I've always wondered if there was any rhyme or reason for the variation in approval times. I've never had to wait for a background check. I picked up a new gun yesterday with no wait. Even before I had my CHL, I was buying at one of the black Friday sales. I was told that there was a 2 to 3 hour wait and that they would call me when I could pick up my gun. I started walking away and they immediately yelled for me to come back and get my gun. I got the stink eye from everyone there waiting. It makes me wonder what it says about me in a background check

Checking around the local scenes yesterday yielded that certain locations were still hit.

Sportsmans on 185th had a line and said average wait times were about an hour to hour an a half. He did say veterans were getting approved instantly.

Oregonarms looks like it had been picked clean but had plenty of ammo stock. Online orders is probably the way to go for right now. They did mention they had a que up to 500 or so earlier in the day but by the time I got to sportsmans they said it was between 200-300.

Not sure why, but yesterday when I went in and did a transfer the line was at 400+. I did a trade and wound up getting approved instantly. The other party was added to the queue.

I was there at about 1p yesterday and was told 8 hour wait with my CCW. Wild times we're in

I doubt its only anti-gun people who suddenly saw the light who are panic-buying guns. Not necessarily people with no gun experience either. My guess is its mostly people who do have some gun experience, but no gun. Someone should do an exit poll.

Whoever it is, it ain't us. At least not for the guns. Though a surprising number of NWFAers dont seem to think they have enough ammo or reloading components. Though that may be 'cause some of us think no amount of ammo or components is enough.

I reload for almost all my calibers and I certainly don't have enough components. I might have to re-up before I shuffle off this mortal coil. Once.

April 13, 2020 Hillsboro, OR. about 190 in the line and had to come back about 3 hours later for pickup. Not bad in my opinion with all things considered.

Curious as to how they know your veteran status or was that a joke?

Sunday 05/24/20, noon, #291, after 15 minutes chatting with salesman about 10mm handguns I get an approval. He asked what I did for a living because usually only veterans, LEO's, and people who work at the airport get auto's ahead of the line. Told him I was none of the above, he told me it was my lucky day.

Did anybody here go through firearm purchase yesterday May 30, what was the wait time like?

Reviving this thread to report wait times are back up. At Cut Above Pawn, the wait on Friday was 1170. Today 1700. Plan accordingly when buying and selling.

Lots of info on wait times straight from the horse's mouth:

Oregon - Increase in Firearm Sales and Background Check Issues

I saw this info on OFF’s FB page and just thought I’d pass it along. Tomorrow at 8 am, the Senate Judiciary Committee will be holding a "remote" hearing. You can watch this hearing on line. A link will be posted below in the comments. (You can link to the video in the upper right of that...
