Oregon (/ˈɔːrᵻɡən/ AWR-ə-gən) is a state in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. Oregon is bordered on the west by the Pacific Ocean, on the north by Washington, on the south by California, on the east by Idaho, and on the southeast by Nevada. The Columbia River delineates much of Oregon's northern boundary, and the Snake River delineates much of the eastern boundary. The parallel 42° north delineates the southern boundary with California and Nevada. It is one of only three states of the contiguous United States to have a coastline on the Pacific Ocean, and the proximity to the ocean heavily influences the state's mild winter climate, despite the latitude.
Oregon was inhabited by many indigenous tribes before Western traders, explorers, and settlers arrived. An autonomous government was formed in the Oregon Country in 1843, the Oregon Territory was created in 1848, and Oregon became the 33rd state on February 14, 1859. Today, at 98,000 square miles, Oregon is the ninth largest and, with a population of 4 million, 26th most populous U.S. state. The capital of Oregon is Salem, the second most populous of its cities, with 160,614 residents (2013 estimate). With 609,456 residents (2013 estimate), Portland is the largest city in Oregon and ranks 29th in the U.S. Its metro population of 2,314,554 (2013 estimate) is 24th. The Willamette Valley in western Oregon is the state's most densely populated area, home to eight of the ten most populous cities.
Oregon's landscape is diverse, with a windswept Pacific coastline; a volcano-studded Cascade Range; abundant bodies of water in and west of the Cascades; dense evergreen, mixed, and deciduous forests at lower elevations; and a high desert sprawling across much of its east all the way to the Great Basin. The tall conifers, mainly Douglas fir, along Oregon's rainy west coast contrast with the lighter-timbered and fire-prone pine and juniper forests covering portions to the east. Abundant alders in the west fix nitrogen for the conifers. Stretching east from central Oregon are semi-arid shrublands, prairies, deserts, steppes, and meadows. At 11,249 feet (3,429 m), Mount Hood is the state's highest point, and Crater Lake National Park is Oregon's only national park.
Never occurred to me till now.
Have a pistol en route to my FFL, and it's rumored the Fed is going to shutdown.
Will my FFL be able to process the form 4473?
Or will my pistol be in ATF jail; with my suppressor as a cell mate?
Ordered a couple of mags on Friday. Got mail today saying could not ship to Oregon. Thought that was pending? When searching web also said training is required before a gun purchase now? Please advise

Planning trips out of Oregon for myself and was curious on this. For anyone else wondering this is a great interactive map, just click on whatever state you're curious for and it will show the states that observe your CHL.

I haven't heard anything about hb 2005 being challenged in court (searched the forum, google, off's site)? I thought the NRA offered to challenge this with a ceremony outside the house.
I know some of it is based on the Frame and Receiver rule, but the Supreme court garenteed this would...
I let my permit lapse thinking I didn't want to be "outed" with all the privacy breaches and garbage intrusions into our privacy. Although I rarely go out in public these days it's awkward trying to open carry and keep a low profile. Also going into Winter I'm not sure if wearing a coat counts...
So this is an interesting development. In anticipation of the upcoming Harney County trial starting on the 18th, over the course of the last few months I have been purchasing what i can before the trial potentially moves and 114 possibly implemented. All has been smooth sailing, buying “hi cap”...
Hi All,
I have a question, I am in the process of buying an old Rem 552 Speedmaster receiver from a guy in Ohio.
He says:
"I can send to your FFL if they accept with photo ID from individual".
Anybody know offhand if that will work legally, before I start calling my FFLs?
Thanks, SPaw

Does anyone know if your address with the DMV is classified as "continuous traveler", are you still able to purchase a firearm provided you have separate form of identification with your home address (such as a concealed handgun license)? From what I understand the FFL needs a document that...
Hello all.
My name is Eric and I'm new here. NWFA was recommended by a RO at the range I was at the other day. Since the acquisition of my grandfather's 30-40 Krag Carbine, it's become clear that learning to load my own ammo is gonna become necessary unless I want to spend 60 + shipping on...
i am having a discussion with another person about shipping long guns from Oregon to another state, he tells me that any individual can ship any long gun through USPS to an FFL holder in another state. can anybody tell me if he is right or wrong?
