i edited my post citing 166.173. i’ll look for something about rifles specifically.Can you cite specific ordinances and ORS that says only open carry of long arms are allowed, with some places limiting that to CHL holders?
We believe the 2nd Amendment is best defended through grass-roots organization, education, and advocacy centered around individual gun owners. It is our mission to encourage, organize, and support these efforts throughout Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming.

166.250 talks more about the concealment of firearms but if you have a CHL youre good. 166.260Can you cite specific ordinances and ORS that says only open carry of long arms are allowed, with some places limiting that to CHL holders?
I think if its not loaded it'll be OK?Just switching gears and for clarification.... so say you have a breakdown rifle in something like a tactical backpack. When and where "would" it be legal to carry with or without a CHL?
IE., Does that qualify as not readily accessible? While engaged in legally allowed activities in the great outdoors... a permit would be required?
I'm more confused now than when the thread started.![]()
I imagine it would be... but... yeah. Unload AIN'T gonna happen.I think if its not loaded it'll be OK?![]()

Edit. We know that supposedly Oregon is mostly "open carry is legal" with the exceptions of needing a CHL for certain towns/cities/counties but State Forests and National forests should be 100% OK to have open loaded carry of any firearms...
Loaded carry can only be prohibited to those without a CHL with the current state preemption.no sbr conceal carry without a CHL 166.250/ 166.260. with a CHL you can have a loaded rifle in the vehicle depending on what municipality you are in.
It doesn't. It states you can't have a concealedCan you cite specific ordinances and ORS that says only open carry of long arms are allowed, with some places limiting that to CHL holders?
As @v0lcom13sn0w pointed out; ORS 166.250 does seem to indicate that any concealed firearm must be limited to CHL holdersIt doesn't. It states you can't have a concealed pistol without a CHL, and it states open carry is allowed. Open carry can be prohibited by local jurisdictions for those without.
Yup. Sorry, I'm going to edit.As @v0lcom13sn0w pointed out; ORS 166.250 does seem to indicate that any concealed firearm must be limited to CHL holders
Relevant excerpt from ORS 166.250...
"
a person commits the crime of unlawful possession of a firearm if the person knowingly:
(a)
Carries any firearm concealed upon the person; " with the exception for CHLs (ORS 166.260)
Oregon doesn't have any prohibition against rifles other than they can't be concealed without a CHL. ORS also states that with a CHL, local laws do not apply, such as loaded firearms in public.I think it's helpful to exclude municipality or county-specific restrictions, other wise it's too hard to understand. I'm looking for statewide restrictions only. Basically I'm trying to figure out what, if any, guns that are currently pistols will no longer be legal to carry concealed if they are converted to sbrs for a chl holder.
I see in post #6 that a gun that designed to be shouldered cannot be concealed under that law If I'm reading it correctly: "...and designed to be aimed or fired otherwise than from the shoulder." Before the brace rule, it seems to me that a pistol with brace would be fine in terms of this specific law. But with ATFs new redefintion of a rifle BS, seems like this would now be a conflict. Now lets say it's overturned in court (or even enjoined). If it wasn't registered as an sbr it would go back to being ok for this law. But if you had registered it as an sbr it's now a rifle and would be a conflict, even if this law is overturned. I think.?
Similarly trying to figure out if carrying loaded pistol in vehicle by CHL holder would be affected. As far as I can tell so far this would not be effected because rifles are already o.k.
That would be my understanding. There is a process for having your tax stamp marked as "inactive" in the national registry (vs removed), but that also requires a reconfiguration into a non SBR so.... not really a valid option if your intent is to keep your "now SBR" as it is. It'll remain an SBR even when the rule is tossed.But if you had registered it as an sbr it's now a rifle and would be a conflict, even if this law is overturned. I think.?

atleast while hunting, if you have your CHL you may carry loaded when operating an OHV. page 14 oregon big game regulations.Oregon doesn't have any prohibition against rifles other than they can't be concealed without a CHL. ORS also states that with a CHL, local laws do not apply, such as loaded firearms in public.
Oregon also has some prohibition against loaded firearms on a UTV. I'm not sure on the ordinance as I don't UTV, but I do not believe it's included in 166.
That woulda been pretty useful 2 pages ago.![]()
