Contested entry

Litigation Status and Details

Measure 114 (2022) would cap magazines at 10 rounds but has never taken effect and remains enjoined. The Oregon Court of Appeals held it facially constitutional (March 2025); the Oregon Supreme Court heard argument in November 2025 and had not ruled as of July 2026.

The statute in practice

Oregon Law in Detail

Measure 114 created a statutory definition for a large-capacity magazine above 10 rounds and would regulate manufacture, importation, possession, use, purchase, sale, and transfer. Its exceptions include specified permanently altered devices and certain tubular magazines.

The measure has not become operational while state-court litigation proceeds. The Oregon Court of Appeals reversed the trial-court judgment in March 2025; readers should verify the latest appellate mandate and injunction before treating the codified text as operative.

What it means for you

Practical Notes

Do not infer current enforceability merely because Measure 114 appears in the compiled Oregon Revised Statutes. Court orders, mandate status, and the permit system's operational status all matter.
