Gun law in the United States is defined by a number of state and federal statutes. Sale or delivery of firearms is restricted in Oregon like any other U.S. state. In almost all the states of the US, an importer, manufacturer, dealer or collector shall be licensed under the federal Gun Control Act of 1968 to be a lawful seller.
In Oregon, any person who manufactures within the state, or who imports into the state, or offers, exposes for sale, or sells or transfers a handgun, short-barreled rifle, short-barreled shotgun, firearms silencer or machine gun, otherwise than in accordance with ORS 166.250, 166.260, 166.270, 166.291, 166.292, 166.425, 166.450, 166.460 and 166.470, is guilty of a Class B felony[i]. A person who provides false information in connection with a transfer of a firearm commits a class A misdemeanor[ii].
However, the Department of State Police shall develop a form to be completed by a person seeking to obtain a firearm at a gun show from a transferor other than a gun dealer. The department shall consider including in the form all of the requirements for disclosure of information that are required by federal law for over-the-counter firearms transactions. The department make the form available to the public at no cost[iii].
