Oregon Duty to Inform Police Laws (2026)

Info: Oregon has no statutory duty to inform: ORS chapter 166 has no provision requiring a Concealed Handgun License (CHL) holder to notify an officer during a stop, and no display-on-demand statute; ORS 166.292 only requires that the license be carried whenever carrying concealed, and failure to do so is prima facie evidence of non-licensure.
