Concealed Loaded Rifle In Pickup

[Kruzer65]

I have a CHL and would like to stash my 30-30 behind my pickup seat. Loaded of course. It's a standard cab, so no one could see it. I'm in Oregon.

Sounds like an OK idea, except for the threat of theft.
Also depending how you store/secure the rifle it may not be readily accessible if you need it in a hurry.
Did you have a specific question you wanted to ask or just looking for other opinions?

 

[Certaindeaf]

Pretty sure it's OK in Oregon if you have a CHL.. could be wrong though.

 

[solv3nt]

ORS 166, state preemption.

 

[jvbutter]

yes i agree. Its not the most accessible firearm to have.

 

[DLS]

This would not be legal in Washington State ... only loaded pistols with a CPL.

I was just wondering. Won't leave it in the PU. Just in case I need something rather high powered. I like my ol' 30-30. Shoots straight and true. Pretty good punch too. It was built in the 40's. Thanks to all for the reply. May Freedom Ring!

People with CHL's must also consider any passenger they may have in their truck with them.

Medic,
The only person that rides in my PU with me is my wife. She's 63 and has never even received a driving ticket. If anyone other than my wife were to ride along with me, they could not get to the 30-30 unless I stopped, got out and pulled the seat forward to get at the rifle. Is that what you were getting at?

 

[User 1234]

I think we need to get to the really important part of this scenario, is it a pre-64 or post-64?

Scrap your idea and go with the John Bromfield look:

"Handgun"

rifle ≠ handgun
CHL does not factor

As I read it, if I have a CC in my possession, and I'm in a vehicle with my firearm, I'm good. despite whos in the truck with me. My lady is with me often, she's with me, pistol is in truck. I feel we are good. Now if she drove it w/o me, and the pistol is in there, different story. I think its mixed bag...firearm/handgun.
Also google says...

Oregon CCW laws
Carrying of a concealed firearm is prohibited by ORS 166.250, however holders of a valid Concealed Handgun License are exempt from this law. ... However, Oregon law allows a city or county to regulate open carry of loaded firearms in public places, but holders of concealed carry permits are exempt.

Dang, and thanks. Didn't realize you couldn't hunt in a cemetery.

I like your style! I have a Winchester 94 short rifle and its handy, points fast, and makes a statement on the receiving end!

 

[Kruzer65]

Yup, mines a 94, short. Handy to have around.

(b)POSSESSES a handgun that is concealed and readily accessible to THE person within any vehicle; or

Clearly this applies to the person who is in possession of the firearm. Otherwise it should be worded

"(b)Possesses a handgun that is concealed and readily accessible to A [or ANY] person within any vehicle; or"

Can someone be in possession if they don't even know it's there? And if I'M in possession of a firearm how can anyone else be in possession of it?

I would imagine that there are LEOs who would try to stretch this pretty broadly, but I think a court would take the narrow view.

DISCLAIMER: Although I attended law school I am not an attorney. My legal opinions are worth exactly what you pay for them.

I was told by our county Sheriff when I renewed my CHL that if you leave someone in your vehicle with the concealed firearm and don't take that firearm, that person must also have a CHL to be legal
