That's partly what I'm getting at. Nobody knows WTF is going on and the sky is falling, apparently, so we make up whatever sounds good to our individual ears and scream about it. It's very tiring
I think that's why Sportsman's is defaulting to the only actual definitive piece of Oregon law, which is the 30 day rule. Of course, that law is beyond vague, with no clear explanation as to when the 30 day count starts (which seems to be where all the guesswork is happening).

Frustrating all the way around, but then again, that's just part of what the pro-114 side wants!
 
I think all the gun stores got together and said:

"okay who is going to do the "freak out"...?"

ORW: "sportsmans"
JBFirearms "sportsmans"
bimart: "sportsmans"
nw armory: "not us we way too busy, sportsmans"
cabelas: "take a number"
...
Sportsmans: "god damn it guys, fine..."

Hmm…. Pearl Harbor day….. how fitting. :rolleyes:
 
I don't think many people really realize how dangerous that is especially if it has our address ect. on it. Even if it just has our name and it is a public list that is way too much and a violation of privacy.
Its the worst part of the bill. Yet people are freaking about the magazine ban. Not that I agree with mandatory background checks but at least it legally can't be searchable
 
All this is going to do is increase self made guns.... no registry problem solved and also encourage for private sales among each other without going through FFL which really shouldn't exist in the frist place. What two people exchange is no one's business.

But before you can apply for the permit, you need the certified training, is it not conspicuous that is not mentioned at all?
You can apply for the permit, but you need certified training first, and ...gee we don't have that yet...catch 22?

Oh, this ought to be a smooooth transition!!! :s0140: Lemme get this straight? Once I fill out the "Permit to Purchase" they are going to go ahead and process my background check and I'll get the firearm :rolleyes:? That I filled out the 4447 for on Nov 9th?

Yeah, okay.
 
If Sportsman's warehouse had their customers best interest in mind they would be completing transfers 3 days after the background check has been submitted.

Of course Sportsman's Warehouse doesn't have their customers best interest in mind! They are a business, they have their own best interest in mind. Just like my local gun store have their own best interest in mind as they are selling Anderson stripped lowers for $150 each and are completing transfers after 3 days. Businesses are their to make money, any sense of a greater responsibility to the public is just marketing. Even charities and civic groups are only there to pay their higher up management a big salary and promote their own best interests. It is the American way... it is the human way... it is the way of the entire animal kingdom!

Yeah, okay.
Sorry, They will only continue processing your background check once you have been issued a Permit-to-Purchase. Applying for it is only the first step and currently, the State does not have the infrastructure in place to issue these permits.
That is why this measure creates an "undue burden" which makes it unlawful.

Don't shoot the messenger

Since sportsmans is backing and joining the lawsuit I think they have other ideas. They will have real numbers on how many people are effected by this and have customers info to call and see if they want to join a class action lawsuit. When playing this game it's best to think 4 steps a head vs what needs to happen by the cut off date. They have a whole team of lawyers I am sure they have something brewing.
 
Im personally not hating on sportsmans, they were first to sound the crazy alarm. Anyway logic says the larger corporate gun sellers would just cancel purchases (if necessary) at the cut off. better for customers than having that money in gun limbo in my opinion.

I was thinking the same; what if they were stuck with a stock of firearms that people paid for, no background check was closed before the deadline and the people were too smart not to proceed with a permit to purchase and the box store was stuck with paid stock. They can refund on a gun that the buyer paid for and did not pick up?: i'd be glad to loose the money, not have my name, address and important personals publicly published. Small price to pay for privacy and my safety.
