The "information" posted above (quoted below) is incorrect
The highest level after 114 was 91,661 in Nov and has declined steadily since, 76,437 in Dec, 56,173 in Jan, and down to 44,411 in Feb, 2023. (definitely NOT 125-140ish)
Actually year 2020 had a greater number of background checks submitted than did 2022 (according to OSPs own data).
Also there was no "new" 114 " permit process" to gear up for, there was no new process. The checks still would need to go thu the State's screwed up system and the Feds database checks as well. That would be no difference regardless. What they did not have was the database setup and the coordination/format for the local LEOs. Those temps and trainees that were doing the background checks for OSP would definitely not be the database creators and tester's...at least lets hope not!!! There was no reason for a glacial slowdown, actually good management would have anticipated this increase in background checks and planned for it. Assuming that they considered it their job to expediously process these checks.
The regular pace for OR background checks has been well above 25k a month for many years, you have to go back to 2016/2015 to find them that low. (average roughly has been 33,00-35,00 a month past few years)Time period #1 Before m114 was passed
A) regular pace for OR background checks was 25k per month (excluding spikes like before/after major elections).
Time period #2 m114 passed and idiots in state government said it will start immediately, despite no system set up
A) when m114 was approved the number of applicants jumped to 125k-140kish per month (according to Maxine Bernstein reports)
