You may still get the ticket fr a while... but at least you will have a defense to fight the ticket.

I am assuming it will be weeks if not month for that information to get to all the LEOs out there

 

[glockguy]

most LEOs dotn know laws that have been around for years... aka OR is an open carry state.... but they neveeeeeer no

 

[PhotogUSA3]

Well I would take it even a step farther than that... no one knows all the laws... there are just way to many of them

My question is why would you volunteer the info that your gun is loaded? If you do not tell them they will not know. They do not have probable cause to search your weapon to see if it is loaded. Do they automatically assume you are a lawbreaker.

The second question is rhetorical,right? Cause that is their job,to think you are guilty of suppon.They need to write tickets

Now if you have a firearm on a vehicle,I would ASSume that gives then probable cause.

Interesting. It sounds as though average Joe (non CPL-holder) can carry a semi-auto handgun with a loaded magazine so no as there's not a round chambered. Was this always the case? Or am I misreading?

WA changed their "poaching" regs a few years ago. How that basically ended up, if you are carrying a handgun for self defensive purposes while recreating, you are fine (CPL or no CPL). If the handgun is the weapon you are hunting with, then the anti-poaching F&W regulation may come into play...

It sounds like OR has done something similar, but not exactly the same. Sounds like you need your CPL on you.

Think about it this way: If you have a .460 Roland with a scope and 8" barrel, are you really carrying that for self defence? If you had an unloaded rifle with you you might get away with it, but most often the Roland would be a hunting weapon, not a self defence weapon...True?

If you had a 9mm compact on your hip, I doubt someone would give you a whole lot of grief (again, especially if you had a rifle with you also).
