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.
So if you have a 80 lower you have to take it to an FFL to get a background check and for them to put their info and serial number on the 80 percent frame.
But isn't that illegal since most FFL do not have the correct FFL to manufacturer firearms.
I got this old rifle from WW2, it doesn’t have any serial number. It’s a Arisaka 7.7. Can I just freedom sell this baby? It’s not in my name, I don’t think it’s in anybodys name.
If purchasing a new firearm and purchasing one from an individual, can you use the same/single background check at a local FFL dealer if doing the deal at the same time?
Does anyone have similar experiences to one I just had?
I have loved MidwayUSA for many years up to now. I recently placed an order.
“My order for two 15 round magazines was taken, received gushing promises to get them as soon as they got in, then later get a notice the order is cancelled. I...
The Feds have said that a trigger which will continue to fire with one pull of the trigger is bad juju. It doesn't discuss any other action that is required for that type of trigger to be a no-no.
For example if you had a full auto trigger set up in an AR15 but had a bob sled permanently...
I live in Oregon. I have a pistol listed for sale. I have been contacted by a Washington resident who is interested. I know I cannot sell the pistol with hi cap mags. But Can I deliver it to him via a Washington FFL?
I could only find fishing, hunting and shooting outdoors threads to post in so if there's another thread I need to be in let me know. Also if there's already a discussion going on , I'll check it out.
Considering late summer (October ish) ….edit…. I guess lost lake closes in August cooler...
What are the WA requirements for an FFL to receive a bolt action rifle from out of state. Driver's license copy or does it have to be sent by the out of state FFL?
Thanks!
As an oregon resident is it legal to sell a complete upper to a wash resident? I've read that an upper isn't considered an rifle but still not sure the legality of such a transaction.
If they travel to Oregon for the purchase is it a "its on them" scenario?
Thanks for any suggestions.
I’m curious how the bgc works with private sales and trades. If you go to a local dealer and have them do the background check for someone purchasing a gun from you, or you from them, does the applicant go into the que with all the other applicants buying new from a dealer?
Hey, What happens when a private buisness, (non-state or federal) has one of these signs? Is there any law or restriction against just ignoring it? I mean 99% of all mass murders are cimmitted in gun free zones. I have concealed permit in WA and OR. So far, (if they don't have a metal...
