In WA state, a CCW just bypasses the waiting period. Transfer fees vary wildly here. $20-$75 I have seen. Free if purchasing from the shop.

Many states CCW license counts as a Brady background check for 5 years from the date of issue. Per BATFE, even your WA state permit meets federal requirements if issued after 2011. If you have a permit and the law still requires the NICS call in, it is either a state or local law.
