Passing through Malheur County, Oregon.

imported post

I'm 18 with no permits of any kind, but am planning on open carrying on my way through the southern part of Malheur County, Oregon on Highway 95 on my way through to Boise Idaho from Nevada.

Since Oregon allows counties and cities to regulate firearm posession etc. I looked up Malheur, Oregon rules and determined they are only prohibited at Bully Creek Park and Reservoir, which I have no intention of going through.

On google maps, the only town on the Highway that showed up was "Burns Junction" which online I couldn't find any information about nor laws.

So basically, I presume that I should be fine passing through. I probably won't stop at anywhere except maybe gas stations, and maybe rest areas if there are some. (Is there any laws concerning firearms in rest areas? my limited search only revealed no discharge permitted.)

But I just figured I'd mention it in case there was something in the law I wasn't noticing.

I had no problems in Malheur. I only got out to read historical markers and to look around Jordan Valley City a little bit. No real interaction with anyone.

Sorry that you didn't get any responses in your thread. I am not familiar with the area and have just recently become involved in the forum.

I would imagine that in locations such as that, you wouldn't have much trouble. Seems that it's only the more populated areas that are concerned with restricting open carry.
