    I posed the following in a gun forum and if your state requires a permit to carry concealed it's possible that you can carry NFA items using your permit. In my case I want to be able to lawfully carry my folding bag gun as a loaded truck gun or carry the firearm concealed in the bag, but also want to convert it from a pistol to an SBR so I can use a stock instead of a brace and also place it in my NFA trust for additional protection.

    It might be worth checking the wording in your state laws as it pertains to concealed firearms.

    ============================================================================

    Does an Oregon CHL Allow Concealed Carry of an SBR?

    That's the question and it does appear that ORS 166.260 (1)(i) allows this. I think I have all bases covered, but what did I miss?


    Per the ATF a SBR is a type of firearm, and ORS.250 and ORS.260 refer to firearms in their wording

    [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.atf.gov/firearms/docs/undefined/atf-national-firearms-act-handbook-chapter-2/download[/URL]

    ORS 166.250 – Unlawful possession of firearms (Unlawful possession of firearms)

    ORS 166.260 – Persons not affected by ORS 166.250 (Persons not affexted not affected by ORS 166.250)

    xORS 166.250 (Unlawful possession of firearms) does not apply to or affect:
    ...
    (1.i) A person who is licensed under ORS 166.291 (Issuance of concealed handgun license) and 166.292 (Procedure for issuing) to carry a concealed handgun.


    Analysis from Oregon Gun Law on this section (https://www.oregongunlaw.com/post/chl-faqs) does not specify SBR's or other NFA items
