Purchasing a firearm for immediate family

[Gatest]

I'm a touch late to the party but ors166.435(4)(c)(j) adds the spouses of any of the listed relatives as well.

It's almost as bad as Commiefornia.

I am not licensed to practice in Oregon, but I believe based on the plain language of the controlling statute that the above two answers are incorrect. A father-in-law does not appear to be in the definition of family member exempt from background checks. ORS 166.435(4)(c) spells out the exempted family members and does not include in-laws. I am open to correction.

I know this is an old post but I needed to research this for a transfer I am planning. In the research I discovered that you can indeed transfer to an in-law per provision 4, (c), (J): "The spouse or domestic partner of a person specified in subparagraphs (B) to (I) of this paragraph."

I apologize if this already came to light in this discussion as I just found it doing my research.
