Welcome. 5-10 minutes top. I always get instant approval. Knock on wood it continues….

Unfortunately the employee said it could take up to a month, and they did not apply the 3 day rule due to it being a "liablity". I was surprised.

I was told today by my local gun shop the que was about 5000 so the wait for approval was running about 3 weeks.

I was told something close to that. If I went to purchase another one would I automatically be put in que again?

Yes, I belive that would be true unless you bought them at the same time

Not necessarily. If you have a CHL the odds of being put in the que are less. Jeannie was in our favorite gun shop Thursday morning and bought two rifles. She went into the que, about 5000 back. Later in the day she decided she wanted a Ruger Standard model they had and that one was cleared immediately. Just after that purchase she decided to get the Blackhawk and Single-Six they had just gotten in. Instant clear for those two also. So in one day she was put in the que for two .22LR bolt-action rifles and got instant approval twice for three different handguns. There really isn't any rhyme or reason to it. Yes she has her CHL.
And welcome to the forum!!
Welcome Aboard. Glad you found the forum.
So, first handgun purchase... congratulations on taking that step in fully exercising your citizenship. As you have heard firm other members, the Oregon CHL does have some bearing on wait time... not always but most times. In the last two years, I think I was put in queue twice in maybe 15 transactions. The majority of the time, I'm instant or 10 minutes tops. Highly recommend that you get the training and get your CHL.
Speaking of training, even if you're former military or LEO, training is always a good idea.

Welcome to the club and glad you found us. Good luck with getting the new firearm and I hope it comes a little quicker than 3 weeks.

It took 3 weeks each on my first 2 handguns. I applied for my CHL and once I got it my third went through in 10-15 minutes. Get your CHL.
