Oregon Store Front Required for FFL

[Who The F R U]

I spoke with ATF in Portland late last year and they said they have no problem with home based FFL. As long as where you live is not prohibited by local policies

Oregon state firearms preemption clause
ORS 166.170 - State preemption - 2017 Oregon Revised Statutes

Local policies cant stop you from getting a home based FFL ANYWHERE IN OREGON.

Not forbidding FFL but rather forbidding running a business out of a home.

They cant do that either the preemption cover's anything that a city might try and do about you running a FFL from your home.

"Except as expressly authorized by state statute, no county, city or other municipal corporation or district may enact civil or criminal ordinances, including but not limited to zoning ordinances, to regulate, restrict or prohibit the SALE, acquisition, transfer, ownership, possession, storage, transportation or use of firearms or any element relating to firearms and components thereof, including ammunition. Ordinances that are contrary to this subsection are void. [1995 s.s. c.1 §1]"

And Yes SALE cover's running a business of selling firearms.

The laws restricting FFL's to storefront addresses are state and local laws. The FED doesn't care. California has limited them to storefront commercial addresses for at least 10 years. Idaho doesn't care. I don't know about Oregon.

we are talking about Oregon not Kalifukyou

States can restrict who and where FFL's are issued to.......that was my point. States and local governments can also dictate minimum storage requirements like Vaults, hardened structures in front of doors limiting the ability of vehicles being driven through them to gain access and barred windows.

 

[Who The F R U]

Not in Oregon, There are many other States that have similar preemption clauses, that protect the right to keep and bear arms.

Unfortunately the mayor of Portland think's he's going to change the State Constitution.

I have my ffl not necessarily for firearm sales although i do sell some here and there, but i primarily got it cause i own a holster business (Westac Holsters) And i needed it to take in customers guns. It was super easy to get. But just make sure you have a legit business set up first. The guy wanted to see what i did and so on. But it was a pretty smooth process.

Take a lesson from the LIBERAL'S book on, "How to Ruin a Legitimate Business".

Seattle.....extra taxes.

PS....mind you that I don't like Seattle politics. Nor do I trust, Portland.
