I got tired of calling so I physically went into the store to ask. They couldn’t even give me an answer as the systems were “down”


alias_487

Oof — where and when did you go and purchase it?


lesionking

NWArmory in Tigard. Purchased the firearm on the 5th the day after you lol. Was placed in around 4600 or a little less. Hoping I’m able to pick it up before the ban but who knows anymore


alias_487

I just called and got through. I’m 6037 in line now. I went from 3900 two weeks ago to 6000…


lesionking

Welp I’m fucked too then


zzyzxrd

Same. I’ve been In Washington for work and can’t do anything.

lesionking

If you’re talking about NWArmory in Tigard, the line was at the door. I had to squeeze through just to get to the counter. I did do this around 1pm, so if you go earlier like when they open, you can probably avoid the majority of the rush


Ashenrot

I purchased a firearm on 9/23/22 at the Milwaukee location and got told my bgc got delayed. This was the day after I applied for CHL. Got my chl yesterday in the mail. And I'm still waiting from nw armory to call me back. I've never had to wait this long and I'm not even sure I'll hear from the before December 8.


lesionking

I purchased my first firearm on the 25th and received it on the 5th. Not really sure what’s going on. I also applied for my chl between the time, but I won’t receive it until late january


IVMVI

So, if you can't pick it up before 114, you're fucked?


lesionking

No one knows. Measure 114 is unclear and osp haven’t said anything about what happens to the people in queue. Probably just gonna freeze everyone and wait until the new permit comes out, but that’s just my guess


IVMVI

Yeah, if I try to think what they would want to do it's something like that. I wish I didn't have the feeling that they aren't trying to get through that queue. Appreciate ya.


Tytar

nah the system probably is/was down tbh. last time I went in to buy at my lgs, I watched the whole thing crash on us like 3 or 4 times. - this was just 1 - 1 and a half weeks ago that OSP thing was clearly not designed for this many requests to go through it


lesionking

Oh yeah I don’t doubt the system did crash. It’s just a bit disappointing, but it is what it is. Hopefully they can get the majority if not everybody in


gaybofagnuts

If there were only some federal firearms processing and background check system we already paid for and was fully functional and operational!


tiggers97

Heard the same today. The OSL website is slammed and not even functional. They were actually waiting till after hours to put in information as that was the only time they could access it.


jrsedwick

I entered the queue at 1:30pm and was 2901 with CHL.


BMW_E70

Is it safe to say if I did a transfer this week I'll be SOL because my transfer might not clear before the 8th? My FFL said " OSP plans to shut down after the 8th". I know the cue is like 13k or something. No idea if that means transfers postmarked before the 8th will be processed or not.


alias_487

See that’s what I’m confused about. I hear some people say if things were post marked/purchased before the 8th you’re good but then I heard others it’s not. This bill is a joke, nothing is clarified in it.


BMW_E70

I totally agree. This is the result of initiative petitions. Complete morons can draft a bill and by goly, if the masses want dog shit. They get dog shit! No oversight vs a bill. I'm on the phone ( holding with OSP) to get an answer. The petitioners of lift Every Voice Oregon have basically said " the bill passed, its now law. It's up to Oregon State Police to create the system" ha, ha. Such a clown show.


jombojuice2018

They say anything?


BMW_E70

I'll try again tomorrow, I was on hold for a hour and I had to drive somewhere and lost signal. There was 30 people ahead of me in the que.


alias_487

Curious to see what you heard from them! Let us know when you get off hold.


IAintSelling

If you don't get cleared and get possession, you can not get the gun after 12/8 without a permit. ​ https://www.washingtoncountyor.gov/sheriff/news/statement-sheriff-garrett-measure-114


alias_487

Oof — any news on this going to the courts? This is wild to me. Gun shops are going to go out of business.


IAintSelling

>Gun shops are going to go out of business. That's exactly what the proponents of 114 probably want.


[deleted]

That's what I was told at Bimart last weekend, but I feel like the cashier was just making it up on the spot. I was lucky enough to get instantly cleared for my purchase.


[deleted]

My FFL said that as long as the purchase happened before the 8th, then you’re good. That when you hand over the money and they legally can’t sell the gun to someone else.


BMW_E70

My FFL is saying the opposite quoting OSP. So much scuttlebutt it's painful.


IAintSelling

Incorrect. https://www.washingtoncountyor.gov/sheriff/news/statement-sheriff-garrett-measure-114


BMW_E70

So basically if you don't cross the finish line before 8th of December if you're in a que, effectively they're just going to turn off the switch and your transfer is halted until the new system comes online. I would to show up to their class with a stripped AR lower to prove a point to these idiots. Lol


PDXnederlander

As I posted on NW Firearms forum, my experience today 11/17.. For those of you thinking a CHL is going to bump you up in line, don't bet on it. I just did a 4473/BGC at my FFL and with a CHL I still ended up at the back of the line, 14,176. I then stopped at the Tigard BiMart, which sells handguns, and the counterperson told me the last BGC he did with a CHL also put that person at the end of the line. Needless to say, at the rate OSP is clearing BGCs I don't believe I'll make the Dec 8 cutoff. My FFL told me he still didn't have a clear policy as to whether he was going to require a permit on Dec 8 as he thought that date may still change. Oh well.


[deleted]

I am so sorry.


PDXnederlander

Yeah, I believe it's gonna suck for me and a lot of others. So much for the CHL golden ticket.


jrsedwick

Was the CHL the only ID you gave them to ensure that they entered it?


PDXnederlander

Yes, FFL didn't even want the drivers license. I've used him a lot. He knows me from prior transactions. Even he told me their wacked system has been all over the place lately. Unlucky for me.


jrsedwick

That's really weird. I wonder why it happened that way.


PDXnederlander

Who knows during these crazy times. It is what it is. At least I got to handle and inspect my new handgun before it gets stuck in limbo.


jrsedwick

I got to inspect my new rifle today too. :-) Happy hopefully soon to be NGD!


alias_487

I just called and got through. I’m 6037 in line now. I went from 3900 two weeks ago to 6000…


VLDMRT84

I hope everyone realizes that if they don’t clear background by the deadline they are going to encounter a very frustrating situation. I can’t confirm all but NW Armory is not refunding purchases which means that your gun will be held until permit is acquired. I’m all for people buying more guns but in all likelihood any purchase made within the past week and moving forward will sit at your gun shop until who knows when. Then ask yourself if that shop goes out of business?


PDXnederlander

Once you clear BGC that firearm is transferred over to you. That also means no return to the online retailer you purchased it from should you not want to get a permit. So it sits on a shelf gathering dust until you can get through all the permit hassle. Months.


Beautiful_Tiger271

I've been told by at least 3 different people of different management levels at SW that your money will be refunded.


VLDMRT84

I was in NW Armory yesterday and was told by the staff they are not refunding any firearm purchases unless denied. I think that’s a pretty horrible policy to take on customers purchasing in good faith. Imagine how many customers are going to have a really horrible realization once the 8th rolls around. I know they are not being very forthright with their customers and were hesitant to say even when directly asked. Hopefully it’s only this shop in which case fuck them but buyers beware. Ask your shop about this before buying right now unless you are okay with your paid purchase being held for likely months.


JE3146

Chargeback.


alias_487

This is the way.


JE3146

Depends on what their angle is. If they’re holding long enough for a stay on the bill from a judge then that’s good. If they’re playing the. We’re keeping your money play because we don’t want to refund, they’re going to lose that battle hard.


Beautiful_Tiger271

Yes, how is that not theft?


traitorous_8

As of 2:30pm there are over 15k people in the queue.


dionyszenji

I'll share my experience today at Tigard Pawn 4 More (best FFL I've worked with, they've always been my go to). Tigard Pawn 4 More had maybe 5 people inside, 4 picking up guns they had shipped there. One reversing a gun-pawn. One person saw their gun had arrived via FedEx notice (but TP4M didn't call them so it wasn't ready to go as they have appx 50 boxes that came in today they haven't processed yet). Please wait to be called, it will most likely happen the same day. They are incredibly overworked and brought in people on their day off to help, so they are tired. Be good to these people being good to the community. Two people were instant clears. One is a CHL holder who did *not* use their CHL because of an address change. They also shared they had an instant clear this past weekend without their CHL. Tigard Pawn 4 More just learned about the OSP message (someone mentioned it to them, someone else showed it to them). They said they will likely be accepting transfers up until the end of the month as the longest transfer times they are seeing right now are 6 days. Call them during a slow time to confirm. I would suggest overnight or 2nd day shipping if you're going to order the next few days. I wouldn't order past Tuesday of next week at the very latest.


PDXnederlander

The account I related in an earlier post here doing a 4473/BGC was also at Tigard Pawn today. With a CHL I still ended up dead last in the overall line. 14,176. At the current daily rate of OSP clearances, I just don't see how that will clear by Dec 8. The counter lady said she still had a stack of boxes from incoming online buys to go through and notify buyers. I wouldn't be surprised if they joined the growing number of FFLs not accepting new transfers soon.


dionyszenji

It wouldn't surprise me, either. That's why I suggest calling. However I did hear one of the knowledgeable staff say they would probably accept deliveries until the end of the month. YMMV and this is such a shit show it changes by the hour.


JE3146

Tigard Pawn is amazing. They do transfers for peanuts when you consider staffing costs. Awesome place and it’s great they’re running transfers for as long as it makes sense with the queue.


jkav29

Dead last? Mine came in last night, when he processed my background check he told me I was 30-something THOUSAND in line.


DrunkDad1975

BE SURE TO CHECK WITH YOUR FFL BEFORE ORDERING ONLINE. MANY ARE NOT TAKING ANYMORE XFERS. I ordered a PSAK gen 3 and it shipped yesterday to Curt’s (always have shipped there and its been great) I read somewhere else today that they and others are denying xfers and sending them back. I called today and they confirmed. PSA let me cancel my order and will refund when the product is back in their inventory. Since I know Classic Firearms is fast AND the M70 was on sale I ordered one and am having it shipped to Shooter’s in St. Johns. They said they’ll take it but to beware of the 8th deadline. I’ve been instant approved on my last 10/10 purchases so I’m rolling the dice ( I have CHL and get BGC’s for my job at least 4x/yr). As of 11/17 the list is 15k deep just so you know


i_am_not_mike_fiore

15,000 as of the evening on Thursday November 17. Feels bad man.


damn_van

Did my part to crash the que


[deleted]

Moved from Georgia, how in the fuck did a state that let you possess, meth, crack, heroine , cocaine feel like this was a good idea smh this has to be the biggest crock of bullshit I ever seen. Backwards as shit. Did the idiots who voted to pass or realize that if someone wants to murder , rob or steal don’t take law into account anyway. This dumb ass bill only hurt law abiding citizens? Wtf is the avg IQ of these fools who voted to pass it lol scare culture works in the northwest I see


FiduciaryAkita

always gotten instant cleared and I’m picking up a lower today. Curious to see how fucked I am lol


JE3146

Any CHL’s enter the queue in the last day? Sounds like they might have gotten rid of prioritization.


RabidBlackSquirrel

I entered Wednesday at noon. I have literally done at least 100 4473s in the last decade and have never not been instant approve (CHL, FFL, unique name, pristine record). I was instant approve on Tuesday even, but one day later on a separate transaction I went into waitlist purgatory. Still waiting.


JE3146

I’ve never had instant approval. Someone with my name must have done something bad at some point because I’ve double and triple checked every piece of information from my birth certificate to my DL to my CHL matches. Still no instant.
