According to the most recent statistics, more people died in Oregon in 2009 from gunfire than died in car accidents
I'm wondering why there isn't a line to get into Catholic School.
"In order to get a concealed weapons permit in Oregon, you have to demonstrate "handgun competency," among other things. "
Also not true. You don't need to demonstrate anything. You just need a certificate that says you've taken a safety course.
You also can't carry a loaded firearm while riding a snowmobile.
Concealed handguns aside, a lot of men seem impressed when they find out I have an SKS rifle. Picture an AK-47 and that will give you an idea of what the gun looks like, and no, you can't carry it concealed; it's too big and the license is for handguns only.
Actually that is true. You demonstrate it either by taking that safety course, which despite the name covers more topics, or by qualifying for one of the exemptions.
I was under impression that before the change they've made last year, carrying loaded with CHL on motorcycles and snowmobiles was not an issue, but unloaded transportation (without CHL) was. Anybody can clarify ? In any case, it's different now.
Now that is false.
It wasn't legal for a CHL holder to carry a loaded firearm on an off-road vehicle until the changes last year.I was under impression that before the change they've made last year, carrying loaded with CHL on motorcycles and snowmobiles was not an issue, but unloaded transportation (without CHL) was.

Actually, the license in both OR and WA is for handguns, it is not for normal rifles or shotguns. That is why tehy are "Concealed Handgun License" and "Concealed Pistol License"
The part I had trouble with were her statistics...OR traffic deaths in 2009 were 377. Wilful homocide (any cause) were 84, and Negligent homocide was 16...where did the other 277+ firearms deaths come from? I say "+", because the statistics I found did not seperate the homocides by instrument used.

I find we need a better system for concealed I found many people do not remember or even know the concealed class information later on.
I agree. The standards are ridculously low. Some will certainly argue there shouldn't be any standards or regulation to CC. You nearly have your wish now.
In WA the standardis: it is your responsibility to know the law and how to handle your firearm safely. They then give you a pamphlet with the laws, and your CPL. Guess what...never been a problem.
