Oregon California Legal/Drivers License resident with part time home in Oregon - can Long Guns be kept owned at Oregon Residence?

[Burt Gummer]

Lady I know lives in Oregon 3-4 months out of the year and she owns a couple shotguns. Possible dumb question since my guess would be yes, but can she legally keep the SGs in her Oregon home for defense? She owns a couple pistols that were gifted via family and a firearms attorney worked it out where she can own and possess them in Oregon. But no one addressed the long guns. Thanks.

As long as she complies with the new SB requiring securing the firearms. The new text should be in ORS 166.

OK will check it out. Pretty sure she has a safe. Thanks!

For this purpose, no difference between handguns and long guns.

I'd be curious about

a firearms attorney worked it out where she can own and possess them in Oregon

Not that I doubt the lawyer; there is a possible issue Federally about change in possession if the guns in OR might be accessible while she is out of state. (Feds are concerned about possession, not ownership) I'd like to hear what the lawyer suggests, if that might be available.

There may also be Federal issues with the gifts, as Fedlaw requires handgun transfers to go through an FFL in the state of residence of the receiver - see this link to my Calguns thread.

I would try seeing if they fit in the house and if they do, yeah, seems like she could.

Joe Biden said she could. See how all these laws make us safer?

Seriously, if she has a legal residence in Oregon it shouldn't be an issue. If she leaves it with another party it might be a problem. But the problem would only be a result of something bad. Then it would be the least of her problems.

Sell the California and Oregon houses and move to Idaho, problem solved

She was able to own two handguns because a family member gifted them to her.

IF she is the legal owner of the Oregon residence. ..
The legal owner of the firearms....
The firearms are stored in a secured container in which she is the sole person to have access (no one else has a key / combination)....

I don't see where the problem arises.
