When is the handgun ACCESSIBLE in the vehicle?

Pistol Class.

What does accessible mean in the Oregon laws?

"Oregon applies an “accessibility” standard by statute, which in substance declares a handgun in the traveling compartment is “accessible” to all in the vehicle. While the statute is direct and clear, it is generally treated as a presumption that can be overcome factually. For example, is the handgun actually accessible if one does not know it is there? An alternative question is whether the handgun is truly accessible if it is physically being carried by the other person and cannot be accessed? Yet a third question deals with whether the handgun can be accessed in a glove box or console."

These questions are answered in the book Oregon Concealed.

Copywrite in Don Leach, Attorney, 2012; Oregon Concealed - The Best Defense - Use of Deadly Force: I have written a practical easy to read how to book  helping those who carry concealed understand the legal world of a defensive contact and dealing with enforcement. It will be available in July, 2012 at the oregonconcealed.com web site.
