OSP says gun sales stay same, for now; launching Measure 114 ‘Permit to Purchase’ webpage with early info

SALEM, Ore. (KTVZ) -- While the state of Oregon appeals a Harney County judge's injunction blocking implementation of Ballot Measure 114, Oregon State Police said gun sales continue to be processed under current state law, and they are launching a web page to give the latest information on the "permit to purchase" system's information.

Here's the OSP announcement Wednesday afternoon:

The OSP’s Firearms Instant Check System (FICS) unit will continue to work to process and resolve the pended/delayed FICS transactions. This delay of implementation will allow firearm sales to continue being processed under the current law.

OSP continues to work with our partners to set up the Oregon Permit to Purchase program with our partners at the Oregon State Sheriff’s Association (OSSA) and the Oregon Association of Chiefs of Police (OACP).  OSSA and OACP are still working through the training requirement portion of the application process. 

At this time, Permit Agents are not able to accept or start processing Permit to Purchase applications. On December 8, 2022, OSP will be launching a “Permit to Purchase” webpage with preliminary information such as the Permit to Purchase Application, a description of the steps for acquiring a permit, as well as other information including answers to questions that we are anticipating.

The Oregon State Police recognizes the impact this measure will have and is working diligently through this very complex measure to provide everyone with the most up-to-date information.
