Authorizes governing bodies of certain public entities that own or control public building to adopt policy, ordinance or regulation or precluding affirmative defense for possession of firearms in public building and adjacent grounds by concealed handgun licensees. Provides that in prosecution for possession of firearm in building or on grounds subject to such policy, ordinance or regulation, concealed handgun licensee affirmative defense is not complete defense, but results in Class A misdemeanor conviction punishable by 364 days' imprisonment, $6,250 fine, or both.

Yes of course a gun free zone will prevent shootings. Two points about the Anti gun people. They do not trust themselves
with a firearm let alone anyone else. Also a law abiding CHL holder is one bad day away from a mass shooter.
 
Should allow chl holders to sue the state for any injury or losses in case of an event.

The state verifies you and issues a permit then invalidates it.

To quote the testimony* of one old liberal lady from Eugene "Rough looking men with firearms accompanying our BLM protest were very intimidating and should be banned from the public park"

Make no mistake, they will call a public restroom a "public building" and "adjacent grounds" the entire city park just to ban you from sharing their space.


*From last years public input on Senate Bill 554.
 
Seems the focus is misplaced. Maybe closer to the 100th problem to focus on. Meanwhile choas and mayhem in most lefty cities escalates.

The last lefty city that I was recently in, unarmed and felt safe, was Monterey. The worst that can happen is the rich smell the poor on you resulting in a mean stare.
 
This is one of the bills that will make Oregon a patchwork quilt of no carry zones that will be impossible to navigate. You could lieerally pull over to make a phone call and be arrested for carrying in a prohibited zone. Like @JeremyK said, this will pass unless people take the time to call and write the legislators.

It's been referred to the house judiciary committee and this is a good place to start with emails and phone calls.

Two minute legal update:

Oregon and Washington best not try to ban the peaceful carry of firearms in so called "sensitive places" or they will get smacked down like New Jersey just did
 
No metal detectors. No problems.

Concealed is concealed.
Except that every time you drive or walk near one of these buildings, you'll be in violation. If you attend a public gathering near the capitol, you'll be in violation.

ETA: The bill is in the house judiciary committee. Call and email EVERY member and let them know you're opposed.
