OREGON LEGISLATURE Oregon House panel backs bill amending gun background checks bill Comment By The Associated Press MailTribune.com By The Associated Press Posted Jun. 2, 2015 at 5:35 PM By The Associated Press Posted Jun. 2, 2015 at 5:35 PM » Social News SALEM — An Oregon House committee has advanced legislation that makes changes to a bill requiring background checks for most private firearm transfers. The House Judiciary Committee approved a measure Tuesday allowing people to lend firearms to a friend for seven days without having to visit a licensed gun dealer to do a background check. They could instead do a background check by calling the Oregon State Police before lending the gun. The bill amends legislation approved earlier this year, which requires all gun buyers and sellers who aren't related to visit a licensed gun dealer who can run a background check. Both the original measure and the changes made Tuesday were vehemently opposed by gun rights groups and Republicans, but they passed with Democratic support.
