Oregon NICS current wait

[jkor]

That clearance time is nuts. I'll look forward to seeing the numbers in their next report (though not sure when it is due), but no way they're clearing the 5k-6kish per week they have been in years past…

Seems to be 150-200 a day

Last check I did, they were moving at a rate of clearing 3 days worth of checks every 7 days. They're slow-walking the process.

My guess is that in the next couple of weeks OSP will get past the Christmas sales and the que will start moving faster. The process is very frustrating for me. Not only do I have a CHL , I also have a Class 06 FFL and I renewed them both in the last month, meaning from here to Virginia and back everyone is ok with who I am and what I do. But here I sit in the que just like everyone else. I wasn't going to buy any guns thinking I didn't want to be part of the problem, but then I found one I just had to have at a price I was willing to pay so here I sit practicing patience, something I'm not particularly good at.

@street Can you even get the reports anymore?

OSP used to publish monthly reports of how many FICS checks they would do along with approval/denial numbers. From what I see, they quit doing that in June 2018, but you can still find the old reports in the state archives.

For example, in December 2017 OSP processed 32,798 total FICS transactions....over 1,000 per day on average.

Yes, based on the annual reports of yearly transactions they would have to average around 1000 a day. They have moved to less transparency over time and the annual reports are next to gibberish. A bureacracy that should not even exist. Should be direct ffl to nics like many other states.

What's the current list looking like ?

 

[Snailtrail77]

CHL holder. Delayed 9 months. Purchased guns in 2020. No issue. You are going to have to appeal delay. Get fingerprint card at local agency. Then send it along with full name and DOB to OSP HQ stating you want to appeal delay. They will send you all info they have. Then you can dispute the record and have it corrected. Timely process. This is being done on purpose to limit peoples rights. Anyone with anything on their record will be delayed indefinitely until permit law is upheld.

 

[Snailtrail77]

Here's the form

Awful. With my CHL I was 9,000 two weeks ago. Today I'm 5,000.

FWIW -
Tigard Pawn is still doing 5 Day transfers. (3 day with a weekend...?)

FFL Transfer Portland OR – Licensed FFL Dealer Near Me | Tigard Pawn

What is an FFL Transfer? If you’re buying a gun that’s being shipped to you, you’ll need the services of a licensed FFL dealer who can receive the shipment for you. A Federal Firearms Licensed (FFL) dealer is one who is is permitted by the United States government to take part in the interstate sale

JB arms 3 days as well. Northwest armory is ran by weak money loving tyrants

 

[dinky450]

J&B is still doing 3day and if you call first they are doing transfers depending on storage space.

I bought a pistol in Keizer on 2/18/23 was placed at 20k plus and called today to check progress. They said they're going by date now and the current date being processed is Jan 17th.

But on a different thread someone said they purchased on Feb 2 and picked up the gun last week? So it's kinda willy nilly from what I've seen.

 

[Willysmb]

I purchased a rifle at Bi Mart on January 21st. Was 11,500ish in the que. 2 weeks ago I was 2000ish in the que. Have purchased 3 handguns since January 21st, Instant clear on all 3. Can someone please explain this?

Makes you wonder if the clerk at Bimart made a typo.

 

[Willysmb]

Agreed. My primary FFL mentioned to me that an OSP examiner commented to him about the lack of experience with counter help at places like Bi Mart.

Still, it is unconscionable in this day and age that an "instant check" should take more than 15 seconds. As taxpayers, we have certainly paid for top of the line super computers fully capable of handling the task.

They can get my taxes done right away. Why not my background check?

Oh yeah, that's right..........

 

[eustace_stelio]

I think my delay was caused because on my driver's license my middle name is not listed but it is on my chl. The clerk at Cascade farm and outdoor insisted on using my license instead of my chl even though I asked him to just use my chl.

He said my chl isn't a government issued form of id so he had to have my license and "it'll show that I have a chl through the dmv..."

I didn't realized the chl had my middle name and license didn't until I started reading post here once I found this forum a week ago. Next time I'll remember to make sure middle name is spelled out and hope I go back to no que wait.

This thread continues to be that not so friendly remember that LEO organizations are not your friend.

Individuals, sure. As an org? Cancer.

Finally! Was cleared today to take possession of my 1/21/22 purchase.

Interesting that since it has been more than 30 days since my initial purchase (OSP submission), Bi Mart has to call OSP to see if I am STILL a responsible citizen (since it has been more than 30 days from my initial request to the Crown). Is that process "instant"? Seems to be.

Funny how that all works.

On Friday the osp were clearing Jan 17th so it's good they're at least 4 days further along after 2 days. Now if they could speed it up a little more I might get my gun by Easter lol.
