Start reading

My understanding (as a WA resident) is OR does not restrict OC, but local ordinances may (PDX) require a CPL for OC.

I don't think Tillamook has any local ordinances. So open carry is legal. Avoid public buildings which restrict to CHL holders. Private establishments can do as they choose but can only ask you to leave.

2. Don't keep a handgun in the glovebox. If you are in a car, the trunk or in plain sight (including a belt holster) are your best options. An unlocked glovebox is considered concealed.

3. The sheriff's office could refuse it. Ask them.

4. If you're an OR resident, you don't need to provide a reason. It's may issue for non-residents so they can ask for reasons.

If you want I (or someone else) can point out the specific laws in ORS 166. I'm on my phone right now or I would quote some statutes.

Drew has it pretty much covered. Just need to prove residence, fingerprint, "training" and do background check.

Some counties drag their feet by setting interview dates for fingerprinting and all weeks or so away, but state law requires delivery of CHL in 45 days once the paperwork is in.

Any form of concealment (glovebox) requires CHL. Open loaded carry is okay on person or in car. Some cities have more specific laws, but the CHL gives you a pass.

Oregon is "shall issue"--the Sheriff is required to issue if you meet the requirements for training and background and have your paperwork in.
