Can you carry on Tri-Met? According to their policies it says 'No', but Tri-Met is a 'municipal corporation' with board members selected by the Govorner. If this is a government agency doesn't that preclude them from limiting firearm rights in Oregon? Obviously in Multomah cty you can't open carry, but I'm wondering about rifles.
Normally I take Max from work downtown to the Expo when there is a show. This week, however, I'm planning on purchasing a rifle or two. Obviously this is a little hard to conceal. If the rifle is in a case and unloaded does Tri-Met have the authority to deny me access?
Here is the relevant text from the Tri-Met regs: No person, except a peace officer, shall bring or carry aboard a District Vehicle any firearm, knife (except a folding knife with a blade less than 3 ½ inches in length), or any other instrument, article, device, material or substance specifically designed for, or attempted to be used to, inflict or cause bodily harm to another, except in accordance with administrative rules as may be promulgated by the General Manager or otherwise provided by law. Where possession of such weapons cannot be prohibited by law, a person in possession of a weapon may not display or carry the weapon in a manner which is likely to result in fear or alarm by other persons or District employees.
Thanks,
Brian
