I'm kind of puzzled by that one too. You would think they would just take your word on it---"yup, it's loaded". Also not all that thrilled about handing
a loaded firearm to them. NOT criticizing law enforcement, but some don't
really have much experience dealing with a wide assortment of guns. If
what they are used to is a decocker gun, and what you hand them is
cocked and locked, it could get real interesting.

Weird law... maybe it there for city ordances that do not allow loaded firearms. I've never had a police officer ask to see my gun. They just want to know where I'm carrying it.
166.380 pertains to a "unlicensed" individual. Section 166.370 says:
Oregon Statutes - Chapter 166 - Offenses Against Public Order; Firearms and Other Weapons; Racketeering - Section 166.370 - Possession of firearm or dangerous weapon in public building or court facility; exceptions; discharging firearm at school.

If asked if you're carrying, tell them you have a CHL, show it and if asked to see your weapon ( which is highly unlikely) show them, and unless you're doing something illegal he'll hand it back and you'll be on your way...
