Can my alarm permit be revoked?

Yes, Washington County Ordinance 8.12.127 requires revocation of your permit for failure to pay any fee, fine, or penalty within 90 days. The ordinance also allows the sheriff to revoke your alarm permit for excessive false alarms during any rolling 12-month period.

In addition, any unpaid false alarm fines that caused the revocation may be sent to collections. When this happens, the alarm user must pay off the balance of their alarm account, as well as any related collection charges before the account can be removed from "revoked" status.

Even with a concealed handgun license, where can I not carry a firearm?

Oregon law provides some limits on where a person with a Concealed Handgun License (CHL) can carry a firearm, and federal laws contain a few more prohibitions. Even if you have a Concealed Handgun License, you cannot carry a firearm on any of the following properties:

  • Federal facilities - federal courthouses, social security offices, in secured areas of airports, and on airplanes
  • State Capitol Building
  • National forests marked or posted by signs prohibiting all firearms
  • Public or private schools where signs have been posted prohibiting all firearms and a notice has been posted on the website by the governing board
  • Designated wilderness areas (where a specific declaration has enacted a restriction or prohibition of firearms)
  • Indian reservations or Indian property - you may not carry a firearm concealed without the written permission of the tribal judge; this may also apply to certain casinos on Indian lands. We advise people to contact the individual tribe to determine what the current rules are for that location.
  • Courts - in a courtroom, jury room, judge's chambers or adjacent areas that the presiding judge determines should be free of firearms to ensure the safety of the litigants, court personnel, witnesses and others.
  • Private property where the owner prohibits firearms possession.
  • No person may bring a firearm, weapon or other contraband into the secure perimeter of the Washington County Jail, and all visitors to the jail must go through a security screening and metal detector. Knowingly introducing contraband into a correctional facility is a Class C felony.
