In ruling Wednesday, the Oregon Court of Appeals approved a measure that would further regulate the purchase of firearms and ammunition across the state.

The opinion finds Ballot Measure 114 is constitutional. This overturns a 2023 decision from an Eastern Oregon judge who found it violated Oregon law.

“We conclude that all of Measure 114 is facially constitutional,” the court wrote in an 25-page opinion published Wednesday.

Despite a green light from the state’s appeals court, the voter-approved initiative won’t go into effect immediately. The decision is likely to be appealed.

Ballot Measure 114 bans purchases of magazines that can hold more than 10 rounds of ammunition. It also requires a permit before purchasing a firearm.

The measure was narrowly approved by voters in 2022, and has faced a number of legal challenges since. Shortly after passing, Harney County residents Joseph Arnold and Cliff Asmussen sued to block the law from taking effect.

In 2023, Harney County Circuit Court Judge Robert Raschio ruled that it violated the state constitution. Attorneys with the state Department of Justice appealed the ruling, arguing that Raschio’s decision was “erroneous” and that the Oregon constitution allows for reasonable restrictions on firearm sales.

Measure 114 has also faced scrutiny in federal court.

U.S. District Court Judge Karin Immergut ruled in a separate case that the measure is permitted under the U.S. Constitution. Immergut, who was appointed by President Donald Trump during his first term, found that the measure’s permitting system did not violate the Second Amendment and that large capacity magazines “are not commonly used for self-defense, and are therefore not protected by the Second Amendment.”

That ruling was appealed to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, but has been on hold while considering a similar law out of California. That statute, which deals with large capacity magazines, will likely be appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court. The high court’s decision will likely have implications for Oregon’s law.

LAS VEGAS – There’s no time like March.

Kennedie Shuler hit her third game-winner of the year, and Oregon State stunned top-seeded Gonzaga in a dramatic 63-61 victory on Monday to punch its ticket to the Credit Union 1 WCC Basketball Championship game.

Shuler sunk a layup with 0.8 seconds left to lift the Beavers (18-15) past the Bulldogs in a back-and-forth battle. Oregon State trailed 61-59 with eight seconds left before Catarina Ferreira calmly knocked down two free throws to tie the game. On Gonzaga’s second-to-last possession, the Beavers forced a turnover, setting up Shuler’s decisive shot.

Ferreira led OSU with 19 points and nine rebounds, shooting 3-of-4 from three-point range and 8-of-8 from the free-throw line. The game was her second-straight with 19 points after leading the Beavers in scoring against San Francisco on Sunday.

AJ Marotte added 15 points with 13 in the second half, while Kelsey Rees contributed 11 points, four rebounds, and two assists.

The Beavers started strong, jumping out to a 17-9 lead in the first quarter behind hot perimeter shooting. Gonzaga responded with a dominant second period, outscoring OSU 23-10 to take a five-point halftime lead. Oregon State clawed back in the third, holding the Bulldogs to just 12 points while closing the gap to two entering the final frame.

Defense proved critical down the stretch, as OSU limited Gonzaga to 38.3% shooting and forced 13 turnovers. The Beavers also hit a season-high 11 three-pointers at a 42.3% clip.

Conference player of the year Yvonne Ejim paced the Bulldogs with 18 points and 14 rebounds, but the Beavers’ defensive adjustments in the second half slowed her impact and forced her to take 19 shots to get to 18 points.

Oregon State now advances to the WCC Tournament championship game against Portland. The game tips off on Tuesday at 1 p.m. on ESPN2.
