Is a New York Resident Permit Valid in Oregon?

Why

• Oregon does not recognize any out-of-state carry permit.

Oregon recognizes no out-of-state carry permit of any kind. Official state license directory: 'Generally there is no reciprocity with other states concealed handgun licenses. If you want to carry a concealed handgun in Oregon, you will need an Oregon Concealed Handgun License.'

Carry rules in Oregon

Recognition is only half the question. Once you're inside Oregon, its carry rules apply to you exactly as they do to locals.

• No Oregon statute requires a carrier to proactively inform police; a CHL holder should present the license on request.
• Oregon sets no state magazine-capacity limit for handguns.
• Oregon is not a permitless-carry state: concealed carry there requires a permit Oregon recognizes.
• Carrying a concealed, readily accessible loaded handgun in a vehicle requires an Oregon CHL (ORS 166.250); an out-of-state permit does not substitute.
