Carry question

[jeeper1]

I live in Washington and I am planning on visiting Oregon in August to view the eclipse. How can I legally carry a gun with me?
I expect to drive there in my pickup and at some point get out of my pu to view the eclipse.
Since I don't have an Oregon carry permit I don't know how or if I can ever carry my pistol.
Some advise would be greatly appreciated.

Oregon does not appear to have reciprocity with Washington in regards to state permits per Washington Attorney General's Office.

• Carry permits are required for either handguns or long guns per ORS 166.291
• Carrying of a concealed firearm is prohibited by ORS 166.250, however holders of a valid Oregon Concealed Handgun License are exempt from this law per ORS 166.260.

Oregon appears to be a 'non reciprocating state' according to the map at the bottom of this page

Wish I had better news for you

I was more interested in OC.

Open carry is legal in Oregon even without an Oregon Concealed Handgun License, per OpenCarry.com. Oregon does not appear to have statewide preemption however, so there may be a patchwork of regulations that you may unwittingly run afoul of.

I was planning to enter Oregon on either I-5 or I-205 and go about 50 miles south to a rest area. Then watch the eclipse from there and then return home.

If I understand you then I can OC while doing that.

I wouldn't put too much trust in that little basket . All I know is what little I gleaned from a bit of online research and I have no idea what regulations may be in force wherever that rest area might be. It may even be a prohibited area according to the local township, I dunno.
