The correct answer is: Yes, anywhere in the vehicle

With an Oregon Concealed Handgun License (CHL), individuals are permitted to carry a loaded firearm in their vehicle. This includes the ability to keep the firearm anywhere within the confines of the vehicle, as long as it is concealed from the view of the public. The law affirms that a valid CHL allows the license holder to have a loaded firearm in various locations inside the vehicle, whether it’s in the center console, under a seat, or in the trunk, provided it remains concealed. This reflects a broader intention to empower licensed individuals with the means to carry for self-defense while ensuring public safety by requiring the firearm to be hidden from view. The incorrect responses highlight common misconceptions, such as the requirement for a firearm to be unloaded in the vehicle, or restrictions on where it can be stored. However, Oregon law allows for more flexibility for those who have obtained the necessary permits.
