Gun laws in Oregon

Gun laws in Oregon regulate the manufacture, sale, possession, and use of firearms and ammunition in the state of Oregon in the United States.

In the November 8, 2022 general election, voters approved Oregon Ballot Measure 114, with about 50.6% voting in favor and 49.4% opposed. The measure creates a new permit that would be required to purchase or acquire a firearm. County sheriffs would accept permit applications, and the state police would conduct background checks, which would be stricter than the current checks. Applicants would need to complete an approved training course, submit fingerprints, and pay a $65 fee. Additionally, the ballot measure bans the sale, transfer, or importation of magazines that can hold more than ten rounds of ammunition. There have been a number of legal challenges to these provisions, and several judicial rulings have blocked the implementation of Ballot Measure 114 for now.
