Thanks for the pamplet.
I will be visiting Bend in a week and needed a one-stop device to get my research headed in the correct direction.
I am now specifically looking for the ORS that allows a non-resident of Oregon, who is legally allowed to possess a handgun in CA, to open carry or transport a handgun in Oregon.
Also, do I need to lock-up the handgun if it is not openly carried in my car?
I will be reading ORS statutes until I find the answer, unless someone knows the pertinent sections.

You won't find an ORS allowing a non resident to OC or transport. The applicable ORS are 166.250 which details what is prohibited and 166.360/370 which define and discuss carry in certain places (public buildings, courts, etc.).
If the weapon is concealed within the vehicle it must be unloaded or "not readilly accessible". There is case law on the definition of readilly accessible but if it's in the trunk, locked in a case, etc. you should be okay. However, if it is loaded, there is case law in Oregon that now defines the interior of your vehicle as "public place" so without a CHL if you're in a town which restricts loaded carry, you can be cited for loaded and visible in the car as well.
In addition to the city info in the pamphlet that was attached to an earlier post, check my next post in this thread where I will place some information that I've been digging up the last month of so in an attempt to more fully identify local restrictions. There are a few that aren't in the pamphlet and a few clarifications.
