What to Do After Being Charged With a Gun Crime in Oregon
If you are charged with a gun crime in Oregon, there are several steps you should take immediately to protect your rights and increase the likelihood of a positive outcome for your case:
● Exercise your right to remain silent: As soon as you are arrested or charged with a gun crime, you have the right to remain silent. It’s important to exercise this right and not say anything to law enforcement officers until you have spoken with a Medford gun rights attorney.
● Contact an experienced Oregon gun rights attorney: Time is of the essence when you are facing criminal charges. You should contact an experienced criminal defense attorney as soon as possible to protect your rights and start building your defense.
● Understand the charges against you: Your attorney will explain the specific charges against you and the potential consequences of a conviction. It’s crucial that you fully understand the charges and the potential penalties so that you can make informed decisions about your defense strategy.
● Gather any relevant evidence: If you have any evidence that could help your case, such as witness statements, video
footage, or physical evidence, you should gather it and provide it to your attorney.
● Avoid discussing your case with anyone: It’s always in your best interest to avoid discussing your case with anyone other than your attorney. Anything you say could be used against you in court.
● Attend all court appearances: Make it your top priority to attend all scheduled court appearances, including arraignment and any pre-trial hearings. Failing to appear in court can result in additional charges and/or a warrant being issued for your arrest.
Oregon’s Gun Laws
Oregon's gun laws are generally considered to be among the more strict in the United States. Some key features of Oregon's gun laws include:

2. Permit to purchase: Oregon does not require a permit to purchase firearms.
3. Permit to carry: Oregon is a "shall issue" state for concealed carry permits, meaning that individuals who meet certain criteria, such as passing a background check and completing a training course, must be issued a permit.
4. Magazine capacity: Oregon limits magazine capacity to 10 rounds for handguns, and 5 rounds for shotguns when used for hunting.
5. Assault weapons ban: Oregon has not enacted a specific ban on assault weapons, but certain types of firearms, including some
semi-automatic rifles, are classified as "assault weapons" under state law and are subject to additional restrictions.
6. Domestic violence: Oregon has specific laws prohibiting individuals convicted of domestic violence or subject to a restraining order from owning or possessing firearms.
7. Gun-free zones: The state of Oregon prohibits firearms in certain locations, including schools, courthouses, and some government buildings.
