Have to travel to Portland, Oregon next week - I don't go into OR unless I have to, so I never bothered with getting licensed for concealed carry there. And like things tend to go, I'm forced for personal reasons to stay in Portland for a while. I've little time to look into the laws, but I know I can't CC, and I'll be traveling with family members that are not ok with me keeping my firearm in plain sight in a case unloaded. Still don't want to go without my carry piece.
My question is, based on your knowledge, if I took my Springfield X-DM into Portland, but had taken it apart into 3 pieces (slide+barrel/recoil assembly, frame, and magazine) and had one component in a cargo pocket, another in my CC minded backpack, and the third in another pocket or compartment of the bag, would I still be considered as CCing?
I will not be going onto any government property or public transportation. I understand even though having the weapon in pieces I'm at a major tactical disadvantage (I'm a knife guy too, so I'm at least covered by the decent knife carry laws) - I'm less concerned about having it in public (won't be out and about much) as I am in my hotel room - sounds like a bad part of town. I guess a second question is can I be armed in my hotel room, and utilitize it if need be there without fear of prosecution?
I'll be getting the Oregon permit after the trip, though from the little I've gleaned it won't help me much in Portland. Sucks too - earlier this year I visited the WA state capital and OCed all through it, even watching the State Congress and Senate vote on bills, but I can't protect myself and my party during a trip to your city.
