Note, a court case in Oregon has determined that local prohibitions of loaded open carry in public places apply to your car. That means that when driving through Portland and Salem (assuming you take I-5,) you cannot carry loaded without an Oregon CHL.
You can carry unloaded through local-prohibition zones, then re-load as soon as you pass through.
If you're not passing down I-5, though, you're fine. All of the open-carry-prohibition zones are Portland, Portland suburbs, and Salem. (Other than the oddball Astoria up on the coast and Independence, a Salem suburb that isn't on any major roads.)
The guy has a WA CPL...that will get him past the local prohibitions...you only need a license to carry...that does not mean you can canceal with another states license, but you can ignore the local "unloaded" OC ordenances....read your law...166.173 DOES NOT say license per 291 and 292, it says "license to carry"...and in Astoria's local law it goes even farther and says "a license from ANY government"
You guys need to read what is written, not what you think is written. Protland et al restrictions mean NOTHING if you have ANY license to carry. (OC only)
