I was recently on another forum when I was over reading about someone open carrying in Seaside. Another member gave me the ORS that states if you have any permit to conceal, from anywhere, you are exempted from OR open carry restrictions.
166.173 Authority of city or county to regulate possession of loaded firearms in public places. (1) A city or county may adopt ordinances to regulate, restrict or prohibit the possession of loaded firearms in public places as defined in ORS 161.015.
(2) Ordinances adopted under subsection (1) of this section do not apply to or affect:
(a) A law enforcement officer in the performance of official duty.
(b) A member of the military in the performance of official duty.
(c) A person licensed to carry a concealed handgun.
(d) A person authorized to possess a loaded firearm while in or on a public building or court facility under ORS 166.370.
(e) An employee of the United States Department of Agriculture, acting within the scope of employment, who possesses a loaded firearm in the course of the lawful taking of wildlife. [1995 s.s. c.1 §4; 1999 c.782 §8; 2009 c.556 §3]
166.173 (2)(c) is the actual statue that states this. Is there any OR residents or WA residents that can confirm or deny this information with further ORS?
I have my immediate family that lives in OR (Happy Valley) and they are all close to the restricted areas. I do not want to spend money to pay for a privileged carry method, and want to exercise my Right to OC back in my previous home state. Does my WA permit allow me to open carry in those restricted cities?
Also, can someone post up any ORS that states they can detain/arrest/charge you with disorderly conduct or some other bull**** reason? I am going to begin researching into open carrying into my neighboring state, so eventually I will find all the information I need, but until then it would be helpful if someone who has done the research can point in the right direction.
Now I know OR does not have reciprocity with any other permits, you need an OR permit or non res permit to carry concealed. But when it comes to open carry, does it matter?
