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.
This is to let people who live in the city limits of Milwaukie know what is happening.
The city of Milwaukie has banned the use, sale and even possession of fireworks within city limits.
I'm curious if anyone has had a recently granted CHL in Oregon? I'm in Polk County, and was told that they're only waiting on the OSP background check at this point. With the bubblecluster caused by 114 I'm curious if those are backed up too?
I did have 2 recent-ish purchases, but both of...
For any of you who don't know, although Measure 114 is in stasis, Senate Bill 348 was a "gut and stuff" which was a complete rewrite of measure 114 and is alive and well and in some cases WORSE in that is retroactively establishes the active date for the magazine ban to December 08th and...
Disgraced Fmr Secretary of State Shemia Fagan, who had been in charge of reporting official ballot results, had something un-democratic to do with the 51/49 percent passage of Measure 114, in y2022.
Basics of her resignation...
Just needing to know current wait time trending on Multnomah's CHL background investigations. Had in person meeting Jan 27. It's been 3 1/2 mos. Seems like a long time.
OK, so we have the resignation of the Oregon Secretary of State on the basis of pay for play. Pretty much every thing she has touched should be suspect, including certification of Initiatives and election results. A few of these turned out to be mighty close and they always fell left of center...
Thought I would get a set of electronic fingerprints for ATF so I didn't need to keep sending in cards. Made an appointment with PrintScan at UPS and had a hard time getting acceptable prints due to the condition of my fingertips. Lots of cuts, lines, and generally worn smooth. Had to do an...
Hey All--Does anyone know exactly HOW to register multiple pistol braced firearms?
Can you register them all on the same form? I thought you could but I cannot tell how to do it. I've put 1 into the system, but cannot see where or how to add another firearm. The "add firearm" button is grayed...
So I’m placing an order for a Staccato. Called a local FFL just to make sure they are receiving guns. Was told they’re not doing 3 day releases but 5 business days. Anyone have recommendations for LO, Tigard or Tualatin FFL‘s that will honor the 3 day release for CHL permit holders. Two days...
Considering a trade of an Oregon gun for a Vancouver gun. Do we have to ship both ways ffl to ffl? My oregon G19 has 15 rnd mags. Is this another issue to go to Washington?
Stuff online talks around it but a lot of doublespeak. It seems like this used to be a lot simpler. Thanks.
Long story short….Scumbag tenant at friends’s condo in Portland wasn’t paying rent thru COVID up till now. Finally the owners were able to legally evict him. He was given one week after eviction to retrieve his belongings. It’s been a few weeks and still no word from said deadbeat. Legally, he...
New bill says you cant question the legality of newlaws except in leftist Marion county.
Senate Bill 348, Prozanski's omnibus anti-gun bill, is now scheduled for a "work session" on Monday at 1pm.
Work sessions are where bills are amended and passed to the floor for a vote of the...
Are all Oregon gun shops treating measure 14 as if it were fully in force ? I've heard of 30 day waits at some big shops and almost no waits at smaller shops.

THIS IS NOT AN APRIL FOOLS JOKE
Senate Bill 348, Prozanski's omnibus anti-gun bill, is now scheduled for a "work session" on Monday at 1pm.
Work sessions are where bills are amended and passed to the floor for a vote of the entire Senate.
The Senate Judiciary Committee has a...
Hi folks,
I count myself as pretty savvy with internet searches / queries ... I can't seem to find a definitely answer to this so thought I'd post to ask. This is in regards to Oregon. Let me give you a scenario. Assume the threat is real in both scenarios, that I have moral grounds, and use...
Got this notification this morning. Sounds like our govt is trying to push through without due legal process.
PEOPLE'S RIGHTS - CALL TO SHOW UP - Today 3/27 at the capital in Salem *12:30pm in Hearing Room D and/or *4;30pm in Hering Room A
See last night's email about SB348 for more...
All Oregon residents,
This really burns me. The committee leaders are trying their hardest to try and rush things through to give our side as little opportunity as possible to organize and respond.
Therefore please DO post this in at least one other thread on reddit, or on another forum that...
This is an Editorial and informational alert primarily about HB2005. This legislation is being sold as outlawing "ghost guns". If you read it carefully there are at least two other major changes buried in the text over and above the outright ban on an individual's ability to make their own...
