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.
