Poll: OREGON- 19 years old, want to purchase a handgun.

[The Heretic]

You have to pass the background check now so you have to be 21 to do that. Its required on the background check form. You can own one over age 18 but cant buy one (oh the wisdom of our rulers is never ending)

If a family member sold you one you dont need to do a background check under SB 941. You have to be careful though. If a family member went and bought a gun and then gave it to you it could be seen as a straw purchase.

ORS 166.250 - Unlawful possession of firearms - 2015 Oregon Revised Statutes

Correct except, per the BATF, it is a straw purchase if it is not a gift (i.e., the recipient of the firearm compensates the buyer, in some way, for the purchase) or the recipient cannot legally own a firearm.

E.G., if I buy a handgun as a gift, for a 17 year old niece and give it to her for her to keep in her possession, then that is probably a straw purchase even though it is a gift, and it is also illegal for her to posses it. OTOH, if she is 18 and otherwise legal to own firearms (not a drug user, felon, etc.), then I can give it to her as a gift. If she gives me money to buy the gun for her, regardless of her age or eligibility, then that would be a straw purchase as it could then be construed that I am buying it so that her name is not on the records as having bought the firearm. If she doesn't give me money or other compensation, and she is 18, then the transfer to her is legal.

Outside the family - say the person was 18 and just an acquaintance, then I could not gift or sell any firearm to them without the BGC.

According to Obama there should be a glock laying around for you to pick up pretty easily. I dont understand why you are having such issues getting a handgun at 19?

Jsut don't try to buy a book as those are harder to get.

You can get a bargain AR for a hair under $600, but a Mini-14 can, and will run circles around it. Cleaner action, lower iron sights, just as versatile if not more so.

I have a mini-14 and after shooting an AR-15 I can say the mini-14 sucks--Don't Waste Your Money on a pos mini-14

Well, I'm convinced. Forget the 10,000 rounds I put through my K5 growing up. Forget the dozens of coyotes it slayed from 50-600 yards, and the hundreds of ground squirrels and crowd. Forget all the javelina in Arizona, and the axis deer in Texas. Someone name bill in cave creek liked an AR better. Might as well toss it in the garbage for next week's pickup.

I like where all of this went...
I decided on an M&P15 Sport II I Picked it up brand new for $650 after everything.
Not sure if it was a good deal, but I am happy with it. I may do some mods once I get out of debt, lol. Any ideas of what I should do for this baby?

So...where do you live again ?

Don't call them mods. This isn't call of duty. Shoot it first. Then see how you feel. Swapping the furniture for magpul will cost you about $100 for MOE, but maybe Magpul's not your thing. For optics: buy once, cry once. Don't get a $30 sight mark red dot. Please. Save up for an Aimpoint, or an EOTech. Maybe something powered, but that front sight post will make the picture a little darker.

Yea just go shoot it and have fun. Very little of that tactical garbage is useful unless your a contractor in Iraq.

 

[DONOTBUGME]

fix the green stock though, unless that is from the camera and it is black. Matching is next to cleanliness, which we all know is next to godliness.

Yeah, easier than buying a book or a computer.....
Obama is, was, and always be a putz....
And the worst President we have ever had, unless Killery gets elected...

 

[Nick Burkhardt]

If Mom or Dad want to gift or even sell a handgun to their 18-20 year old, how is that a straw purchase?

Its actually all black, not sure why it looks green, but hey.

Was that a Krupp K5?

It would also be a straw purchase for a family member to buy for you. SB941 kind of killed your chance of a real private party sale. I would suggest an 80% pistol lower. Build your own gun.

Unless as a bonafide gift.
