I'm going to be taking a road trip to Oregon from Texas this summer. With my Texas and Florida licenses, I can legally carry concealed all the way to Idaho. However once I hit Oregon, I can't. I can't get an Oregon license because I don't live in a contiguous state. So open carry is the only way I can legally carry at all.
After perusing packing.org and the Oregon carry laws, it appears open carry is legal everywhere except "public buildings", and two cities that have banned open carry (Portland and Beaverton). I'm not planning to go to either city, so that's not a problem.
However, I've got several questions. First, how common is open carry? More importantly, how do LEOs generally view it? How much, if at all, would I get hassled?
