I'm 66 yrs old and am trying to trade some hunting rifles for 4 handguns at a dealer. Made the deal and then the check said I had a delay until November 11!!! I went to the state police office in Salem and they told me this has to do with a misdemeanor arrest back in 1969. I was a stupid 20-year-old that got in a fight with some other kids. Now they need proof that this misdemeanor had nothing to do with domestic violence. The Salem police have nothing on record that old. Now we are waiting because they have to send a written request to Marion County courts to try to find out what the deal was since they won't take my word what it was about. Marion County courts told me that records that old are all on microfilm and it takes weeks to look them up . Now we wish we had put my wife's name on the paperwork since the guns are going to be half hers.
Oregon sucks. This whole deal will probably be canceled since I go south for the winter in a couple weeks.
