About IP-21
Creates a Safer Oregon.

Protects our 2A Rights.
​
Constitutional Carry for Oregon (CCFO) will turn Oregon into America's next constitutional carry state. What does that mean? Currently, Oregonians can open carry, but we can't concealed carry without asking permission from our government. Here's why we think that's wrong.
Our petition title for IP-21 is: “Establishing the right to carry concealed firearms without permit.”
We're amending the Oregon Constitution by adding one simple line, shown in bold below. The proposed text is as follows: “PARAGRAPH 1. Section 27, Article I of the Constitution of the State of Oregon, is amended to read: Sec. 27. (1) The people shall have the right to bear arms for the defense of themselves, and the State, but the Military shall be kept in strict subordination to the civil power. (2) The right described in subsection (1) of this section includes the right to carry, without a permit, a concealed firearm.”
We have started the process of collecting 160,551 signatures by July 5, 2024. Once we're successful, IP-21 will appear on the November 2024 ballot.
Our Team
Constitutional Carry for Oregon (CCFO), otherwise known as IP-21, was conceived and is led by a group of grassroots volunteers who came together with the desire to reassert our constitutional rights and make Oregon a freer, safer state. Our effort isn't managed, funded by, or connected to any organized group other than the one we've just created. Our goal: turn Oregon into America's next constitutional carry state in the 2024 November election.
