Oregon Concealed Carry Reciprocity Map

Oregon is a shall-issue state that requires a permit to conceal carry. Licenses are issued to adults who meet certain qualifications. The sheriff does reserve the right to deny a carry permit if they have good reason to believe the applicant presents a danger to themselves or others. Oregon does not offer reciprocity to any other U.S. state. 

To qualify for an Oregon concealed carry permit, you must be at least 21 years old; be a citizen or legal alien of the United States; be a resident of Oregon; demonstrate competency with a handgun, and meet all federal requirements. There are also certain factors that can disqualify you from obtaining an Oregon concealed handgun license. 

Open carry is legal in Oregon without a permit for those over the age of 18 who are legally allowed to possess a firearm. That said, cities and counties have the right to restrict who may open carry and where, and federal facilities and Indian reservations are always off-limits.
