Saw that. Sportsman's is a solid store. Introduced to them in Texas. They closed there and I was thrilled to see them in Oregon. My paycheck is not safe in there. | |||

Here's the email I just got from OFF earlier today. If this is too much I'm happy to remove it. The courtroom’s public gallery immediately erupted with laughter at Marshall’s pledge... 12.03.2022 The Oregonian, which regularly gets everything wrong, got one thing right in their article about yesterday’s hearing on our efforts to stop Measure 114. The courtroom's gallery did erupt with laughter. Towards the end of the hearing, the State’s lawyer, Brian Marshall, told the judge that Oregonians would be able to apply for a permit to purchase by December 8th, when this deranged measure is due to take effect. This is so patently absurd that it’s hard to respond seriously. More on that in a moment. But first, the “outcome” of yesterday’s hearing. Judge Karin Immuergut explained that this is a “very complex” case and promised a ruling by next Monday “Tuesday at the latest”. So at the moment, we still have no resolution. But we hope that her intention to take some time with the facts will lead to a positive conclusion. Meanwhile an update. One of the first things the judge decided was that we would not be allowed to call any of the witnesses that were experienced with firearms both technically and in terms of their use in self defense. This removed the opportunity to allow the judge to learn about the real life and practical elements of firearm’s ownership. It also eliminated testimony from people in the business of selling firearms who could have elaborated on the chaos that is the current system. That left us with only far more esoteric legal discussions that did not fully paint a picture of the damage this measure is doing even now. Furthermore, OFF’s lawsuit is now one of 5 similar cases. A suit by the Second Amendment Foundation and Firearms Policy Coalition was heard along with ours yesterday. While ours included an objection to the “permitting” system SAF/FPCs focused exclusively on the magazine ban. And that element was the one that got the most attention at the trial. Another suit has been filed by National Shooting Sports Federation. While their lawyer was at the hearing, their case was not part of yesterday’s proceedings and it’s unclear when they will get a chance to present their very well crafted arguments. Then, late yesterday, a fourth suit was filed on behalf of Sportsman’s Warehouse. Finally a fifth lawsuit was filed in State Court by Gun Owners of America. Gun Owner’s had previously filed an amicus brief in support of OFF’s lawsuit. How the introduction of these other suits this late in the game will effect the trajectory of this issue is not clear. We anticipate that at least some will be consolidated. Those details are being worked out. While all have taken slightly different approaches, they all make the point that BM 114 is clearly and inarguably unconstitutional. As noted, in spite of the dangers and importance of the proposed “permit-to-purchase” the hearing focused largely on the magazine ban and, as you would expect, the state once again displayed migraine inducing ignorance. They insisted that no one’s rights were being violated when they were forbidden from having a magazine that came, from the factory, with their firearm, because they were still allowed to have it in their home. This would be like telling someone who just bought a 100 acre plot that while they were forbidden from farming, logging, or living on it, they were still allowed to own it so their rights were not impacted. Beyond that, they relied on fabricated statistics about the number of rounds fired in self defense situations claiming that the “average” was only 2.2, and therefore standard magazines were almost never used in self defense situations. The absurdity of this is self evident. Putting aside the fact that this statistic is meaningless , (for example) the notion that because someone did not fire 11 or 12 rounds somehow means their magazine did not contain that many rounds is moronic. Their further suggestion that standard capacity magazines are “dangerous and unusual” begs several questions. What makes 11 rounds more dangerous and unusual that 10? If the purported purpose is to stop mass shootings ( a ridiculous suggestion in the first place) what possible sense does it make to deny a good person the ability to respond to a criminal who can get all the standard magazines he wants on the black market or with a quick trip across state lines? They also claim that magazines are not “arms” at all, only “components” of arms and are therefore not protected by the Second Amendment. But that makes as much sense as saying a trigger group or a rifle barrel is only a “component” of a firearm and therefore you have no protected right to own one. Of course, they simultaneously claim that magazines are not “arms” at all while saying they are “dangerous and unusual arms”. While the Oregon State Police have made the preposterous assertion that the permit system will be ready to go on December 8th, the people who have to actually administer it, the County Sheriffs, have said no such thing. In fact, the Sheriffs have said unequivocally that this is flat out false. While the State Police, under the direction of Kate Brown (no doubt with input from the new and even worse governor) are claiming they will have some kind of “application” ready on Dec 8th, there has not been a word about where people are supposed to take the non-existent and imaginary “classes” required before one can even apply. Nothing was said about the fact that even now, before this garbage goes into effect, 40 thousand people are stuck in limbo, and perhaps an endless loop, trying to legally acquire a firearm. (Well nothing except that those people waiting in line are screwed come Dec 8th.) And while some gun stores are releasing guns without an approval after 3 days, as allowed by law, even that safeguard disappears at midnight Dec 7th. Meanwhile the frauds who brought you this atrocity, “Lift Every Voice Oregon”, were in court in support of their efforts to make sure that countless businesses and their employees will be ruined and out of work just in time for Christmas. We expect them to be celebrating this in their “churches” for whatever holiday they actually have. The landscape is changing rapidly. The introduction of these late lawsuits creates new challenges and new opportunities. But, as always, our first and most important goal has been to put this dangerous and mean spirited measure on ice until we can crush it completely. We’ll share more as it becomes available. Thank you and thank you to the sheriffs who came from across the state to support our efforts yesterday. Stay tuned. | |||

The Latest. Essentially admitted they dreamed this up and it's not possible to implement without severe overhauls. Assholes. 10.04 PM 12.04.2022 The following is the text from a press release just sent out by the Oregon Attorney General: FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: December 4, 2022 State Will Ask for Postponement of Permit Requirement for Gun Purchases SALEM, OREGON—The Oregon Department of Justice (DOJ) informed U.S. District Judge Karin Immergut today that the state will seek a postponement of some of the provisions in Oregon Ballot Measure 114 that require a permit to purchase a firearm. Measure 114 passed on a majority vote of the people of Oregon in November’s general election. The decision to make this request was made only after local law enforcement clarified that they would not be able to process permit applications as soon December 8, when Measure 114 takes effect. DOJ’s letter explained that other parts of the measure should take effect as scheduled, including the process for applying for permits, the restrictions on large capacity magazines, and the requirement that background checks must be completed – and not just requested – before firearms can be transferred (this fixes the ‘Charleston Loophole,’ a gap in the federal system that allows a gun sale to proceed after 3 days, even if the background check has not been completed.) “Postponing the permit requirement by approximately two months should give Oregon law enforcement time to have a fully functional permitting system in place. If Judge Immergut agrees to the postponement, then starting in February anyone who purchases a gun in Oregon will be required to have a permit,” said Attorney General Rosenblum. In their letter to Judge Immergut, lawyers for the DOJ noted that leaders of the Oregon State Sheriffs’ Association and the Oregon Association of Chiefs of Police had submitted sworn statements to the court stating that, on December 8, no one in the state will be able to complete the in-person firearm safety training required by Measure 114. Their statements also discussed other practical difficulties that sheriffs and police, who are responsible for handling permit applications under Measure 114, expect to face. | |||

2 months ain't gonna cut it. It'll take at least a year, IMO, for the processes to be put in place, and that doesn't include the funding for it all. Of course, the LE agencies will probably be told they have to fund it out of their existing budgets, which means taking money - i.e., resources (officers) - away from dealing with actual criminals. | |||

Totally agree. There is 0 money for this and the list of priorities of stuff needed in Oregon is about 1000 before this nonsense. The sheriffs in Jackson County are busy and have real problems. | |||

I foresee serious actions to have SCOTUS declare some or all of that law unconstitutional. Requiring someone to have a permit to buy a firearm surely flies in the face of Bruen and the 2A. flashguy Texan by choice, not accident of birth | |||

Looks like the judge denied the motion to postpone from our side, but granted the 30 day ext from the AG. Doesn't feel like good news. | |||

"The Harney County case was brought by Gun Owners of America, a Virginia-based nonprofit, its legal defense fund Gun Owners Foundation and two Harney County gun owners. Unlike the federal case, their suit in Harney County challenged Measure 114 under Oregon’s constitution, so the federal judge’s ruling has no bearing on Raschio’s order." _________________________________________________________________________ “A man’s treatment of a dog is no indication of the man’s nature, but his treatment of a cat is.

Below is an email I received this morning from our Oregon State Representative. I emailed him asking if current CHL holders would be exempt from the training for a permit to buy firearms, an he said no. That sucks, as I and thousands of others had to take a training class before we could even apply for a CHL. Link to the online version of the email which has a graph and other stuff not in my post. https://content.govdelivery.co...EG/bulletins/33bd16a Federal Court Has Denied the Temporary Restraining Order Requested by the Plaintiffs in the 114 Litigation 1. Early this morning, U.S. District Judge Karin J. Immergut published her Opinion and Order regarding the temporary restraining order that was filed over the implementation of Measure 114. I am very disappointed in her decision to deny the petition and ultimately her order will have the magazine ban portion take effect on 12/8. Her Opinion and Order also has the permitting requirements portion of the measure delayed for implementation by 30 days. You can read U.S. District Judge Karin J. Immergut's Opinion and Order in the link below. https://www.documentcloud.org/...s/23376811-trodenied Prior to her decision, I sent the letter below yesterday afternoon to our County Sheriffs and Oregon Chiefs of Police thanking them for their separate submissions pushing back against the permit requirements within 114. The blatant misinformation at the hearing from the Oregon Attorney General's Office during their testimony was appalling. Their testimony was either complete ignorance or purposely deceitful. Now having U.S. District Judge Karin J. Immergut's disappointing Opinion & Order, I am again grateful to the County Sheriffs and Oregon Chiefs of Police for their submitted testimony. The permitting delay would not have occurred without it. Please see the text of that letter below: 12/5/2022 OSSA Executive Director Sheriff Myers & OACP Executive Director Campbell, I wanted to reach out on behalf of the overwhelming majority of my constituents and thank you for submitting your separate statements on U.S. Court Case on Measure 114 in support of the motion for a temporary restraining order against the new regulations filed by the Oregon State Shooting Association and the National Shooting Sports Foundation. It is because of your efforts, that only two days after the hearing before U.S. District Judge Karin J. Immergut on Friday, where the Oregon Attorney General Office argued that Oregonians will be able to apply for a permit to buy a gun by the end of this week, Oregon’s Attorney General acknowledged that the state is not ready to have a permitting process in place for Measure 114 implementation. As reported in the Oregonian, “In a three-page letter to the court filed at 9:14 p.m. Sunday, Senior Assistant Attorney General Brian Simmonds Marshall conceded that local law enforcement agencies have made it clear that ‘necessary pieces of the permit to purchase system will not be in place’ by this coming Thursday, the date the measure is set to take effect.” It was also reported, “Oregonians should be allowed to continue to buy guns without a permit during a ‘limited window,’ until the state has a full permitting process in place, the attorney general’s letter recommends. Meanwhile, the state will continue to work to get a process up and running, Marshall wrote.” Sunday’s letter from the Oregon AG conceding that the process for permits under Measure 114 will not be ready, and that a stay until February is recommended, is again because of your efforts. The overwhelming majority of my constituents voted against Measure 114. In fact, the majority of only 6 of the 36 counties in Oregon voted in favor of the measure. The majority of my constituents and I feel this measure is not only unconstitutional, but portions of the unconstitutionality of the measure have already been adjudicated by the Supreme Court of the United States. Oregon Attorney General Rosenblum should be advocating for the decisions already made by SCOTUS, rather than playing politics with the constitutional rights of Oregonians. Thank you for your dedicated service to the health, life, and safety of Oregonians. I am again grateful for your service and advocacy on behalf of my constituents and the majority of Oregonians within 30 of our 36 counties. --------------- Gary Will Fly for Food... and more Ammo Mosquito Lubrication Video If Guns Cause Crime, Mine Are Defective....

Ignored facts still exist |
Anyone care to guess when the full hearing/trial will complete which will decide on the final outcome of 114? Is Dec 13th about it, or is this the type of thing which could be delayed for years, or are we only talking a few months at most? Also, does the fed judge saying that 114 could move forward after a 30 day delay hold any precedence on future federal lawsuits? I'm totally unfamiliar with legal proceedings, but I'm disappointed in what the federal judge did. Seems like she could have killed 114 once and for all, but chose not to. ETA: Harney county, where the suit was filed, is bigger than New Jersey (really), and has a total of about 10 LEO's )not counting state troopers, of which there are very few). The county Sheriff's office does not provide 24 hour patrol interesting place for the lawsuit to originate from. . | |||

I’m hoping this will get delayed for ever, but unfortunately, all the judges from Eugene to Portland are liberal judges. I thought judges were supposed to be nonpartisan. I guess not when you live in Portland, the epicenter of stupid. Check out The Cinnabar YouTube channel. He seems to be well connected and is giving updates on Measure 114 about every 2 or 3 days. He’s a gunsmith in Eastern Oregon. --------------- Gary Will Fly for Food... and more Ammo Mosquito Lubrication Video If Guns Cause Crime, Mine Are Defective.... Ted Nugent | |||

And now law enforcement states it isn't clear if they are exempt from it. https://www.foxnews.com/us/ore...its-include-officers Oregon police worry gun permit requirement, magazine limits may include officers Police in Oregon unsure if they are exempt from gun control law Hannah Ray Lambert By Hannah Ray Lambert | Fox News Police officers in Oregon don't know if they will be able to purchase new weapons without a permit or carry their service weapons while off duty if the state's embattled gun control law is allowed to take effect. "It's not clear how existing certified public safety professionals are treated under this ballot measure," Eugene Police Chief Chris Skinner told Fox News. "Both the purchase of weapons and the possession of magazines in excess of 10 rounds, which all of our duty weapons have that." Measure 114 requires a permit to purchase any firearm and bans ammunition magazines capable of holding more than 10 rounds, among other changes. It was supposed to take effect last week, but is currently blocked by a judge in eastern Oregon's Harney County. The measure does include a carve out for military members and law enforcement agencies when it comes to the magazine ban, but "solely for authorized use by that entity related to the official duties of the entity." That has some agencies confused about whether officers will be allowed to take their service weapons home with them. "What does that mean for our off-duty officers that often are asked to, and in some cases by policy required to, be armed off duty as well?" Skinner asked. "There's a lot of those unanswered questions we're hoping to get some clarity around." Linn County Sheriff Michelle Duncan told Fox News her department is looking to purchase 10-round magazines for deputies to carry when they are off duty. "We don’t want them potentially getting a charge in another jurisdiction that could risk their police certification and job so we will look at getting them the lower capacity mags for off duty," Duncan wrote in an email. Law enforcement officials said they don't know of a single training program in the state that currently satisfies all the permit requirements outlined in Measure 114. If and when the law takes effect, they say police may also have to apply for a permit to purchase a gun. "Every person, including law enforcement officers wishing to obtain a permit, will first have to complete training that does not yet exist," Oregon State Sheriffs' Association Executive Director Jason Myers wrote in a court statement. The measure requires instruction on state and federal gun laws, safe storage, the effect of suicide and homicide on communities, how to report lost or stolen firearms, as well as an in-person demonstration of locking, unloading, firing and storing a gun. "Many of our smaller agencies require new officers to purchase their own handguns for use as duty weapons," Oregon Association Chiefs of Police Executive Director Kevin Campbell wrote in a court statement. "Those agencies do not have a current supply of handguns to provide to new officers, and new officers will be unable to purchase a handgun without first obtaining the required training and then obtaining a permit to purchase a firearm." Skinner said he hopes to get more clarity on the law in the coming weeks and is holding off on issuing formal guidelines to officers. "I want to make sure we have as much information as possible instead of constantly having to amend guidance to officers in the field," he wrote in an email Friday. A hearing is scheduled for Tuesday in the Harney County case. My daughter can deflate your daughter's soccer ball. | |||
