CAUTION: A Oregon Concealed Handgun License (CHL) does not authorize you to carry a firearm everywhere. Oregon

law provides a few limits on where a person with a Concealed Handgun License can carry a firearm, and federal laws

contain a few more prohibitions. Be aware that 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, federal post office

Airports, in secured areas of airports, and on airplanes

National forests or wilderness in which a specific local order prohibits firearms

Tribal reservations or Tribal property - you may not carry a firearm concealed without the written permission of

the tribal council; this may also apply to certain casinos on Tribal lands. In Umatilla County, contact the Tribal

Police for more information 541-278-0550.

Court Facility – A courthouse or portion of any building occupied by a Circuit Court, the Court of Appeals, the

Supreme Court or Oregon Tax Court. The entire facility, not just areas adjacent to the courtrooms.

Private property, business or facility where the owner prohibits firearms possession.

If found with a handgun on these premises you may be subject to arrest under Oregon Laws, in which case your concealed

handgun license would be seized and/or revoked.

ATTENTION: You must carry your valid concealed handgun license with you whenever you carry a concealed handgun.

Failure to carry a CHL when carrying concealed is prima facie evidence that the person does not have such a license.

WEAPONS POSSESSION: Possession of an Oregon Concealed Handgun License does not give you the right to possess a

firearm. There may be cases where you are prohibited by law from possessing a firearm or ammunition, yet qualify for an

Oregon CHL. If you are subject to certain restraining orders, have a conviction of a misdemeanor crime of domestic

violence, are addicted to drugs, or renounced you citizenship, you cannot lawfully possess a firearm or ammunition under

federal law. (18 USC 922)
