Is it legal to carry a concealed handgun in a public building in Oregon with a CHL?

  1. Yes, in all cases

  2. No, never

  3. Yes, but only if the building does not prohibit it

  4. No, unless you are law enforcement

The correct answer is: Yes, but only if the building does not prohibit it

In Oregon, it is generally legal to carry a concealed handgun in a public building with a CHL as long as the building does not explicitly prohibit it. This means that while you can carry in many public buildings, such as stores or restaurants, there are certain places like courthouses or federal buildings where carrying a concealed handgun is prohibited. So, the correct answer is C. Options A and B are too absolute in their statements. While Oregon allows carrying in many public buildings, there are exceptions where it is not allowed. Option D is not entirely accurate because individuals with a CHL are allowed to carry in public buildings unless specifically prohibited, not just restricted to law enforcement.
