One of the few avenues we have in Oregon to acquire modern firearms without a background check is with in the family. Here is the list of who you can legally transfer firearms to or from without a background check.
) A transferor's spouse or domestic partner;
(B) A transferor's parent or stepparent;
(C) A transferor's child or stepchild;
(D) A transferor's sibling;
(E) A transferor's grandparent;
(F) A transferor's grandchild;
(G) A transferor's aunt or uncle;
(H) A transferor's first cousin;
(I) A transferor's niece or nephew; or
(J) The spouse or domestic partner of a person specified in subparagraphs (B) to (I) of
this paragraph
There is no straw purchase restrictions laid out in the law for private party transfers between family members. If you consider the tentacles of a typical family including blood relatives, non blood relatives (step, spouses, etc) the family transfer opportunities could be huge. Has anybody explored the idea of using an online platform to help discover private party transfer opportunities between multiple families.
One example.
Fred and Wilma are married and Fred wants to buy an AR15 but a moronic state law has prevented transfers from FFLs and none of his eligible family members has one to sell.
Wilma's sister Betty is married to Barney.
Barney's dad Frank wants to sell his AR15 for cheap but him and Fred and not on each other's eligble list of family members they can legally transfer to or from.
Betty could legally buy the firearm from Frank and then legally sell it to Fred.
Another example.
My wife and I attend one of her family reunions on her Dad's side. At the family reunion family members have firearms displayed on their own tables. My wife also has her own table. We trade, buy or sell with whoever is on our eligble list.
This idea would assume all family members resided in Oregon for the transfers. It also assumes that family members are not prohibited persons.
