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

Yes, but only in plain view
Yes, concealed or openly
No, all firearms must be unloaded
Only if the firearm is locked in a glove compartment

The correct answer is: Yes, concealed or openly

The correct answer is that it is indeed legal to carry a loaded firearm in a vehicle in Oregon with a Concealed Handgun License (CHL), whether concealed or openly. Oregon law allows individuals with a valid CHL to transport a loaded firearm in a vehicle, which provides significant flexibility and convenience for those who are trained and licensed to carry a handgun. This provision is designed to accommodate lawful firearm ownership while promoting responsible practices among individuals who have undergone the necessary training and background checks to obtain their CHL. This means that as long as an individual complies with all other applicable laws regarding the handling and use of firearms, they can carry their loaded handgun in their vehicle without it needing to be visible or locked away.
