I wanted to ask a couple of questions on carrying in Oregon while I'm visiting. First, let me say that it isn't fear or anything that is making me want to carry in Oregon, it's just that it will make me feel a bit more comfortable as a whole. I open and conceal carry at home as I don't live in the best place. I haven't applied for a Conceal Carry License in cali mainly because Riverside County doesn't accept Personal/Self defense as a legit reason for approval (Screw Kommiefornia... I'm working on moving). I tried searching CalGuns and here for more into on it, but not much came up that I didnt already know (which I went over below)... I went through 10 pages of search results on both and a few pages on google, but no joy.
So the questions. First off, can I Open Carry? Some of the activities I do in Portland would obviously limit it (although most of the dont forbid carrying in their policies, I'd rather not annoy the people organizing it). But as a whole, for example, walking around town, driving, going into Voodoo Donuts or Biscuits, would it be an issue for a Ca resident to OC in Oregon?
Next up, Conceal Carry... I know that I can apply with an existing LTC from Ca. But, I dont have one. So if I were to apply for a LTC in Oregon as an out of state resident, I know I have to go into a Sheriffs office to do so, would I need to have a course to show proof of training or would they be willing to have me show competence while there? Is there anything forbidding me from going anywhere to get the training and "certification" during normal business hours and then directly to the Sheriffs office to get a LTC? I know a place to get a course around here, but his next one isnt for a few weeks (and I'm going to and hoping to apply for the CCW when I go which is a week before his course).
On the above, I noticed another member say that the test from the MD State Police online was good enough ( MD Firearms Safety Training ) but I cant find other information on it. Any ideas if this would suffice for the requirements on the CCW in Oregon?
And if no to Open Carry and if I cant get a Concealed Carry, what is the policy on having my weapon in Oregon while I'm there. I may want to take my Canadian friends shooting during the trip if I can sweet talk him into it.
Thanks for anything you guys can offer,
