In Oregon, where is it prohibited to carry a concealed handgun, even with a CHL?

  1. National parks

  2. Public schools

  3. Private vehicles

  4. Shooting ranges

The correct answer is: Public schools

Carrying a concealed handgun in public schools in Oregon is prohibited, even for those with a Concealed Handgun License (CHL). This restriction is in place because schools are sensitive environments where the presence of firearms can pose significant safety risks to students and staff. The law aims to ensure these spaces remain secure and free from the potential threats that firearms can introduce. In contrast, the other locations mentioned, such as national parks, private vehicles, and shooting ranges, have different regulations regarding the carrying of concealed firearms. For instance, carrying in national parks is generally allowed when it complies with both state and federal laws, while in private vehicles, individuals typically can transport firearms under certain conditions. Shooting ranges often encourage the practice of firearms in a controlled environment, where concealed carry may be permitted.
