Has anyone attempted this? The cops are pretty nuts in this city. Let me know of your experiences. Thanks

Keep it up. I am from the Lebanon area and am open carrying whenever I go to town. I think we are the only ones in this neck of the woods!

During fair weather i tend to ride my bicycle everywhere.. which will include to the range in comeing months..

So I recently asked a pair of benton county sheriffs about this. Their opinion the best way was to just get a conceled carry license, but while on a bike open carry in a visable holster was more then acceptable.


now i just need to find an cpd officer to pose the same question to before I attempt it as weather gets nicer.

Hi, I OC last summer when heading to the woods to look for mushrooms. It was uneventful but I wasn't around town much that day. I have no idea what CorvallisPD might think about it, (nor would I ever like to find out).

Had a really bad experience in WA state a few years back... but would like to start open carrying again.

Firearms may be openly carried in cars without any license except where localities have made open carry illegal; however, an Oregon concealed handgun permit holder is exempt from all local open carry bans. To our knowledge, only the cities of Portland, Beaverton, Tigard, Oregon City, Salem, and Independence have passed loaded firearms bans encompassing all public places.
