Why do so many of you OR residents refuse to sell to WA residents!?!?

I see a lot of ads for guns I would be very interested in buying that have something akin to "no sale to WA residents" or "no WA sales"... I don't get it. If we are willing to pay for shipping, its REALLY easy to ship a gun to an FFL...

Hell, there have been plenty as of late in Portland area. Many of them, I would have driven to Portland to look over the firearm, hand over cash and then have the gun shipped to my local FFL.

I don't sell things to people with a$$-eyes, so that means 98.8% of your typical Washingtonians…..

I have sold 7 rifles to Washington residents. 5 of which I drove up to Vancouver or Hazel Dell. Easier than shipping.

In reality, and on topic, 90% of the time I see something listed here that I want it's in Oregon. Almost every transaction I've taken part in through NWFA classifieds has been with someone from Oregon. It's fairly rare that I see something I want to buy listed by a Washingtonian.

We don't buy guns we're not going to use

Because you drive slow in the passing lane.

Simple.

Washington drivers are miserable no doubt. But come on, man. Compared to Oregon drivers? Oregon drivers make Washington drivers look pretty decent.

Can you say stopping on the Freeway Onramp to wait for an opening in traffic???

Oregon drivers are terrible. And they aren't getting better with time. In fact the exact opposite.

I stand by my statement. 95% of the cars I pass on the right on I-5 have Washington plates.

If you want Oregonians to sell to you, fix the problem.

Knobgoblin · Mar 4, 2023

@pharmseller , those are California transplants. Plates don't tell the whole story. BTW, Canadians are the absolute worst drivers on 101 , or I-5. So we can all direct our venom at the foreigners in unison.

Ultimately, my reasoning for posting was the higher concentration of those who refuse to ship in OR, vs the other states represented on this forum. Not so much of a question of WHY folks won't do it. I get it why *some folks don't want to "bother with shipping". Why is the concentration of those who refuse, so much higher in OR?

Because we hate people from Washington. Didn't you know this? It's pretty well documented.

I'm not sure. I'm from Oregon and I've shipped to Texas. I'm pretty sure my FFL will ship to Washington.

Because Washington people can't drive.

Knobgoblin · Mar 7, 2023

Lol.
Roseburg doesn't even have pavement.
