The Be All / End All Legality Discussion -- Read it all

There is a lot of bad information floating around about the legality of where you can and cannot play Airsoft in Oregon.

Since we cross state lines, I will address the states of Oregon and Washington.

There are two levels of law which need to be looked at… State Code and City Ordinances. While state codes are the highest form of state law, city ordinances have the same weight and force within their jurisdictions. In other words, a City anti-littering law is just as valid and enforceable as a State anti-littering law; they have the same effect.

In Oregon and Washington, according to the Letter of the Law it is legal to play Airsoft in UNINCORPORATED areas of the state. In other words, outside of city limits. Basically, if you can hunt there legally, you can play Airsoft. Inside of city limits, the whole thing changes. Individual cities utilize city ordinances to regulate legal activities within their borders. It is up to YOU to know what the city ordinances for a given jurisdiction. Google the City Name and the words “City Ordinancesâ€
