Which locations are you prohibited from carrying a concealed handgun in Oregon, even with a CHL?

Restaurants serving alcohol
Public schools
State parks
Private residences

The correct answer is: Public schools

In Oregon, carrying a concealed handgun is prohibited in public schools, which includes both the grounds and buildings of K-12 schools. This restriction is in place to enhance the safety and security of educational environments, recognizing the unique vulnerabilities associated with schools. The law reflects the understanding that schools serve as spaces for learning and development, and the presence of firearms can pose significant risks in such settings. School districts may further define their policies, but the overarching state law provides a clear mandate against carrying concealed firearms in these areas. The other locations listed have different regulations. For example, while carrying in restaurants that serve alcohol has specific conditions, such as not drinking while armed, state parks typically allow concealed carry. Private residences generally permit concealed handguns as long as they are owned by the individual holding the CHL. Thus, the prohibition in public schools stands out as a critical safety measure within Oregon's gun laws.
