It's being held by my FFL until it's cleared, or I decide to do something else! It's paid for, so it's up to me how to proceed if I don't get it cleared by weekend! This also dove tails into what the Sheriff wants to do if it dosnt clear. At that point he will seize the weapon and then hold it until we get resolution one way or another, and this frees up my FFL who is innocent of anything, and has been more then acomadating through this whole mess!
Down to #162, not holding any breath, until it's In my hands, it ain't over! And of course, there is another gun show this weekend, so naturally the O.S.P. will be swamped! As I was typing out the above, my FFL texted me to come and get the Rifle, cleared or not, it's long past any reasonable ( as per the LAW) wait, and he will take responsibility for things and stand up to the state if they get snippy about it, so off we go! Bonus is we can then stop at the little brew hause we love up in Silverton and knock back a few pints of stout! Will also call my Sheriff and let him know that I have the rifle regardless of the States finding, which I know he will support! Still, at this point it's best to let him know!
Like I posted in the opening, I suspect the Gov'ness has ordered her O.S.P. jack boots to slo-walk the back ground checks as a slap to the face of the people for voting down the mandatory waiting period, and thus, getting what she wants despite the law! Even if she is held accountable nothing will actually happen to her ya know, like kicked out of office, arrested, and tossed in jail for violating the people's rights! Kind of like when the O.S.P. got caught lying about not keeping an illegal regrestry, after doing it anyway, and then the Gov'ness ordering them to keep on keeping them illegally after they got caught! Yea, this is Oregon, where the laws are only for you and me, not the elites!
So even before the change you had to do a NICS check even with your CCL? In NC with a CCL you just fill out the 4473. No NICS call, no pistol permit. (NC still has a hundred year old Jim Crow law on the books requiring $5 pistol purchase permits, approved by the County Sheriff, but our Congress is working on repealing that.)
Correct, normally, a CHL is an automatic proceed, just fill out the 4473 with finger prints, and off you go! Up until about the April before last that is, now, ALL 4473s have to be submitted and await clerence, which even then is supposed to be instant as it's all done electronically, until now, and there is no explanation as to why a CHL dosnt instantly clear or why even a few min wait!
Ok, picked up the rifle last night, signed for it and i'm good to go, checked the Que and i'm currently at #68 as of 9.00 a.m. and nearly @ 2.00 P.M. hasn't even moved! Regardless, I am now in possession of my property and will not wait to hear back from the state to exercise my god given rights! Still meeting with the Sheriff on monday for cofveve, and will see what he has to say! I did message him that I was picking up the rifle and he replied that that was fine with him!
The OSP has NOT been our friend since the Democrats took over decades ago. I'd MUCH rather deal with local or county LE than the Staters. They were caught keeping the illegal registry not once but twice and LIED both times. The Governor's XO to keep a de facto registry is contrary to the Oregon Constitution and requires both the legislature AND the people to change. If the OSP followed the law they would tell her to stuff it, but to the we the people are the enemy and it shows.
I have one of the best Sheriffs in the State, and that's saying something! Sheriff Joe Kast is about as good as they come, and is a stand up guy who doesn't take crap from the O.S.P. or the state! I know he has told the Gov'ness to stuff it more then once and if he can find proof/enough evidence here, he WILL act within his powers! I know many of his deputies, and ALL are stand up folks, the kind you want in your community! Hell, even our city LEO are all stand up folks, even the Chief!
