Oregon Conceal Carry Permit - 4 WA Residents

[Softball4Ever]

Hi, I live in Washington and travel to and through Oregon on a regular basis. Can anyone tell me what county is the easiest county to get an out-of-state CCP. I tried Washington County and got the runaround. Any help that you can provide would be appreciated.

Multanoma (spelling I know) was easy for me for the original permit and repeat renewals

It's supposed to be a border county, I don't think Washington county shares a border.

IIRC @Cerberus Group recommends Sherman and Wasco Counties to his WA state students/residents.

Yep, Sherman County...it's a drive, but they'll do it....just call and make an appointment.

It was a few years back before I moved from OR to WA, but I went through Linn Co. and it was super easy. I live in Yamhi Co now and we have a good Sheriff.

Columbia County is a good place for out of State permits. Very pro-2A.

I second that, definitely go through Columbia county. One of the first second amendment sanctuary counties in the country if I remember right from when I used to live there.

Washington County will issue a CHL to WA residents but you need to show a compelling need (work, family, own property, etc). I've never had an issue with WCSO in the nearly 3 decades of dealing with them. YMMV

I got mine in Columbia county years ago when Multnomah and Washington counties would not issue to out of state. The Sheriff in Columbia county is pro gun. BONUS: I did not have to go to Portland or Hillsboro!

Any luck on this? My buddy is looking into as well

I applied online with Muntnomah Co. Waited for an appointment (quite the wait) for fingerprints and payment. Went in on the date. Staff was great. Plenty of parking. Relatively easy to get to. Very painless, other than the before and after wait times. People seem to make more out of it than is reality…. Other than instant gratification of walking in and out with one same day.

Thanks for the reply. Glad it went well.

I was confidently thinking "well that's not right!"



You are correct. I thought there was a bit of Washigton county between Columbia and Multnomah counties that touched the river. Columbia sounds like a good bet. You can take the Longview bridge out of WA, and avoid Portland. Any day where you avoid Portland is a good day.
