Is it legal to carry a loaded firearm in a vehicle with an Oregon CHL?

Yes, without restriction
No
Yes, but only in the trunk
Yes, but not on personal property

The correct answer is: Yes, without restriction

Carrying a loaded firearm in a vehicle with an Oregon Concealed Handgun License (CHL) is indeed permitted without restriction. The Oregon law allows individuals with a valid CHL to carry a concealed handgun in their vehicle, loaded or unloaded, in a way that complies with the law. This means that as long as the individual is legally authorized to possess a firearm and has the appropriate license, they can carry it in a loaded state within their vehicle. In contrast, the other options do not reflect the current legal framework. For instance, prohibiting loaded firearms in vehicles would contradict the rights granted by the CHL. Similarly, stating that firearms must only be in the trunk or cannot be on personal property misrepresents the flexibility offered to CHL holders under Oregon law for lawful transportation of firearms.
