Oregon OSP no longer giving prioirity to CHL in background check queue

December 12, 2022

The Oregon State Police (OSP) has previously processed Concealed Handgun
License holders at an expedited pace through the Firearms Instant Check System. For
years, this practice was efficient and effective. Recently, the unprecedented
surge in background requests caused a severe impact on the efficiency of this
practice and the overall background process. OSP has recognized this impact and
altered the background process to ensure background requests, that are in the
"Queue", are processed in the order they are received by the FICS Unit.

Translation, we can't really do the job efficiently that we are charted with by law, and we want everyone to be equally denied or delayed their constitutional right to firearms. Even those who previously completed the extensive background checks required for concealed permits.

Gee, actually hiring more clerks to run a keyboard to handle the workload would be TOTALLY out of the question, right?

Stop that.....you are making actual literal sense here.

Another reach to achieve equity.

Oregon is so lost. Started in CA. Moved to OR. Then polluted WA, then moved back into OR even worse

I'm wondering how this affects those who normally get instant approval?

…..And those of us who might be stuck in what's been known as the 3 day release rule….

OSP, we're all about 'Equity' in performing our duty. I believe since only (random?) CHL background ck applicants were eligible for instant approvals, that has ended for now.

More than likely the change has been to their workers can focus on getting approval for people before the 30 day mark.

At last check, CHL holders are people two, with an 8,000 backlog.

CHL backlog is at 13,000, total backlog 38,000.

I think it has moved less than 100 in the last 5 days for both queues.

 

[Local Loader]

From what I've seen and heard it's moved only about 50 to 100 a day.
At this point a suit should be filed to force an inquiry as to why we went from 600+ a day to 75 a day.

edit: correct, had misread your op.

Or another view is 114 is working, most people can't legally acquire firearms in OR.

Considering lately they've been processing a handful a day I don't believe this one bit
