You are spreading factually in accurate information PLEASE STOP! the campus is not a gun free zone Legal concealed carry is allowed on all public schools from K through college in Oregon, Please do your research before you post, a lot of people don’t think they can carry on campus so they don’t and reports like this don’t help
When will they learn. You can save lives by carrying.
Gotta love those idiotic gun free zone so loved by liberals /sarc.

“except as expressly authorized by law “…….. Oregon Sate law expressly exempts conceal carry permit holders from rules prohibiting carrying guns in schools K thru college. But one source says lots of schools openly violate that provision and ban guns anyway. Does UCC ban guns in violation of Oregon law?
