Then if that same gun is within reach of another person in the car. Say in the glove box right in front of them? Are they in trouble if they don't have a permit?

The driver is the one who is in care and control of everything in the vehicle, so if it's the driver's weapon and the driver has a current CPL then all's well.Then if that same gun is within reach of another person in the car.

If the other person was a prohibited person, it could be argued that you would be allowing them access to a weapon. You having a CPL/CHL wouldn't make any difference in that case. Just keep in mind that any lawyer or cop is free to make any argument that they want. It doesn't need to be valid.Might be a headache if they are prohibited from having a firearm (felon, protective order, etc). Then you may have to prove that the gun is yours and not theirs.
i know for sure dont walk into the US post office with it.
yep, just a friendly reminderDont walk into the post office concealed either unless theres some other felonies you'd like to commit at the same time.
If you want to carry around Yakima, be my guest. The OP was asking about open carry in The People's Republic of Portland. Big difference.I open carry so I can have ready access to a firearm if I need it. No digging around in my shorts or having to wear too much clothing to cover up something I am under no real obligation to cover up. I am a grown man who dresses like a 12 year old kid. Shorts and a tank top when the weather allows it. The same reason cops open carry. No one looks at me funny or grabs my gun. Its legal. There is no problem. I have a concealed carry permit so I can buy a gun without waiting and so I can stick the gun in my glovebox when I'm driving down the road or at work. Its also a deterrent. You can have the drop on a robber at a 7/11 if you want. I'd rather he comes in the store , look around and decide he might want to try it somewhere else. You think he's going to walk up and steal my gun? Thats what situational awareness is for.
I actually had to unholster my carry 1911 yesterday on a walk with my wife and my dog. A couple of large dogs came out of their house started running towards my small dog . I unholstered, racked one in and shouted them off before I had to shoot them. Not real sexy eh? Thats what carrying a gun for me is about. I'm 6'4 and 235 lbs and am quite intimidating. No one ever messes with me . I don't think I will ever have to shoot someone and i really dont think anyone is going to try to take my gun away from me.
Any other questions? You see those idiots open carrying rifles at black lives matter rallies and think thats what open carry is. Open carry is carrying a pistol on your belt which is by far the best place to carry it. Get over yourself.
Yakima has about 10X the violent crime Portland does per capita. I dont have a valid Oregon permit any more so if I travel to PDX I'm open carrying. Not an issue there either.If you want to carry around Yakima, be my guest. The OP was asking about open carry in The People's Republic of Portland. Big difference.
let us know how that goes for you, I sincerely mean that not in jest Ive just never heard of anyone open carrying in Portland.Yakima has about 10X the violent crime Portland does per capita.

I live across the river from that pestilential crap hole. I try to avoid going across the bridge except for absolute have to situations. I once rode their MAX train and was given the ol' "stink eye" by some gang bangers. I just smiled at them. Remember, Black Lives Matter!Yakima has about 10X the violent crime Portland does per capita. I dont have a valid Oregon permit any more so if I travel to PDX I'm open carrying.

You can legally open carry in Portland. Let's just say you'll attract quite a bit of attention. Don't plan on getting all your in-town errands done quickly. lol
There are videos on YouTube of people who've done it. The cops come by after 1000 911 calls and ask you what's up, got ID?
PS-- FYI @oldcorpgunny I don't live in a "pestilential crap hole," I live in a nice neighborhood with some decent stand-up neighbors. Yeah, they exist. Surprise!
