Is it legal to carry a loaded carbine (sub2000) in my cars trunk? I was reading the rcw's and looks like if I was a member of a shooting club I could, but not sure. enlighten me .
OREGON has no STATE law against carrying a loaded handgun in your car as long as it is :
a) Not concealed or
b) Not readily accesible.
Not readily accessible" (for now) means:
(4)(a) Except as provided in paragraph (b) of this subsection, a handgun is readily accessible within the meaning of this section if the handgun is within the passenger compartment of the vehicle.
(b) If a vehicle has no storage location that is outside the passenger compartment of the vehicle, a handgun is not readily accessible within the meaning of this section if:
(A) The handgun is stored in a closed and locked glove compartment, center console or other container; and
(B) The key is not inserted into the lock, if the glove compartment, center console or other container unlocks with a key.
However, localities are allowed to regulate loaded firearms in public places which now includes your car. This only applies to people without CHLs.
So you need to check local regulations. In Portland, for example, you may not have a loaded gun anywhere in your car and you may not even have loaded magazines separate from the handgun. It must still, however, be either visible or not readily accessible."

So basically, I could have an ar15 in the trunk with a 20 round clip loaded but not inserted into the gun.
8) Any person engaging in a lawful outdoor recreational activity such as hunting, fishing, camping, hiking, or horseback riding, only if, considering all of the attendant circumstances, including but not limited to whether the person has a valid hunting or fishing license, it is reasonable to conclude that the person is participating in lawful outdoor activities or is traveling to or from a legitimate outdoor recreation area;
Correct. Having a loaded detachable magazine does not = a loaded firearm as long it is NOT in the firearm.
Having a loaded magazine in a firearm even if a round is not chambered IS considered loaded.
yeah confusing laws is what they are. So the answer is I can have my carbine in the truck and loaded magazine in glove box. I was thinking if shtf my little lcp might give me some cover fire while I retrieve that carbine....haha!
I know in Oregon you are good to go as long as you don't have access to it.
in oregon you can carry a loaded rifle in your rig and have access to it . im sure a carbine dosent matter
so in oregon do you need a CPL to do that or can anyone do that?
Enlighten me whats the 6/12 rule?If SHTF then the 6/12 rule comes into play.
