FTF Private sale

[PDXFirearms]

What is the law for this in Oregon? Do you need to run a background check on a buyer for a FTF sale? Is there a number you can call for a background check as a private party? I did search but couldn't find anything concrete.

Thanks in advance...

No, background check not required. There is a 1-800 number you can call though. Good luck getting a private party sale that way.

If you conduct a private party F2F sale at a gun show; however, then you do have to do the background check.

As a Washington Res is there a problem buying from an Oregon Res FTF?

Yes. It is illegal unless one of you is a FFL.

Yes. It is illegal unless one of you is a FFL.

Can you provide the law citation for that prohibition?
