Be legal, be happy and don't be "that guy".

Not saying I did or didn't do such a thing, but when answering a call-out at midnight in Hunters Point one would have to carefully weigh the upside against the downside.

Loaded Open Carry is still legal in Oregon Free Counties and Cities.

Anyone know if that uncovered IWB is still considered to be Open Carry?

Exceptions for not needing a license to conceal carry. Going to or from a match,
shooting range, fishing or hunting.

Potential fines and/or penalties are what the maximum is. No one ever gets the maximum unless you are a repeat offender with no lawyer..

I heard Jay Sekulo mention he councils his clients to always obey the law.
Seems like solid advice to me.

 

[Kruel J]

Agreed. Obey the law. Any other advice would be foolish and dangerous.
