What do you guys think?
According to ORS 166.250 " It is unlawful to possess a handgun that is concealed and readily accessible to the person within any vehicle".
But one of the defences to the crime states " Firearms carried openly in belt holsters are not concealed within the meaning of this section".
If I am carrying my gun on my right side and I am stopped by a LEO who cannot see my weapon, is this considered "carried openly" or would I be charged for concealing it?"
Also the law states a person can carry a handgun concealed if they are in engaged in licensed fishing or hunting. What about crabbing? Reason I ask is because you don't have to have a fishing license to crab, just a shellfish license.
Just some things to think about
