About

The Oregon Trail Trader (the Trader) is a gun shop that has been operated by three generations of owners since its opening in 1977. It is located at 2312 Adams Avenue, which was previously occupied by another shooting sports store. This building has retailed firearms and sporting goods since it was built in 1959.

 

Currently, the Trader is owned and operated by Karl Baum. Karl has served in the Oregon Army National Guard for 20 years and deployed to Iraq twice in that time frame.

Karl grew up in La Grande, Oregon, went to college at Eastern Oregon University and he and his wife are raising three kids.

 

In 2022 the Trader purchased majority ownership in Windhill Holsters and moved it to the Adams Avenue address.  

 

The Trader is committed to being northeast Oregon’s premier supplier of firearms, optics, knives, suppressors and much more. Offering new and used firearms, consignments, and estate purchases, the Trader is one of a kind.
