So I feel I am somewhat to knowledge of the laws of firearm carrying and transportation in a vehicle, but recently moving to Oregon and reading online, more and more, I'm confused. I took the Oregon and Utah Concealed Handgun Permit class and can now only get Utah's permit because of a very stupid Misdemeanor that I had to plead to because of politics and lack of money for a REAL lawyer to prove myself against the police and district attorney - very sad and unfair situation as a good working citizen of our great country....long story and don't feel like explaining. So I have always loved the woods, back country, fishing, hunting, gold panning, and just exploring. Since moving to Oregon, I have been in awe of the vast amounts of woods, hills, mountains and roads through the creeks and rivers in god's country. Yet now, when I am looking for future areas to start hunting and fishing in this new land and putting in countless hours exploring and panning for gold allot of times in state, federal forest, BLM land and just plain old no mans lands, I have a growing concern and sometimes FEAR of what may lie around the next corner on these remote roads. Normally a 1911 is my only passenger along when my wife is not with. I'm currently building a AR pistol exclusively for carrying on me while in these areas on a single point sling either on my chest or on my back so it's close and my hands can be used for carrying other tools.
So can anyone comment, advise, or educate me on your opinions, facts or legal advice on while I'm driving in these areas, and only in these areas, Can I legally drive and do what I do as I described and have my AR-15 pistol on a single point sling in plain sight on my chest loaded with clip in and around in the chamber. If I come around a corner in the road and someone is standing there or on a four-wheeler with a gun and probably not there to tell me where to find some gold or a hot hunting spot, I would like to have a option at hand if evading and bugging out is not an option.
I understand this may cause some to question the situation or my need to put myself there, but this is what I like to do and I am not about to let a small amount of people in this society scare me into staying at home and take up cross puzzles. I understand some of these growers may be in a region of low income or just their way of making a living and I could care less. Yet the ones who are going to intimidate people utilizing public lands for what they are set aside for are the ones I feel I as a American should stand up for myself and be able to Defend myself. Thanks for any post, good or bad
