Hers's the link to the Oregon law: https://www.oregonlegislature.gov/bills_laws/ors/ors166.htmlMy understanding is that anyone can call for a stolen gun check but that the FICS is only for FFL. When I check their website it says they provide services for FFL in the state but nothing about private individuals. Do individuals call the same phone#?
Here's the beginning of the section on private transfers at gun shows: 166.436 Firearm transfers by persons other than gun dealers; criminal background checks authorized; liability. (1) The Department of State Police shall make the telephone number established under ORS 166.412 (5) available for requests from persons other than gun dealers for criminal background checks under this section.
Here's the section about stolen gun checks: 166.421 Stolen firearms; determination; telephone requests. The Department of State Police may respond to a telephone request from any person requesting that the department determine if department records show that a firearm is stolen.
For both of the citations, I've only quoted parts of them. For the full text, you'll need to actually read the statute.
I get rather frustrated when I continually see this discussion, but have to remind myself that, before I became involved with this issue, I was unaware of the laws. My apolagies to anyone offended by my harshness. I feel that at this stage of the legal fight, we realy need to be aware of the real laws to be a part of the discussion.
