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.
Interesting twist here (to me anyway) that the state has to prove their case for judge to lift the m114 injunction. We are so used to it being the other way around where GOA/FPC etc has to prove their case. Seems to me this is very encouraging (for the short term anyway).
Sorry to start another...
Does "control" in this language mean that a shooting partner could legally use your 11+ mags in an otherwise legal setting while you were present?
"a) The large-capacity magazine was owned by the person before the effective date of this 2022 Act and maintained in the
person's control or...
Under Measure 114, there are allowances for transporting 10+ round removable magazines to the range, for training, etc. How do you do this with a tubular magazine on a shotgun? Are you supposed to disassemble the firearm to transport it to the range? Does anybody have an idea how this is...
I’ve seen very little discussion on this part of this measure. It’s not talked about on the televised so-called news, nothing detailed posted here and the measure itself is pretty darn vague.
Not that I give two spits about it, since I’m done buying. But I’d like to know all the details. These...
Any thoughts on transferring magazines to your gun trust? Checking around, seems some Colorado lawyers recommended this back in 2013:

(Practically not concerned, but figured I could notarize a bill of sale now... and optionally...
Well this is an interesting development- if you attempt to order a 10 round mag from MidwayUSA, such as a P320 neutered mag, MidwayUSA will not let you complete the order to an Oregon address, stating: “Oregon has restricted the sale of magazines that have a capacity of more than 10 rounds, or...
How are you documenting magazine ownership prior to enactment of 114? I'm newer to shooting so I can probably access lots of my receipts from online vendors, but not all, and I can't--easily--document purchases from folks on NWFA. I took time-stamped digital photos of all my magazines, labeled...
From OFF:
"...this afternoon, a county judge in Harney County changed everything by issuing his own temporary restraining order against the measure, putting it on hold.
We can thank Gun Owners of America for that as they were the only ones to file in state court. So while the Federal Judge did...
Here's how I see it. Eventually the standard capacity (over 10 round) portion of Measure 114 will be struck down as the unconstitutional garbage it is. If we're lucky, Judge Benitez down in San Diego will re-rule as he did before in Duncan v. Bonta and the decision should carry along to Oregon...
I know someone waiting in the queue to get a gun that they bought at our local Bi-Mart. They just got a call telling them to come get their mags as Bi-Mart instructed staff to destroy all mags over 10 rounds! That's just one store though. Anyone else hear the same or know of another store...

She gave the state a 30 day extension instead of the 60 they requested. I suspect all of these cases will need to go in on appeal up the ninth and beyond as she clearly...
