Completing the 4473 form and the fingerprint form takes about 5-10 minutes.
The 4473 is completed electronically and just must be signed after being completed.
Its a few minutes more to submit the form online and we wait for Oreon state police approval.
If you're instant approved, you're done and out the door.
If you go to 'review' this means the State Police Officer must put eyes on your application before approval. Depending on how many are in the queue, the wait averages between 1-3 minutes per number in the queue.
Delays or long queues can happen during large gun shows, state database outages, peak buying times such as holiday sales.
During a delay, the firearm must remain with the dealer until the process is complete. Once the Officer has finished reviewing your request, they must provide a determiniation within 30 minutes, which can be approved, denied, or delayed with an expected date.
