CO2 Launchers and Oregon Law
Oregon passed Measure 114 in 2022 imposing new restrictions on conventional firearms, but CO2-powered self defense launchers are not affected — they are not classified as firearms under Oregon law or federal law. Residents in Portland, Salem, Eugene, Gresham, Hillsboro, and throughout the state can purchase one with no permit, no background check, and no waiting period.
Oregon's diverse landscape — from Portland's urban neighborhoods to the Cascade Mountains and coastal communities — creates varied personal safety needs. The CO2 launcher is effective in all these environments and ships directly to Oregon addresses.
