Oregon Sheriff issues CCWs to California reidents

[divemedic]

Oregon Sheriff Palmer wants to issue you an OR state CCW Permit in CA!

Oregon Sheriff Palmer wants to issue you a non-resident CCW permit in Oregon, and he is going to come to CA to do it. He needs your help, and CGN has stepped up in partnership with GUNPAL to make it happen. Palmer needs $12,000 to purchase a Portable LiveScan machine so he can show up at local CA gunshows and take your applications. The law requires that this be done in person.

I have spoken with Palmer and he is one of the most pro-RKBA men I have ever met in law enforcement or indeed anywhere.

Please dig deep, and contribute whatever you can. Donations to this project are NOT tax-deductible, will be routed through the County’s books, and any money in excess of the cost of the machine will be used on travel expenses.

Please donate via GUNPAL

Checks can be sent to:

Glenn County Sheriff’s Department

Canyon City, Or. 97820

I don't want to be negative about this, but it's a kind of an empty gesture, or as my skeptical mind tells me a portable fingerprint scanner making scheme.

The only local states that honors a non-resident Oregon CCW are Oregon and Arizona. After those two the next nearest are Utah and Idaho. California has no reciprocity agreements, so they can't even carry in their home state with or without this. Also Oregon non-resident CCW's only are valid in

Alaska, Arizona, Idaho, Indiana, Kentucky, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, Vermont.

Whereas Arizona non-resident CCW's are valid in

Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arizona, Arkansas, Delaware, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, Wyoming

Out of the two, Oregon has the advantage of proximity (since Oregon recognizes its own NR CCW, but does not recognize NR AZ CCW's), but Arizona has the advantage of coverage.

But neither let you carry in the PDRCali.

Excellent logic. What do you suppose are his motives? A political statement? A working vacation?

See below... But wrapped in a political statement.

My guess is he thinks that the scanner will be useful for other applications besides taking to gunshows.

Palmer is from Oregon, not California, so he'd be processing through Oregon requirements.

Now I understand what you meant. He's using this as a pretext to gain a 12k computer! I can be a little thick sometimes.

Hey Jorg, sorry, it was badly worded, by local I meant to California, not Oregon.

interesting...

What's his motivation? I lived in Oregon for 6+ years, and AFAIK, they still only issue to non-resident permits to contiguous states (at a sheriff's discretion).

Selfish thought: having family still in OR, WA and CA, and planning visits to OR and WA on a regular basis, I'd prefer that he put his energy toward lobbying to get OR to have reciprocity with other states, rather than "vendoring" at shows...[end of thought].
