I followed Measure 114 with interest. Even more egregious, draconian restrictions than Washington's Initiatives 594,1639 and Senate bill 5078. What's more, there's no way the local police agencies and Oregon State Police will even begin to accomplish what the measure tasks them with, setting up training, a permitting process and databases, prior to the measure's effective date. A permit required from one's local police, just to apply for permission from OSP, to apply to purchase a firearm? Law enforcement has to approve trainers for the mandated safety training -- with no requirements even delineated for qualifications for those who would instruct, how they become "approved" and what exactly the training will consist of?
At least citizens here are still allowed standard capacity magazines (more than 10 rounds) in their carry handguns (of course, presuming they were procured prior to July 1, 2022). Oh, but wait: in Oregon, you'll still be able to take your 10-round-plus mags out for "recreational purposes" and hunting. Just not in your carry pistol when you're stepping over human feces, used hypodermic needles, trash and junkies while trying to avoid the aggressive panhandlers in downtown Portland.
