Oregon Firearm Laws

What are Oregon’s gun laws? Well, that’s a complex question.

The large body of law that makes up all the rules, regulations, and laws generally concerning the manufacture, possession, purchase, sale, transfer, and use of firearms in Oregon consists of:

• The Oregon Constitution
• The Oregon Revised Statues (ORS)
• The Oregon Administrative Rules (OARs)
• Cases from the Oregon Supreme Court
• Cases from the Oregon Court of Appeals
• Cases from the Oregon Circuit Courts
• Various Oregon County Codes
• Various Oregon Municipal Codes
• Civil Law Between Companies and Individuals (such as products liability, torts, and contracts)

It’s important to keep in mind that Federal law also has a great deal to do with the regulation of firearms. Some examples of Federal law which also affect Oregon gun laws are:

• The United States Constitution
• United States Code (USC)
• The Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) — including rules from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF)
• U.S. District Court for the District of Oregon
• United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit
• Supreme Court of the United States
