Whaaaaaaat?

 

[ValleyAR]

some FFLs are acting right now if no firearms purchases will be allowed after Dec. 8th. (Without purchase permit)

i was thinking the current BG process would be extended until the permitting scheme was in place.

guess i was wrong...?

Sportsmans supposed philosophy is all BULL. I don't think they give a rats hind-end about customers. I say this because of the still high price of their ammo, poor selection of goods and their unwillingness to reveil when scheduled shipments are to arrive.

 

[Velzey]

I would really like to know where they are getting their information.

When will Oregon Measure 114′s gun limits start: Uncertainty reigns

"It's going to be awhile before this law goes into effect , if it ever does," said Adam Winkler, a constitutional law professor at UCLA School of Law.

They're just instilling fear to increase sales.

If that is truly their stance then guess I will add Sportsman's Warehouse to how I feel about Dick's Sporting Goods.

Dead to me

Better get what you want now. BGC even with CPL is a month out. Ask how i know.

My Father did not cross a minefield to escape the Communists in 1956 just have his name put on a public list of gun owners!

I don't get why people are jumping down Sportsman's throat. It isn't their fault that the Oregon SoS has not provided any clarity as to how/when measure 114 will take effect.

Sportsman's is using the only information available to them, which is Oregon statute saying that any ballot measure goes into law 30 days after it's passage. Barring any other information from actual Oregon officials, what are they expected to do?

They were the only major retailer that attempted to spread awareness and fight Measure 114; any anger about it should be directed toward LEVO, Multnomah County, anyone who voted YES on 114, pro-2A individuals who were too lazy to vote, etc…

Pearl Harbor Day, what timing!

I posted the announcement from Sportsman's Warehouse to share information on this forum. My personal opinion is they are informing their customers when no one else is. Other options are out there like the Oregon State Shooting Association (OSSA). Here's a recent announcement from them. You can also visit their website. https://www.ossa.org/

BM114 update, key information/links, your next steps.

Unfortunately, Ballot Measure 114 appears to be passing with a narrow margin. It's very clear that Multnomah and Washington counties carried the vote. 6 counties had yes majorities while the remaining 30 counties had 70%+ No votes. You can use this link to see the summary NBCDecision2022 What's next? Please see our BM114 web page (www.ossa.org/bm114) for the latest information. We will try to keep it updated to keep you informed. The effective date is unclear due to the many parts and issues with BM114. The measure will need significant correcting… The state agencies don't even know who will be completing this work. Stay tuned at our OSSA website and BM114 page for updates. There will be most certainly legal challenges, but these need to be strategic and focused efforts. OSSA and OASR are members of and aligned with the Oregon Sportsmen Opposed to Gun Violence. This is a coalition of local and national teams that will have the means to act on the right legal strategy and actions. The team is formed and engaged. There are many indicating immediate actions – but these need to be coordinated. What Can You Do?

I was hearing the same date from all the vendor at a gun show this weekend. Dec 8th is the day.

Most of these type of announcements are really CYA. A bitg retailer like Sportsmans have to do it even more than the small guys as they have way more exposure and harm possible by the big bullies at the state level.

Not totally surprising and per usual yet another piss-poor written initiative and filled with holes and cracks and massive uncertainty. Welcome Oregon to the ongoing mess that is Olympia.

A ballot measure is supposed to go into effect 30 days after the vote is certified which in this case is December 15th and the law would be in effect January 15th .

The new measure isn't supposed to go into effect until 30 days after the vote is certified on December 15th . Soit should not be enforced until January 15th not December 8th .

Enforcing a law that does not yet exist.. interesting

 

[arakboss]

This is a bit laughable as OSP won't even be asking for permits on Dec 8th. Maybe Sportsmans is trying to set themselves up as the first victim so we can get the first lawsuits going?
