Oregon Gun Law is a Medford-based legal service focused exclusively on Oregon firearm and hunting-rights restoration. Led by attorney Shawn Kollie, we help eligible Oregonians regain lawful access to hunting, firearms, and outdoor traditions through statute-accurate, plain-English guidance—statewide.
Hunting privileges in Oregon can be lost for several reasons, including:
Criminal convictions tied to firearm possession
Wildlife violations or suspensions through ODFW
Firearm prohibitions that prevent lawful hunting
In many cases, restoring hunting rights requires addressing the root legal issue first, such as:
Firearm-rights restoration under ORS 166.274
Felony reduction or expungement
Administrative reinstatement through the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW)
Each situation is different, and eligibility depends on your history and current status.

We review why your hunting rights were lost and identify the correct legal pathway.
2. Record Review
We examine court records, ODFW suspensions, and OSP/FICS data where applicable.
3. Required Petitions or Filings
This may include firearm-rights restoration, expungement, or administrative reinstatement steps.
4. Court or Agency Review
