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 was wondering if I buy a firearm on the 7th and the BGC does not go instantly and can't pick it up after the 8th could I file a lawsuit? Can an individual sue the State of Oregon? I'm thinking of some sort of template, fill in name and date of the 2nd amendment constitutional infringement...

Hello,
first-time firearm purchaser here, I recently bought my a Glock 19 Generation 3 and am wondering about the legality of carrying my handgun in the factory container (locked) in a bag/backpack while being a pedestrian (walking/biking/e-scooter), and traveling on the bus systems in the...
Since it will be a while till we can buy firearms again or measure 114 is shot down, I plan on diverting some of my money towards some Cerakote work I've been wanting to do. Will 114 affect Cerakote services since you technically need a permit to lend a gun to a person? I know it probably will...
I'm starting this thread in the hopes we can keep some information easier to find. One someone has VERIFIABLE information that any group is starting litigation, please post the information here. There will be plenty of rumors so be careful of your sources.
@Joe Link can we get this one...
It's looking more and more likely that there are going to be a lot of firearms locked up at FFLs across the State if OSP requires permit to purchase begining Dec 8, 2022 no court relief is given.
In this thread I would like to explore options that FFLs might offer so they don't have to sit on...
Assuming the firearm owner was present (or was on exemption list for transfers, eg family), have you helped somebody with repairs, assembly, modifications, etc on their firearm?
I can't find any legal reasons, in Oregon, that would prohibit this as long as the person was present while work was...
I have a buddy that is interested in buying a pistol from me. He is 19 and I understand that if you purchase a handgun from a licensed FFL and dealer you must be 21. Does that age apply to private transfer sales for handguns as well or is the minimum age 18??
Thanks!!

Previous plans had been made to send a handgun out to Washington for a film shoot.
The last time it was sent we just did the transfer and background check both ways.
Now with measure 114, I wouldn't be able to get it back since I'd legally be "purchasing" the gun when it was sent back to me...
Addressed to all of our customers, Oregon gun owners, our fellow Oregon FFLs, and to firearms enthusiasts everywhere:
By now you are most likely aware that at 12am on Dec 8th the Oregon State Police will be requiring permits for firearms purchasing due to Measure 114. There have been numerous...
