Oregon Measure 114 Training

Welcome to the Oregon Firearms Purchase Permit Training Center

MEASURE 114 SUMMARY

Oregon voters approved Measure 114 which will require a person to obtain a purchase permit before buying a gun.

To get a permit, you will need to complete classroom (or online) training AND do a live demonstration of your ability to lock, load, unload, fire and store a firearm.

THIS COURSE COVERS THE CLASSROOM PORTION OF THE REQUIRED TRAINING ONLY; NOT THE LIVE DEMONSTRATION.

Purchase Permit Training

Mr. Dickens offers live 1.5-hour training classes that covers the three classroom training topics needed to apply for an Oregon Purchase Permit and also covers the required training to get an Oregon Concealed Handgun License.

Participants will obtain a Certificate of Training for both Measure 114 classroom training requirements and CHL training requirements.

COURSE COST

$60.00 per person (Certificate will be emailed after training).

Measure 114 has been referred to as the strictest gun control law in the nation. There are two major components. The first is a requirement to obtain a firearms purchase permit before being allowed to buy a gun. The other is a prohibition (with some limited exceptions) on large capacity magazines.
