State v. Leslie

Defendant appeals from a judgment of conviction for two counts of unlawful possession of a firearm, ORS 166.250, based on defendant’s possession of two handguns that were found concealed, but readily accessible, in a truck in which defendant lived. Defendant contends, in part, that the trial court erred in denying his motion for judgment of acquittal based on the “place of residence” exception set out in ORS 166.250(2)(b). We agree with defendant that his truck was his “place of residence” for purposes of ORS 166.250(2)(b). Consequently, we reverse.1

The material facts are undisputed.…
