Elijah R.L. Brown, Attorney

Oregon State Police has directed that set-asides (commonly known as "expungements") are no longer being recognized for firearm transfer purposes. It's likely if you have petitioned the court for a set-aside recently, you will not be able to purchase a firearm.

To be clear, this is not law. It is an agency decision that will be challenged in court. Further, what the state is doing directly violates the court order issued to the Oregon State Police in every set-aside, which directs them to seal and set-aside the record of arrest and conviction.

Per the Governor’s Order, masks are required for visitors to the office.

Juvenile Delinquency and Dependency cases are still being held remotely unless otherwise noted.

If your court date is in-person, the courts are requiring masks irrespective of vaccination status.
