No don't remember that one but that is interesting. When I lived there are took to using a fanny pack to carry but it was not one of the ones made to carry a gun. This was pre Algore and the net and I had at that time never seen one made for a gun. Just noticed them all over the place and one day thought that would work great. It was a Mis. to get cited carrying concealed. I got so tired of being asked to leave business's over my open gun and having snow flakes literally freak out when they spotted it that I took to carrying concealed.So you probably remember the case that set the "fanny pack precedent".
With no CCW permit system at the time, a guy with a fanny pack holster gets braced by the coppers. Long story short (and referring to my previous post) the defense argued that the holster was visible. The pack was designed as a holster and the cops recognized it as such, therefore it met the criteria of "any part of the gun, holster, or case" being visible.
An OR CHL is pretty easy to get (although l vehemently oppose the infringement) and heads off a LOT of potential legal traps... and yes, I use the word "traps" purposefully. It basically goes all My Cousin Vinnie at the end of the firearms regs section (ORS 196.-whatever): "Everything that guy just said... is bullsh*t".
