​OSSA Oregon Bill Summary:

OSSA is Oregon’s strongest supporter and enabler for responsible gun ownership.  OSSA enables safe places to shoot, training and shooting sports competitions for new and experienced shooters alike.  
OSSA recommends ”In Favor” for these bills as they support responsible firearms use and improve prior legislation
  • SB 502        SB502 Text         Exempts Confidentiality Program participants from firearms background checks. 
  • SB 503        SB503 Text         Implements Concealed Handgun License reciprocity. 
  • HB 2804    HB2804 Text     Enables Crossbow use in specific cases for hunting.
  • HB 2872    HB2872 Text     Creates tax credit for background check expenses.
OSSA is ”Opposed” to these bills as they enable local municipalities to make their gun laws (eliminates preemption where the State can only implement these laws), or are direct attacks on our citizen’s 2nd amendment rights to “Keep and Bear Arms”.
  • SB 554       SB554 Text          Eliminates preemption, redefines, and bans licensed carry in “public buildings”
  • SB 585       SB585 Text          Eliminates preemption, enables local municipals to make their own gun laws
  • SB 592       SB592 Text          Prohibits lead shot for hunting. Currently allowed for upland bird hunting.
  • HB 2543   HB2543 Text      Enables delayed, no time limit, rejection by no action background check process.
OSSA is ”Opposed” to these bills, as written, as they have serious technical errors that will prevent their ability to implement or function as intended.  As a result, well-meaning, lawful citizens risk being turned into criminals.
  • HB 2510    HB2510 Text     Requires owner or possessor of firearm to secure firearm with trigger or cable lock, in locked container or in gun room except in specified circumstances.
  • SB 604        SB604 Text         Requires person to obtain training, permit before purchasing or otherwise receiving firearm under circumstances requiring criminal background check. 
  • SB 396        SB396 Text         Bans undetectable firearms and includes unfinished, untraceable receivers as actual firearms and thus requiring firearms procedures.
Watch for ongoing updates and analysis of these bills in future posts.  (www.ossa.org/oregon-legislature)
