I am a man again
7/29/2011 1:02:58 AM
I received my CHL in the mail yesterday, courtesy of Sheriff JJ here in Marion County. Gosh but it feels good to be legal again.
I carried a Washington permit ever since I was 21. Moved down here almost three years ago now, and I'm embarrassed to say I didn''t manage to get off my butt and take the CHL class until June 2011. Pretty sad.
Y'all can't see on your screens, thankfully, but I'm as giddy as a schoolgirl!
One question - can I keep a loaded rifle in my truck? I couldn't do that in Washington, and I'd really like to keep one of my Marlins handy.

I carry a loaded rifle all the time; not really a truck gun, just when I'm goin somewhere to shoot nutria or rabbits or whatever. Guess I ASSumed I was covered with the CHL...

Why would a "rifle" be covered under a "concealed HANDGUN license"? I doubt the legality of anything other than a loaded handgun in the vehicle or on you.

you could legally do that without the chl, as long as it is in the open, not under anything.
My father is an Oregon State Police officer, i asked him the same question the day i turned 18.

Not all are labeled a chl. I've seen a few labelled as a cwp, concealed weapons permit. Legit question.

Thank you to all who replied.
After I posted this thread, I started reading my copy of "Understanding Oregon's Gun Laws" by Kevin Starrett. I bought the book during my CHL training, but hadn't actually, you know, read it yet. I was pretty surprised to find that I'd been good to go on the rifle even without a CHL. Awesome!
Something I feel like I remember reading in the Oregon HTF was that having a CHL pre-empts the more-restrictive ordinances places like Portland have passed. So having a CHL would protect me from Portland doubtless having passed a no truck guns ordinance. I think this was brought up during a previous discussion of truck guns. However, it's also entirely possible I made up the whole damn story. Lots of times it seems like I just decided stuff happened.
Anyway, I think I'll go ahead with the truck gun for now. I can always take it out if I'm Portland-bound. And anyway, concealed is concealed...
ETA: munkalido wets the bed.
