No firearms in CMV's.
I don't recall ever seeing anything in ORS prohibiting CC in commercial vehicles.
This is how the discussion has gone between my friends and I. Does anyone have a definitive legal yes or no?
i bet reginald denny wishes he had a .45 in his truck legal or not
Great point, I remember that like it was yesterday:
I lived close enough to smell the smoke from the fires...
me to! had a 12 guage by the front door, moved up here shortly after, i was only 12 but it was still sketchy
I would suggest reading Oregon Revised Statutes section 166:

And...ORS commercial vehicle and license statues...
or talk with a lawyer.
Yeah...it is a lot of reading, which I am sure is why lawyers charge what they do....can you imagine reading nothing but that sort of thing for a living, day in day out?That was a lot of reading.......I couldn't find anything about cdl's in there though it did mention place of business.
I thought that when you applied for and received a cdl, you agreed to be bound by dot regs - which are federal ( carried out in each state as a state agency obviously) though a lot of states have laws saying it is their power to determine firearm laws which would contradict right?
If you do a google search for comercial trucks concealed carry you will see this is a very heated debate. There is a prominant belief that you can not CC in a CMV; however, I've never see anyone actually cite a law that prevents it; therefore I believe it is a myth (YMMV). If you are legal to carry in the state you are driving in then being in a CMV doesn't change that.
DOT doesn't have the authority to regulate firearms, even if they'd like too (which government agency doesn't?).
