If you leave a gun unattended in a vehicle then the requirements are different. Not absolutely certain in Oregon. In WA you have to have the vehicle locked and the firearm must be in an opaque container.See that's why I thought some thing wasn't right that person and the office I feel didn't wanna deal with me. So disappointed by our LEO'S IN UNION COUNTY so when I come back can I just have the gun loaded on the dash or tucked in between the seat?

Neither of the above gave you correct answers. If you place a loaded pistol in a glove box or console then it is concealed and must meet the requirements to conceal it, open carry which is legal in a car in Oregon does not require unloading it or locking it away. Here is a decent rundown however keep in mind that it is not updated to show the most current localities that have open carry restrictions. In particular it lists cities in Multnomah County however for the last 10 months or so (Since Memorial Day Weekend last year) the restriction applies to ALL of Multnomah County. It's also a good idea to check the actual statutes and ordinances as well.

I suspect the confusion when I was reading your reply was that the concealed stuff was mixed in with open carry. This appears to be more clear in your last sentence here. I would suggest reading all of the applicable ORS and perhaps even keep them on hand at all times even if open carrying. I have the docs for WA saved on my phone to keep them handy.Read the ORS 166.250 Unlawful Possession of firearms. Section 1b possession of a handgun that is concealed and readily accessible to the person within the vehicle. Section 3 firearms carried openly in belt holsters are not concealed withing the meaning of this section. Section 4a except as provided in paragraph b of this section, a handgun is readily accessible within the meaning of this section if the handgun is withing the passenger compartment of the vehicle. (b) if the vehicle has no storage location that is outside the passenger compartment of the vehicle a handgun is not readily accessible within the meaning of this section if: the handgun is stored in a closed and locked glove compartment center console or other container that unlocks with a key and the key is not inserted into the lock...
Like I said to the OP read the ORS yourself do t trust anyone else. Or open carry when you legally can.

Really, guess I never saw that law :huh: Last time I checked simply under the seat or in a glove box would be more then enough to meet the law.
RCW 9.41.050: Carrying firearms.
(2)(a) A person shall not carry or place a loaded pistol in any vehicle unless the person has a license to carry a concealed pistol and: (i) The pistol is on the licensee's person, (ii) the licensee is within the vehicle at all times that the pistol is there, or (iii) the licensee is away from the vehicle and the pistol is locked within the vehicle and concealed from view from outside the vehicle.

Incorrect !!
"it must be locked within the vehicle and concealed from view from outside the vehicle." nothing says it has to be in any container.
As others have said, you need to reed the law yourself. I have a CHL so am not restricted by Multnomah Co's recent idiotic laws. Rereading them now is making my blood boil... Basically if you're traveling around the state these days you should just get your CHL since it seems to exempt you from most local restrictions. In Multnomah County, you must also unload your magazines/speed loaders if you are passing through. Keep that in mind. Apparently they want to treat a loaded mag the same as a loaded weapon. Time to do some reading...
I was told by dispatch that when traveling in Oregon with out a chl or ccw you must unload and leave your hand gun in the trunk. I'm an Oregon resident and I am heading to Idaho. It's there fact in what was told to me?
