Traveling Through Oregon...Carry Help.

[luckyrxc]

Hello,
I'm an Idaho CCW'er traveling through Oregon for the week. The reading I've done suggests that I am legal to OPEN carry in my vehicle. I'm not planning to carry on my person in the metro areas so I'm not worried about that. Can anyone confirm my understanding about vehicle carry?

Thank you,

Why don't you call the Oregon AG on Monday and ask what the law is?

http://opencarry.org/or.html and http://www.handgunlaw.us/documents/USOffLimitsN-W.pdf might get you started. Oregon Revised Statutes are at http://www.leg.state.or.us/ors/, if you're wanting to check footnotes.

The first of those sources notes under "Open Car Carry" that "Firearms may be openly carried in cars without any license except where localities have made open carry illegal; however, an Oregon concealed handgun permit holder is exempt from all local open carry bans. To our knowledge, only the cities of Portland, Beaverton, Tigard, Oregon City, Salem, and Independence have passed loaded firearms bans encompassing all public places."
