To get a permit, individuals must go through a safety course, which includes reviewing gun laws and safe firearm storage.
Voters in Oregon narrowly passed a measure that would give the state some of the strictest gun control laws in the U.S.
The law, which passed with 51% of the vote, will mandate individuals to get a permit to obtain a firearm from a gun dealer, gun show or private individual. Transferring a firearm to someone without a proper license will be considered criminal under the new law.The State Police will now be required to keep a database of those with permits.
The law limits the sale of guns with 11 or more rounds to law enforcement and the military in performing their duties.“At a time when violent crime is skyrocketing and police are not responding, this measure will have a devastating effect on our poorest communities and put those in high crime areas in even greater jeopardy,” the organization said.
