Which of the following locations does NOT allow concealed carry even with a CHL in Oregon?

  1. State parks

  2. Federal buildings

  3. Restaurants serving alcohol

  4. Public Universities

The correct answer is: Federal buildings

The correct response is that federal buildings do not allow concealed carry, even with a Concealed Handgun License (CHL) in Oregon. This restriction is rooted in federal law, which prohibits firearms in certain government locations, including federal courthouses and any federal facilities. The reasoning behind this is to ensure safety and security within government operations and public spaces managed by the federal government. In contrast, while there are restrictions in state parks regarding where and how firearms may be carried, they generally do permit concealed carry with a valid CHL. Similarly, restaurants serving alcohol may allow concealed carry, provided that the individual does not consume alcohol while carrying a firearm. Public universities in Oregon also allow concealed carry, albeit with certain regulations to enhance campus safety. The clear distinction for federal buildings is anchored in federal law, which supersedes local state regulations concerning firearms.
