Text treats multiple-gun possession as aggravated firearm crime

A person with a felony conviction who possesses or controls a firearm commits an offense; certain cases count as aggravated possession. The text covers felony convictions under Oregon, another state, or federal law. Aggravated possession applies when the person possesses or controls at least three firearms, or commits the firearm offense with at least one prior conviction under this section. A person with only one felony conviction may qualify for an exception if the felony did not involve homicide or specified weapons and imprisonment, parole, or probation ended at least 15 years before the alleged firearm offense. The exception also applies to people granted specified legal relief or whose records were expunged. A conviction does not count as a felony under this section if the court treated it as a misdemeanor at judgment, or if it was for marijuana possession before January 1, 1972. The text gives no start date; it describes the offense at the time a person possesses or controls a firearm.

The text assigns a higher felony class to aggravated firearm possession and directs the commission to place it in a higher sentencing category in specified cases. These penalties and sentencing categories apply to the firearm offenses described in the text. The text classifies ordinary firearm possession as a Class C felony and aggravated possession as a Class B felony. Aggravated possession is sentencing category 7, except it is category 8 if the person possesses or controls at least six firearms, or has at least three prior convictions under this section.

The text treats possessing certain restricted weapons, or carrying a dirk, dagger, or stiletto, as a misdemeanor for a person with a felony conviction. It covers people with felony convictions under Oregon, another state, or federal law. The listed weapons include spring- or force-opening blades, certain clubs or knuckles, and an electric disruption device.
