So I finally got my chl and Ive known some friends who have had them in the past. They weren't really firearm guys just kinda wanted a gun for self defense, and took everything the class instructor told them as fact.
Ive heard some things about laws here that I cant really find laws on the books for but on the other hand I haven't weeded through ALL the laws in Oregon. Ill name a few myths Ive heard that I haven't confirmed and if anyone has an idea if they are actually myths or facts let me know. Also feel free to post myths you've heard that have been debunked.
1. If you are out and someone sees your concealed and happens to call the cops you will lose your license for NOT concealing properly.
2. You are not allowed to use your firearm in defense of a third party that is not directly related to you by blood or intimacy.
3. Most self defense cases are lost when deadly force is used ( specifically Multnomah)
4. Most of the state parks or hiking trails in the Gorge are "No firearms permitted" even though no signs are up at the entrance to the trail.
5. You cannot remove your Fire arm in the car and place it (lets say between your seat and center console) and it still be considered concealed.
Thats just a few I have heard. Im sure there is more I cant think of on the top of my head. Any clarification from some guys who have carried longer?
Anyone have any arm chair internet lawyer myths they cant debunk or have debunked?
