Purchasing a handgun in Oregon ?

GregM · 12-27-2009, 04:23 PM

I live in Washington and have a concealed carry permit. I have a couple questions.

Can I buy a revolver in Oregon?
How long is the wait?
Any hassles?
Anyone know any Cimarron dealers in Portland?
Where would be a cheap place to order from?

Thanks

its instant background check
i dont know the answers to your other questions i live in central oregon

You can not buy a pistol in another state from a FFL holder (gun dealer) and take it home with you. You have to have it shipped to a dealer in Washington and then go threw the normal transfer paperwork and pay whatever fee the FFL holder charges for the transfer.

Nope.... just as Cuervo stated..You can not buy a pistol in another state from a FFL holder (gun dealer) and take it home with you.

But check around at gun clubs and forums, lots of good ffl guys, some may only charge ya $5 for the trouble...

on the plus side, if you do buy a gun in oregon the wait is only about 10 minutes for the background check

I've waited 60 days in Oregon and still no Taurus 24/7 OSS... they say they will get it done.. My question to htem was when? They have no idea. I think I'll send them the bill...

i had something similar happen to me, and learned the state police can hold off as long as they wish and don't need to give a reason, but mine was for my AR lower...
no one seems to care about this until it happens to them. i feel your pain...

He could technically buy a gun in Oregon as long as he had it shipped to an ffl in Washington who would then do his BGC. The ffl would charge a transfer fee and the $10 bgc

Then why not just buy it from a WA Dealer? The transfer fee is then a non-issue.

Unless it's "the last one in the world available" or some fancy collector's item, why go out of state to purchase a firearm that has hundreds, if not thousands, of the same product right where he lives?

I agree. It's just easier (and cheaper) to look locally.
