What?! What's going on there?
Heard it on Lars Larson radio today. Oregon has their own instant background check when purchasing a firearm. Instead of the dealer going through the FBI for a free background check he goes through Oregon State police for a $10 fee and they do the free FBI check for you.
Evidently this last weekend, during some big gun shows, and through the last couple days, no approvals for purchase were made. The law states that if an answer does not come within three days the dealer can turn the gun over to the buyer. The state, however, has warned dealers not to turn any guns over to buyers.
Lars is a big 2nd amendment conservative and will keep on top of this. Computer problems? State officials flexing their sphincters? Trial run???
Just checked the State Police website. Turns out it was a phone company equipment failure. Everything supposedly working again:)
Had a lot of concerned citizens there for awhile.
