a hunting license, a range pass or a small fee, and hours change with the season, so check the agency page before you drive.
