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.
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...
The other day my employer sent out a notice of a threat, some individual threatened my organization, and in the description it stated “… does have one firearm registered to his name.” I believe this information is from OSP but it does not explicitly state it.
The question(s) I have rolling...
Ive been starting to look for a good suppressor to start off with. Ideally I'd be willing to buy one that could do more than caliber okay even if its pricey. Any suggestions? Point me in the right direction?
This excerpt is particularly interesting to me.
Can't wait for a lawyer to read it and comment as to the practical meaning of this new bit of Oregon case law.
See in the context the sentence, making reference to the Oregon definition of a firearm, that says in the Judge's words, "Without a...
So buying magazines in Oregon is a nightmare right now. As of 11/9/2023 the magazine law is on hold, but a lot of stores (online and IRL) will not ship/carry "contraband" magazines. This seems to change on a daily basis, as places that I bough magazines from just a little while ago no longer...
So I want to keep certain details sparse until I know what I'm dealing with. Last summer (2022) I sold an SBR CZ scorpion to a shop. They said the transfer of a NFA item was a bit more complex but they would have no issue getting it done. They cut me a check and I put it out of my mind.
About 6...
I got family that wants to go shooting and
I want to take some handguns up
Also No I won’t be taking any mags over 10rds
does anyone know or can point me to the right direction to figure out?
-EDIT-
Going to buy a 10 rounder and cap it off to 5 rounds. Thanks guys!
Trying to find a 5 round 5.56 mag for a 5.56 AK is basically impossible.
So, how do I go about pinning a 30 round to 5 rounds for hunting?
Is that even legal at all?
Thanks
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
