Per OREGON VEHICLE CODE Chapter 821 - Off-Road Vehicles; Snowmobiles; All-Terrain Vehicles

This is the full citation:
821.240 Operating snowmobile or all-terrain vehicle while carrying firearm or bow; exemptions; penalty. (1) A person commits the offense of operating a snowmobile or an all-terrain vehicle while carrying a firearm or bow if the person operates any snowmobile or all-terrain vehicle with a firearm in the possession of the person, unless the firearm is unloaded, or with a bow, unless all arrows are in a quiver.

(2) Subsection (1) of this section does not apply to a person who is licensed under ORS 166.291 and 166.292 to carry a concealed handgun.

(3) As used in this section, “unloaded” means:

(a) If the firearm is a revolver, that there is no live cartridge in the chamber that is aligned with the hammer of the revolver;

(b) If the firearm is a muzzle-loading firearm, that the firearm is not capped or primed; or

(c) If the firearm is other than a revolver or a muzzle-loading firearm, that there is no live cartridge in the chamber.

(4) The offense described in this section, operating a snowmobile or an all-terrain vehicle while carrying a firearm or bow, is a Class B traffic violation.

As you can see, if you have a license to carry concealed, you can carry it ... but not "open carry". and by "firearm" they mean a rifle ... And if you carry a revolver ... you just have to have an open slot or a spent cartridge in the chamber ....

Hope it helps ... Or if you have a semiautomatic, don't carry "cocked and loaded" and you're good.

From what I have found, he is right unfortunately. I believe that you can have your gun on you, as long as the clip isn't in it and is seperated from the gun.

Incorrect ... the clip can be in the gun as long as you don't have a bullet on the pipe.

In Oregon but not in WA.. you can have loaded magazines but not in the long gun

The stupidest thing is Oregon holding out on NOT giving quads a limited licensing designation that would allow operation within similar regulations as a street legal dirt bike. Then we would not have to deal with this ridicules array of maps we have to carry and dealing with the restrictions of vertically Vs. non-vertically marked roads and all the gray areas of quad operation. Carrying laws I am sure would remain the same but many states have already given quads limited street legal status.
