Well, some OR Sheriffs have already been doing that for some time. I changed the address and renewed my OR CHL without any problem. In fact, the process was quicker that what OR residents had reported in different counties. Called for an appoint about noon and walked out with permit in hand by 9:30 the following morning. Nowhere else has been that easy and quick.My interpretation of the ruling is that it would be extremely wise for Sheriffs to treat applications for licenses from citizens (WA, ID, CA) as if they are acting under "Shall Issue". Residents in these states now have a big hammer to use on OR sheriffs that refuse to issue licenses.
Oregon Sheriffs are not authorized to issue licenses to applicants from non-adjacent states. So, lets say you live in IOWA and want to get a license. You now have a big hammer handed to you by the Supreme Court to sue OR and completely wipe out the law and make OR a constitutional carry state (until the point in time at which the legislature could have an emergency session and make a newly revised law).
