Giving sister a gun in another state ???

Reciprocity is when one state recognizes the driver's license of a resident of another state. You said your sister has lived in Montana for two years. That makes her a resident of Montana, and NOT a resident of Oregon.

Your sister is probably breaking Montana law by not having a Montana driver's license, and she's probably also breaking the law of Oregon by continuing to hold it even though she's not a resident of that state.

I think you should take your gun back to California with you. This whole thing is starting to sound like a slow motion train wreck.

That’s what she went and got today , can she use that and her current valid Oregon DL to do the transfer?

It's handgun. The FFL can't transfer a handgun to someone who is not a resident of Montana. An Oregon driver's license isn't going to help.

And how is the Oregon driver's license "valid" if she's not a resident of Oregon?

I was thinking the voter registration card proves residency and the “valid” Oregon photo ID proves who she is . I know even Im not buying it but thought maybe it would work . I mean she said to get her voter registration card today she just filled out the info ( correctly) and didn’t need to show and or prove any of it and now she has a valid proof of residency oh and can vote :eek: . So you never know how this stuff goes
 
Yes, a valid Oregon driver’s license combined with a Montana voter registration card with her name and current address on it will satisfy the federal requirements for proving Montana residency to an FFL. See post #18.

If she’s breaking Oregon and/or Montana law by not getting a Montana drivers license, that’s a different issue.
 
I feel like this thread is very informative about how not to give a gun to your sister in Montana. No offense to the OP, I hope it works out eventually.

The true "take home" lesson of this thread is that not taking care of business can have unexpected, undesirable consequences.

  • The OP's sister moved from Oregon to Montana intending that Montana would be her new State of residence.

  • Pretty much every State has laws, in some form, to the effect that a resident's driver's license becomes ineffective if that person moves and changes residence to a different State.

  • Every State has laws requiring a new resident who wants to legally drive get a driver's license within some limited period of time after moving (and surrender or destroy any driver's license issued by another State).

  • For whatever reason the OP's sister decided not to take care of those housekeeping chores.

  • So what should have been a simple firearms transfer at an FFL has become a hairball.

Boy ain’t that the truth . My mistake was only asking before I left , do you have a valid ID :rolleyes: . Never thought I needed to be more clear on that . Thanks guys for all your help on this . I'd say I’m mad about all this but I think disappointed would be a more accurate word . :o
 
Well it just didn’t seem right with what I was working with . So I packed it up and I’m taking it back with me . Just not worth the pain that may be put upon me and others . When she gets her photo ID ( oops Montana photo ID ) I’ll send it back up to a local FFL .

Thanks again
