OFF ALERT 3/15/07 Deschutes To Remove "No Guns" Signs.
Gun
owners in Deschutes County got a small but significant victory
today.
On March 9th, OFF was contacted by a Deschutes County gun owner
and informed that the county buildings were posted with signs
stating that carrying a firearm in a county building was a felony,even
with a permit. This is not true. CHL holders are very speciifically
allowed in county builldings with firearms.
We contacted Deschutes County and informed them that their policy
was unlawful.
On March 14th we received a phone call from Deschutes County
Commissioner Mike
Daly. He informed us that he thought we "were right"
and promised to change the policy. Today, March 15th, we recieved
an e-mail from Dave Kanner, the County Administrator simply
saying "The signage will be changed.
The county has no formally adopted policy, but will comply with
ORS 166."
If you know of similar violations
in your area, please let us know.
