Oregon does not require a permit to purchase or register firearms. Buyers present photo ID, complete ATF Form 4473, and undergo a background check through the Oregon State Police Firearms Instant Check System, costing $10. Federal law mandates buyers be 18 for rifles and shotguns and 21 for handguns. Private sales also require a background check at a licensed dealer. Measure 114, proposing a permit to purchase, is delayed until January 1, 2028 and remains under court review.
Dealers in these communities all work for Eugene-area buyers:
Open carry of unloaded or loaded handguns is legal for adults in most of Oregon, though cities and counties may ban loaded firearms in public under ORS 166.173, as Portland and others have done. A concealed handgun license exempts holders from these bans. The license, issued by the Lane County Sheriff, requires applicants to be 21, a resident, pass a background check, and complete a handgun safety course. Licenses are valid for four years. Since 2025, local governments may prohibit licensed carry in their public buildings.
Oregon's 2026 hunting seasons include western Oregon general rifle buck deer hunting from October 3 to November 6, while eastern Oregon buck hunting is limited to controlled Deer Hunt Areas drawn by lottery. General elk tags cover the West Cascade season (November 7-13), Coast first season (November 14-17), Coast second season (November 21-27), and eastern Rocky Mountain second season for spike bulls (November 7-15). Legal firearms include centerfire rifles of .22 caliber or larger for deer and .24 or larger for elk, with semi-automatics limited to five rounds.
The McKenzie Unit east of Eugene spans blacktail deer and elk country in the Willamette National Forest, while the Siuslaw Unit west of Veneta extends to the coast. Fern Ridge Reservoir is the valley's primary waterfowl hunting area.
Shooters and hunters in Eugene have access to Fern Ridge Wildlife Area ten miles west, the state archery range at Junction City Pond to the north, and the Willamette National Forest an hour up the McKenzie River.
The public ranges listed on the city pages are run or listed by state wildlife agencies, state forests or the U.S. Forest Service. Many ask for a hunting license, a range pass or a small fee, and hours change with the season, so check the agency page before you drive.
