Anybody Forget Their CHL?

they have a record of when they run your plates

My gun and my wallet both have something in common with my American Express card: I never leave home without them.

Remember that in Oregon you are free to carry concealed if you are on a fishing or hunting expedition, or going or returning from same.

I know that if I forgot my concealed license I'd be returning from a fishing expedition 'cause I forgot my license.

If you carry concealed without a license simply because you left the CHL at home is a great way to loose the CHL for ever. Lots of folks loose their CHL this way.

yeah, all this bubblegum over a steenkeeng piece of paper. A piece of paper that "lets" us make use of a freedom we already have, that is not to be infringed.

That aside, but always on my mind whenever I have guns about, I mostly manage to assure that, when carrying, I also have the Steenkeeng piece of paper. But one fine day, most likely, I will forget.....
It is true that, in Washington, one may not have a loaded handgun inside a vehicle and available to the driver unless one also has the CPL. Must be in hard case, unloaded. Open carry in a vehicle, not OK without CPL. However, WITH CPL, no limits.

what frosts me is that, sooner or later, I'll drive across one of the bridges across the Columbia, and, since I don't have an OREGON CWP, at that moment, I become a criminal.

The complicated web of laws and such is the main reason I decided to GET my permit. And the main reason I want to get my Oregon CWP.
