From Pat Garrett, Sheriff Washington County

My question is on the last entry below ->
Where Not To Carry Your Firearm
Quick Refresher for Those Who Carry Concealed
Oregon law provides very few limits on where a person with a Concealed Handgun License (CHL) can carry a firearm, and federal laws contain a few more prohibitions.
Even if you have a Concealed Handgun License, you cannot carry a firearm on any of the following properties:
- Federal buildings
- Court facilities
- Indian lands unless by tribal permission; this may also apply to certain casinos on Indian lands
- Secure areas of airports
- Social Security offices
- Posted private property where the owner prohibits firearms
For more information, read ORS 166.370.
What I understood was that if you are on Private property and asked to leave that you must. And if you are carrying legally and refuse to leave, that is a very serious trespass charge which might cause you to loose your gun rights. I had not heard about this "Posted" before. Also, posted does not appear in 166.370 - but I get that it might appear in some court ruling.
Does anyone know this for certain, so I don't have to spend the $$ with my lawyer?
Thanks,
