No. Like an emergency room or a bar, the events in a court house are to emotionally charged. An otherwise calm and rational person could have a momentary laps of control depending on the case; especially in a child custody battle.Under this logic, would you suggest legally licensed-to-carry individuals ought to be able to bring guns into local courthouses
, etc.?
Like a public school? Yes, citizens with a permit should be allowed to carry onto any public school:
Oregon Firearms Federation
Putting aside for a moment that Oregon does not issue "concealed weapons permits," this school just like every other public school in the state, has NO authority to forbid a person with a concealed handgun license from entering school property. While both Oregon and Federal law forbid people from being on school property with firearms, concealed handgun license holders are exempt from both laws.Oregon statute 166.370 forbids firearms in "public buildings" which schools are, but subsection B says "this section does not apply to:... (d) A person who is licensed under ORS 166.291 and 166.292 to carry a concealed handgun"
As we have said elsewhere, if you have a child you maycarry unto public school property.
You do not have a 'right' to be on my property unless the government says that you do not.
When you have hired me as an employee or are operating a business which is open to the public, yes, I have a right to be on your property; as an employee during my shift, and as a customer while doing business with you.
You cannot come on my property and say whatever you want, despite your freedom of speech.
Actually, unless I'm causing a disturbance (ie I'm damaging you, by causing customers to leave) yes I can. If I come into your diner and have a quiet conversation with a friend and you want to remove us simply because you disagree with what we're saying, you are braking Public Accommodation laws and can be cited by the city.
My holstered concealed pistol isn't harming anyone, either.
