Today even CCW holder have to await clearance from local law enforcement for each and every purchase of any kind of handgun. Because, well, you know - just cuz a guy has a CCW doesn't mean he already owns a handgun, nor does it mean he has already been pretty thoroughly vetted by the state... Nope. Each and every purchase - snail mail (it's the law) the application (no delivery receipts allowed) to local law enforcement and await an answer. Which is also snail mailed back, by law.
Anyway, congratulations - both on your purchase, and how you were able to purchase with a minimum of hassle. I'm somewhat surprised Oregon has not followed our lead. I suppose it's coming, in time.

I was talking to the spoon shop owner about that. He thinks WA is way worse than OR, as far as spoon laws. That was interesting to me as I am hatching a plan to move to WA in the next few years.
You pretty much have to have a CCW to buy a spoon without too much hassle in OR. Otherwise the wait for checks is months long. I’m probably getting a C&R license soon. Most of my interest is in older spoons anyway.
