Under Oregon law, which of the following is considered a loaded firearm?

  1. A firearm with an empty magazine inserted

  2. A firearm with ammunition in a separate container

  3. A firearm with ammunition in the chamber or in a magazine inserted in the firearm

  4. A firearm with the safety on

The correct answer is: A firearm with ammunition in the chamber or in a magazine inserted in the firearm

In Oregon, a firearm is considered loaded when there is ammunition in the chamber or in a magazine inserted in the firearm. This means that even if the firearm has its safety on (option D), it is still considered loaded as long as there is ammunition in the chamber or in a magazine inserted. Options A and B are not considered loaded firearms under Oregon law. With option A, even though the magazine is empty, if there is ammunition in the chamber, the firearm is still considered loaded. Option B, having ammunition in a separate container, does not meet the definition of a loaded firearm according to Oregon law. Therefore, option C is the correct choice as it aligns with Oregon law on what constitutes a loaded firearm.
