The article said the assault had happened a few weeks prior. Can someone purchase a gun anymore in a couple of weeks?
Even in Canada you can same day as long as it’s unrestricted, so a shotgun would be a good way to go.
Yeah, private sales are legal in Oregon. Just find an ad in The Courier, call the guy, buy the weapon, you’re good to go. No registration required, though the legislature’s trying to stop that.
Some people photocopy the ID, as it’s not legal to sell to a non-Oregonian and you want proof you checked.

It takes about 15 minutes in Oregon, depending on how crowded the gun store is. That includes the time to run the credit card.
Even if you are a certified NUTCASE; they’ll sell you a BALLBAT!
