Just found this today: http://www.leg.state.or.us/11reg/measur ... 792.a.html

Reciprocity agreement with no restrictions from Oregon.

Passed the House 40-17.

Now it's onto the Senate

Does anyone have any more information about this?

Scheduled for a public hearing on Thursday http://gov.oregonlive.com/bill/2011/HB2792/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I wonder if it will be live audio? That will start 10:30 our time. Might have to toggle between that and the TX Senate.

Does anyone know the status of this?

Down on the left side of the original site. You have to click on the link. It still hasn't passed the senate yet and that is questionable.

http://www.oregonlive.com/politics/inde ... y_lic.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

...the originally posted link goes directly to the engrossed version...totally different from the enrolled version...

...your link is from March... a bill with that number passed the Senate and the bill has been signed by the governor...it does not read(enrolled version) anything like the engrossed version originally presented..there's the confusion...look where you told me to go and look at the bottom of the list...the enrolled version...that's what the Gubnah signed...NOT what they linked to in the OP...

Nope, it has been signed into law. Howecer, this has NOTHING to do with licensed cocelaed carry and/or reciprocity. It is basically their version of MPA for unlicensed individuals. See http://www.leg.state.or.us/11reg/measur ... 92.en.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Let me recant. In reading this, it does appear they have opened it up and honor any states license. See section 166.260 (i)

AN ACT


Relating to firearms; creating new provisions; amending ORS

emergency.

Be It Enacted by the People of the State of Oregon:

SECTION 1. ORS 166.250, as amended by section 8a, chapter 826,

166.250. (1) Except as otherwise provided in this section or

(B) The handgun is equipped with a trigger lock or other
locking mechanism that prevents the discharge of the firearm. + }
(5) Unlawful possession of a firearm is a Class A misdemeanor.
SECTION 2. ORS 166.250, as amended by sections 8a and 11a,
chapter 826, Oregon Laws 2009, is amended to read:
166.250. (1) Except as otherwise provided in this section or
ORS 166.260, 166.270, 166.274, 166.291, 166.292 or 166.410 to
166.470, a person commits the crime of unlawful possession of a
firearm if the person knowingly:



...and when you look up 166.260, it says nothing about reciprocity...and I can't find any (i)...

166.260 Persons not affected by ORS 166.250. (1) ORS 166.250 does not apply to or affect:

(a) Sheriffs, constables, marshals, parole and probation officers, police officers, whether active or honorably retired, or other duly appointed peace officers.

(b) Any person summoned by any such officer to assist in making arrests or preserving the peace, while said person so summoned is actually engaged in assisting the officer.

(c) The possession or transportation by any merchant of unloaded firearms as merchandise.

(d) Active or reserve members of the Army, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard or Marine Corps of the United States, or of the National Guard, when on duty.

(e) Organizations which are by law authorized to purchase or receive weapons described in ORS 166.250 from the United States, or from this state.

(f) Duly authorized military or civil organizations while parading, or the members thereof when going to and from the places of meeting of their organization.

(g) A corrections officer while transporting or accompanying an individual convicted of or arrested for an offense and confined in a place of incarceration or detention while outside the confines of the place of incarceration or detention.

(h) A person who is licensed under ORS 166.291 and 166.292 to carry a concealed handgun.

(2) It is an affirmative defense to a charge of violating ORS 166.250 (1)(c)(C) that the person has been granted relief from the disability under ORS 166.274.

(3) Except for persons who are otherwise prohibited from possessing a firearm under ORS 166.250 (1)(c) or 166.270, ORS 166.250 does not apply to or affect:

(a) Members of any club or organization, for the purpose of practicing shooting at targets upon the established target ranges, whether public or private, while such members are using any of the firearms referred to in ORS 166.250 upon such target ranges, or while going to and from such ranges.

(b) Licensed hunters or fishermen while engaged in hunting or fishing, or while going to or returning from a hunting or fishing expedition.

(4) The exceptions listed in subsection (1)(b) to (h) of this section constitute affirmative defenses to a charge of violating ORS 166.250. [Amended by 1977 c.207 §1; 1991 c.67 §36; 1993 c.735 §1; 1995 c.670 §2; 1999 c.1040 §3; 2009 c.316 §2; 2009 c.499 §4]

...the new bill (enrolled) doesn't say anything about 166.260 being amended...I've read it now 5 times...it does amend 166.250...

The bill as introduced would have added:
166.260. (i) A person who is not a resident of this state and who is authorized to carry a concealed handgun in another state pursuant to a valid license or permit that was issued in the other state by a state or local law enforcement agency, a court or other issuing authority.

That doesn't seem to be in the enrolled version.

Well, durn. I looked at it and thought I had the enrolled version, but didn't. :-(

If you look at the original bill as introduced, 166.260 (i) stated that 166.250 didn't apply to

(i) A person who is not a resident of this state and who
is authorized to carry a concealed handgun in another state
pursuant to a valid license or permit that was issued in the
other state by a state or local law enforcement agency, a court
or other issuing authority. +

However, after the Senate amendments, it appears section (i) was removed in the 2nd A-engrossed version. If left and enrolled, that would have opened up reciprocity for a licensee fro any state.

...dang...as they say...maybe next time...now I'm tired...time for my nap...
