I’ve spent the last several days reading over the threads for Oregon and any other media covering Oregon carry laws I could find. I’m planning a trip from Washington to Boise in a couple weeks and want you all to reassure me that what I have learned regarding Oregon’s handgun carry laws is correct. I know my WA CCP doesn’t mean squat in Oregon, Idaho I’m good to go but any questions there is another thread discussion.
I’ll be traveling I-84 the entire way and from what I have read and can decipher I can carry in my car as long as 1) if loaded it’s in the open i.e., dashboard, console or holstered 2) concealed it must be unloaded to include no rounds in magazine, out of immediate reach (trunk) or under lock and key (glove box). I could not find if the handgun, empty mag and loose rounds could all be located together when under lock and key.
I cannot carry outside my vehicle as everyplace is considered “public place” so I must keep it in the open or unload and lock it up should I stop at a rest stop, go into a gas station or restaurant and leave my car unattended.
My family will be with me as well so I expect to be making frequent stops for the kids to stretch their legs. Please correct me where I’m wrong and let me know anything else I have forgotten. I have a 6 hour drive I don’t need to make it any longer having to answer to the authorities.
Thanks
