Attention Oregon Firearm Customers

Expect Significant Delays

Update as of 12/16/22

  • The Oregon State Police (“OSP”) backlog for firearm background checks remains significant and delays are very possible.
  • Sportsman’s Warehouse requires the OSP background check fee ($10.00) to be paid in advance of your firearm purchase.
  • If a customer is delayed (background check goes into the OSP “queue”), Sportsman’s Warehouse will give the customer the option to ‘wait in the queue’, but will require a deposit for the full price of the firearm.

Update on OR Ballot Initiative as of 01/05/2023

  • Permit to Purchase:
    • As of January 05, 2023, the Firearm Permit to Purchase Requirement within Measure 114 remains blocked by a Harney County temporary restraining order (“TRO”) and other pending court cases.
    • The next known court hearing is scheduled for February 22, 2023.
    • OR state officials have asked the court to delay the permit requirements of Oregon Measure 114 until March 07, 2023.
  • Full Capacity Magazines:
    • As of January 05, 2023, a Harney County, OR preliminary injunction on Ballot Measure 114’s large capacity magazine prohibition remains in place until a trial is held.
    • Full (“high”) capacity magazines and firearms equipped with the same remain legal to purchase in Oregon at this time.

    • We will continue to monitor this situation very closely and provide updates as they become available.
