Oregon 18 year old acquiring a handgun

[giovanniJ]

In Oregon, private family gift or sale only. That is it.

But how is a private sale if you have to go through the ffl

 

[titsonritz]

Or they can make one themselves.

Seems a little off topic but yeah at this point in time that is also an option.

I'm not gonna go hunt up something out of the Federal Register, but I'm pretty sure that federal laws regarding handguns and those under 21 are more strict that what are on the books in Oregon. But I could be wrong.

ETA: OK, I see that. But what is the law in Oregon regarding acquiring handguns from unlicensed individuals? Do you still have private seller laws that would allow an 18 yoa person to buyone?

No, except for private family transfer.

 

[titsonritz]

There are no "private sales" anymore. Everything in Oregon when done leaglly now must go through an FFL.

Between family members it is still legal.

 

[sobo]

No, except for private family transfer.

But is that for buying one, as I asked? Or is that for a gift, correct?


ETA: So, is it still legal in OR to SELL a fireman to a family member? In WA, that is now strictly verboten after I-594 back in 2014. What's the deal in OR now?

 

[giovanniJ]

It doesn't need to be in your name.

What? But what if a cop stops me because I open carry and I bought a gun that dosnt have any trace to me what do I say? Because that feels illegal

 

[titsonritz]

You don't go through an FFL, a family member does or pulls one out of their own stash and hands it to you.

Here is a cheat sheet from an anti-gun website with State age requirements:

Minimum Age

What's the minimum age to buy a gun? Minimum age laws for the purchase of guns are intended to decrease access to firearms by young people.

You can buy or gift it as long as the family member is on the list of exempted family members.

Edit: List of family members which can transfer to each other without background check.

Huh, so a family member can still make a buck in Oregon. The clowns in Olympia took that away from us in 2014 after I-594 passed.
We can only transfer a firearm to a permitted family member as a "bona fide gift" now. Legally, that is. And the transferee can't be under 21 for a handgun...

Don't spaz on the "what if" stuff.

This is still the law...

I am sure OR will be that way soon.

Which normally I wouldn't believe jack chit from but in this case is correct.

It is possible there could be errors if States have recently changed requirements but OR hasn't as far as I know.

Honestly, at this point, I don't give a crap. If I want to give or loan my kid MY weapon(s), that's what I'm going to do.

Good thing I bought my sons their glocks while they were still in high school. Lol
Back in the olden days. Before citizens were subjugated by the midnight legislators of Olympia .

I just want the OP to understand he can legally build a handgun and unless he a has a willing relative or moves to a free State, a poly80 glock build might be the easiest legal option.

You still can't buy handgun ammo until you are 21.

Lol

You can't buy 9mm at any age right now.

Unless you have the best dumb luck at the exact right moment.
