i want to know the vehicle gun carry law

[turbothis]

so in oregon is it legal to put my ak47 in a gun rack in my pick-up?
with a mag in it?
loaded?
i imagine some county laws are different but i cant find crap about this on the internet. dam google!

before i get the why would you question, i just want to know my laws and to help others know them too. as my town chief put it " YOU are responsible to know the laws". lol, he did not answer to many of my simple questions.:America:

In some places there are bans on open carry, thus I imagine loaded in the truck would constitute this.

Here is a open carry web site, discussing oregon laws. Not sure if they are right, but might give you a idea of what to look for.

I am no laywer, and didnt stay at a holliday inn express last night either, thus for me and the rest of the internet, take the advice with thought of remember what you pay for it. Its free and thats all its worth, unless you get a better interpertaion of the laws on the books, by reading the statues yourself. Thats my two cents on it.

If you cross state lines, that is a definite no.

I thought that 'long guns' were unrestricted in carry by federal law.

"Open Carry" concerns handguns, not long guns.

Here in Texas, I can have the rifle in the gun rack, but personally, I don't like advertising.

Nalioth, some places roll both laws together, kinda like back to the wild west days, of no firearms within city limits and such.(looks like there is something of a hodge podge in that state though) I agree though open carry is useally hand guns, and also agree about advertiseing firearms so openly, when not in a activity like checking the range, or hunting, might not be such a good idea.

Seems there is a neat codicile about meninceing firearms too.

I think he would be good to read the laws, and still contact local leos, about their views on it, trying not to step on toes, unless a poster child case is needed and there is backing on legal bills by some one with deep pockets.

Last I heared it wasn't legal to have a loaded gun in the vehicle while on the road unless you happen to be on your own land. Would be nice if I was wrong on this one. Maybe its just marion county where I am.

One time I was pulled over and the cop took my 44 magnum revolver and spent a good long time back in his cop car. Maybe he was checking on if I was wanted for something. Then he noticed that those were empty shells in the gun.
