I went through my class yesterday 9/25/2011. This is not true from what i learned and after october 1st you do not even need to holster your weapon you can just lay on dash if you want! IMO that is very stupid because if you get in an accident best case you have a flying brick in your car worst case it flies out and is picked up by a kid around the accident. Our instructor even told us that you are allowed to carry in public rest stops now which i would believe are ran by ODOT?!?!?
