I'm no lawyer, but I know cops, including Portland cops.
Just because one is a cop does not mean he/she is up on all the gun laws, remember, he's not a lawyer anyway.
Knowing that, I think most Portland Cops do know that a CC permit is valid. But since CC means "concealed carry" if it was me, I'd carry concealed.
You may be 100% right, but I wouldn't' want to spend the night in the poky so I could prove I'm right.
I carry under the LEOSA, and I could carry open if I so choose, but I don't want the headache, nor do I want to stand out or make some body's granny nervous.
Side note about Oregon and the LEOSA. They were well a head of the game, they always allowed out of state officers or out of state retired officers to carry concealed.
Oregon has an outstanding LEOSA qualification program, I go to the Clackamas County Sheriff's Office to get my yearly qualification.
Just a bit of useless information.
JMHO
