I have a permit and carry almost all the time, My buddy says I am breaking the law when I carry concealed on my ATV, he states that Oregon has a no loaded gun on ATV's law. . . . . anyhelp?
821.240 Operating snowmobile or all-terrain vehicle while carrying firearm or bow; penalty.
- A person commits the offense of operating a snowmobile or an all-terrain vehicle while carrying a firearm or bow if the person operates any snowmobile or all-terrain vehicle with a firearm in the possession of the person, unless the firearm is unloaded, or with a bow, unless all arrows are in a quiver.
- The offense described in this section, operating a snowmobile or an all-terrain vehicle while carrying a firearm or bow, is a Class B traffic violation.
From what I have found, he is right unfortunately. I believe that you can have your gun on you, as long as the clip isn't in it and is seperated from the gun.
This is true with the exemptions of the law (2) Subsection (1) of this section does not apply to a person who is licensed under ORS 166.291 and 166.292 to carry a concealed handgun! So yor buddy is right for persons who do not have a permit, but not with you holning your permit so ride on. I ride with mine all the time and have never been bothered.
Is an offroad motorcycle an all-terrain vehicle under the law?
It's a stupid law. I open carry on my dirtbike here in WA State. In addition I have a folding stock Mini 14 mounted on my handlebars, loaded
The mini 14 being loaded is probably NOT a good idea. F&W (RCW 77) doesn't like anything like a loaded rifle in or on a vehicle. RCW 9.41 is generally only addressing sidearms. If you met a Sheriff's deputy you would probably would not be cited, but a game warden, that might be different.

I don't currently hunt and it's for self defense of me and my gal.. never had a problem so far. But I do mostly ride out back of our land on Green Diamond timber Co land, no game wardens out there
We would expect nothing less! Where do you stow your grenades?
As long as you are on your own land, or other private land you have a legal right to be on, you can do as you please, but not on public land or public roadways. When it comes to SD, carry of a long gun is limited...ya ya, can they make it stick? Maybe, maybe not..in any case it would be a pain if you were cited for a loaded long gun in/on a vehicle...
RCW 9.41 provisions for self defense are generally limited to the carry of a handgun. If you look at the title and read RCW 9.41.050 you would thing the prohibitions were for all firearms, but in actuality they only concern pistols, Same goes for the exemptions in RCW 9.41.060...they are the exemptions for the prohibitions in RCW 9.41.050.
I happen to agree that a long gun can be used as a defensive weapon, especially against 4 legged threats...but so far, that is not how the legislature sees it.
In Oregon the statute reads "firearm", and doesn't specify pistol or rifle. The way it reads, you can apparently carry anything you want on an ATV loaded and ready if you have an Oregon CHL. Even without a CHL, it's not loaded unless there's a round in the chamber, the way I read the statute. Anybody know any different?
