Another gun turn in

[pokerace]

I've always wondered if it would be an illegal f2f sale if they bought from a washington resident.

Now that I hadn't thought of..

You know, that just might be an angle to look into!! Since they are "paying" for the guns aren't they a dealer and buying without an FFL?

I wonder how many of the good ones go home with LEOs with out paper work?
Or better yet,used a s throw down guns?

im going down there three days after my birthday maybe i can finally get a bar and a mini 14

 

[El Arrow]

That would be awesome!

I wonder if you stood outside on a public sidewalk with a sign that said you would pay $75 how many takers you might get?????

 

[Frito]

So, the sidewalk purchase sounds like a neat idea but with all the eyes and cameras, I'll admit I'd be nervous. My FTF transactions in the past have been with forum members in quiet, neutral places. Anyone have an idea about the rules of a FTF in a public place like this? I don't want to get busted for brandishing or something stupid like that.

Oregon doesn't have a brandishing law. There is a menacing law. You shouldn't have a problem if you don't go waving them around. If you don't have a CHL, don't load a gun or a magazine. The city prohibits it.

Event Details:
Saturday, October 22, 2011
10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Memorial Coliseum, Portland
300 North Winning Way, North Benton Parking Lot

I'll be there, ~9:30 AM. I check with local enforcement to verify if sidewalk purchases will be legal.

I believe bb guns and pellet guns that are turned in will get you a $5 Burgerville gift certificate. That is what it was last time.

Went By there around noon .Thought i might find something worthwhile.More guys on sidewalk with we buy guns signs than people turning in guns. ( Great place for gang members to buy more guns)

I'll be posting my rescued shotgun later today.. Nice Remington model 31 12ga. Very few turn ins.

Yep, this is where me and my home boys pick up our glock fo'tays with assault clips. We also find our gats there with shoulder things that go up.

That is both horribly wrong, and extremely hilarious at the same time...

At work, a bunch of us have Nerf guns. Sadly, mine is more accurate fired "gansta" style than normal. (Darts curve to the right upright, which, held "gangsta style", means it just adds an upward arc.)

Meth heads showing up to sell a gun they stole would be the only positive scenario. But they could get more for it on the street so that happening is probably unlikely.

I'm kinda new here, from Montana. If a junkie turned in a stolen gun, isn't it the responsibility of the police to check out the numbers of firearms turned in to see if it was reported stolen? I know numbers could or could not have been altered or obliterated, but I think Cease Fire Oregon may be held accountable for buying stolen guns. Wouldn't it be the responsibilty of the police to contact the owner of said stolen gun? Just a bit of discussion fodder. I'm sure the cops look the other way and won't be bothered with such legal technicalities.

 

[CharonPDX]

So Cease Fire Oregon is probably being treated differently. Wether there is legal justification or not, I don't know. But they're probably being treated as "donations", not "sales".

Good article on it from the Portland Tribune: Gun turn-in pits Ceasefire against collectors with cash

Best quote?

A number of police officers assisting with the turn-in event said they had no problem with gun collectors persuading gun owners not to hand over their guns for destruction.

The Portland Police behaving well. Apparently at a previous event, an officer even convinced someone to take an antique rifle to a museum rather than turn it in!
