(a) The name, address and telephone number of the person making the transfer;(3.)
(b) The make, model, caliber and manufacturer’s number of the firearm being transferred;
(c) The name, date of birth, race, sex and address of the transferee;
(d) The Social Security number of the transferee if the transferee voluntarily provides this number; and
(e) The type, issuer and identification number of the identification bearing the transferee’s recent photograph presented by the transferee and meeting the standards as to satisfactory identification as specified in ORS 166.412(4).
(a) Upon receipt of a request for a criminal history record check under this section, the department shall immediately, during the telephone call or by return call:
(A) Determine from criminal records and other information available to it whether the transferee is disqualified under ORS 166.470 from completing the transfer; and(b) If the department is unable to determine, within 30 minutes, if the transferee is qualified for or disqualified from completing the transfer, the department shall notify the person and provide the person with an estimate of the time when the department will provide the requested information.
(B) Notify the person when a transferee is disqualified from completing the transfer or provide the person with a unique approval number indicating that the transferee is qualified to complete the transfer. The unique approval number is a permit valid for 24 hours for the requested transfer. If the firearm is not transferred from the person to the transferee within 24 hours after receipt of the unique approval number, the person must make a new inquiry.
A deferral of the qualification or disqualification determination may not exceed 24 hours beyond the first telephone inquiry on a particular transfer.
If the department does not acquire objective information, within 24 hours of the first telephone inquiry, that the transferee is disqualified from completing the transfer, the department shall either notify the person that the transferee is qualified or notify the person that the transferee is potentially disqualified, with the opportunity for further investigation by the department to attempt to qualify the transferee.
The person may then notify the transferee of this opportunity.
The transferee may then contact the department and request further investigation to qualify the transfer.
If the transferee does not contact the department, within 72 hours of the first telephone inquiry, to request further investigation to qualify the transfer, the department shall conclude the criminal records check.
This does not prevent the department from continuing an investigation where it has reasonable grounds to believe that the transferee was attempting to engage in an illegal firearm transfer.
(c) If the transferee does request further investigation, the investigation shall proceed until a qualification or disqualification determination is made. Once the investigation is complete so as to allow a qualification/disqualification determination, the department shall proceed as provided in Subsection (7) of this Section.
(d) If the department fails to provide a unique approval number to a transferor or to notify the transferor that the transferee is disqualified under paragraph (a) of this Subsection, within 24 hours of the initial criminal history record check request, the transferor may transfer the firearm.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in paragraph (b) of this subsection, a person who receives notification under this section that a transferee is qualified to complete the transfer of a firearm is immune from civil liability for any use of the firearm from the time of the transfer unless the person transfers the firearm knowing that the transferee is likely to commit an unlawful act involving the firearm.
(b) The immunity provided by paragraph (a) of this subsection does not apply if the person who first transfers the firearm knows that the transferee of the firearm intends to deliver the firearm to a third person whom the first transferor knows may not lawfully possess the firearm.
(a) Where a transferee is found to be qualified to complete the purchase or transfer, the Department of State Police may maintain information about the firearm and the gun dealer or other person transferring the firearm, and information about the purchaser or transferee, that is obtained during a request for a criminal history record check under this act or under ORS166.412, until the criminal history check is completed, the transferor is informed that the check led to a determination that the transferee was qualified for completing the purchase or transfer and the department has mailed the confirmation that the records check was conducted.
Within 24 hours after the department has mailed the confirmation that the criminal records check was conducted and that the transferee was qualified for completing the purchase or transfer, the department shall destroy all records relating to that criminal records check and shall not transfer any such records to any other agency or person.
(b) Where a criminal record check resulted in a further investigation, and the transferee was determined to be qualified to complete the transfer, the transferee may request in writing that this record be maintained, as an exemption to the records destruction requirement, so that the transferee may be more easily qualified in future transactions.
This request is voluntary on the part of the transferee. If such request is made, the department shall maintain the investigation record so long as the request remains in effect. The department shall destroy the record within 24 hours of receipt of written notice from the transferee that the transferee withdraws the record-maintenance request.
(A) May be disclosed to law enforcement agencies for criminal investigation purposes; (B) Concerning specific firearm transactions previously provided by a gun dealer or other person transferring a firearm or by a firearm purchaser may be released to the person providing the information.(5) A person who discloses information in violation of Subsection (4) commits a violation. A person who intentionally misuses information maintained under Subsection (4) or who intentionally grants unauthorized access to such information, or who intentionally obtains unauthorized access to such information, or who intentionally violates the requirements for records destruction in Subsection (2) and (6) of this Section, commits a Class A misdemeanor.
(a) Upon the first conviction for such felony, five years.
(b) Upon the second conviction for such felony, ten years.
(c) Upon the third or more conviction for such felony, 30 years.
