This is an "old" story, but an interesting one. In Medford, Oregon at the beginning of September a teacher was confronted by her employers who asked her if she was carrying her handgun after they became aware of her concealed carry permit. There is a story on the
Oregon Live website. It is worth a look. On page three several officials indicate that the state carry law seemingly trumps individual rules.
My gym, for example, has a "no weapons on site" rule, and while I don't carry at the gym out of respect for this rule and because I signed the contract agreeing to it, I would prefer to carry. I usually go to work out with my wife about 4 or 4:30 in the morning, and we have stumbled across drug deals and other unsavory folks. The "no weapons" means neither my wife or I can carry mace, a taser, a handgun or any other means of protection to or from the gym.
I am interested to hear how the lawsuit by the instructor plays out in the Oregon school district, and I wonder whether or not this would impact the right of businesses to require “no weapons” policies in contracts with licensed individuals.
