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.
There is no required background check at the moment for making your own firearm in Oregon. The frames and receivers rule from the ATF only requires serialization if it goes to an FFL and even that has come into recent injunctions. It seems like while folks wait that a kit might be the way to...
I'm sure somewhere in all the 114 posts it's here but...
What gun shops are releasing firearms after waiting 3 days for the BC request? It is the law...correct?
Are Oregonians going to be able to buy firearms in Washington after December 8th? Does 114 keep lawful gun owners from being able to even purchase out of state firearms?
Thanks Nicole

Thanks to @mhayd93 , @Lilhigbee , @PiratePast40 and others, I have realized it would be unhelpful to particpate in the shaping of Measure 114 as groups gather to finalize the regulations. I believe we want it to be as restrictive as possible so the courts are more likely to overturn it. This...
So I just purchased 15 10 round Mag Pull magazines .
They have a base plate just like a 30 round magazine has.
So my question is, is it legal because it may some how be modified to hold more than 10 rounds. This would also apply to all 10 round mags. Glock.Beretta. and so on. Any 10 round mag...
Anyone have any idea what's going to happen to transfers that are already in delayed status if they aren't cleared for approval until after 114 is enacted?
I purchased a bunch of magazines on Election Day. They arrived in Portland on Thursday night and haven’t moved since. Fed Ex has said my package is delayed and has no expected delivery date. Is anyone else having this problem? I thought we had until the 8th. I really hope they don’t get confiscated.
Curious for some opinions on how 114 effects target shooting on public land? As its written I can take normal magazines to designated ranges. BLM land is legal to shoot on. Curious for your opinions on what we have to deal with until this unconstitutional measure is overturned.
One interesting exemption that is provided for in Measure 114 and SB941 is this one:
(F) For the purpose of preventing imminent death or serious physical injury, and the provision lasts only as long as is necessary to prevent the death or serious physical injury.
Nobody wants to see somebody...
My Uberti .22 has been sitting in an FFL since February due to a delayed background check. I've had no changes to my legal status and purchased three other firearms without issue in the two years prior. None of the phone numbers on the OSP site provide any good info, nor have my calls, with...
Now that it looks like measure 114 may pass here in Oregon, I have a question. How does law effect honorably retired LEO S. I bought my duty weapon upon retirement. It came with its issue hi capscity mags.
Is their any exceptions for retired LEO carrying hi caps in public???
What can we do about measure 114 individually? I believe the court case(s) to overturn this unconstitutional law is the most effective way to fight this.
We have seen in the last months that court cases are extremely effective in striking down these gun control laws, one after another. This is...
If only others had the sense to stand up to these freaking idiots!
