Greetings OC'ers!
Coming out of California, it feels like to a degree I've entered another country now that I'm in Oregon. I feel proud when I see people concealing and/or open carrying, and feel a lot less oppressed than when I lived in CA. That said, I want to make sure I do this right as I want no problems with the law.
If this has been answered please let me know, but all searches for "shotgun" within the OR. forum have not produced the intel I'm looking for. I travel into Springfield/Eugene every now and then, and was wondering if it's legal to OC a shotgun on the passenger side of the vehicle (barrel facing down, safety on, loaded but not racked)? In my town I don't think it's a problem because it's the norm to see rifles/shotguns carried this way, but as things seem a bit different in SPR/EUG to me, I just want to be sure. It's a Mossberg Persuader (pistol grip) and the barrel is 18.5" if that helps.
Also, what if it's on the back seat and unloaded completely, rounds in my glove box? Is this still considered open carry, even if my rear windows are tinted?
Lastly, if any/all of these methods are legal, could you point me in the direction of where this is in ORS so that I can print/laminate/memorize? Thank you!
