Does anyone know the meaning of "domestic partner" in ORS 166.435? Does it refer specifically to registered same-sex domestic partnerships? I'm assuming so, but I thought I'd check. I want to give my girlfriend a gun as a gift, so I guess she needs a background check . After all, it's not like living with her for 3 years is enough to know whether she is fit to own a gun, our legislators know better.
