Laurie, thanks for the great info. Concealed in a casino is ok or is that a gray area also? Thanks.

I believe that's the case, but the few times I've been pulled over I've advised the officer that I'm carrying and have a permit.

I've had a permit in Oregon since '84 and carry frequently and have never had an incident with LEO's, property, or business owners. But I do my best to conceal my handgun with proper clothing. What people don't know doesn't hurt them applies in this situation.

Open carry in Oregon's "outback" has never been an issue and legal for as long as I can remember. Most natives assume locals are armed, primarily to protect themselves from Cougar, Bear, and now Wolves. Simply put, the issues come from metropolitan immigrants, usually well educated except when it comes to a State Law they don't know or agree with. :bang:

Cougars are a real danger. Especially at some of those 'outback' bars! Last thing you want to get cornered by.

Not agreeing with the law...That IS the main culprit. Good comment.

Carrying in casinos is definately frowned upon. Keep your eyes peeled to any signage that is posted at the entry doors or in the parking garage, ususally by the elevators. Again, if carrying concealed, don't display any imprint or make it obvious and what they dont see.....(wink wink)

They might just ask you to put it in your car or they might offer you a safe box in the security office. I would kindly refuse both options and go someplace else.

I don't agree with you most of the time. Whatcha gonna do about it? :poke:

brave man....... :peepwall:

So true, I'd much rather wake up with a hungry wounded Mountain Lion......They smell better and much less chance of wound infection. :D

Laurie, thanks for sharing.

I find the above true in most cases, and particularly with the police in general around here. Maybe they are ignorant or maybe they don't care. I do think our town has a good force. Even if they have a retired military tank, at least they aren't roaming the streets in it. :warning: My brother in law is a cop, and he's the one telling me that federal law trumps state law. I had to remind him of the 10th amendment. :rules: I think any officer should be required to be educated on the laws they are supposed to be enforcing. I'll go a step further and suggest that officers should be more like firefighters and remain in the station until they are called upon. :idea: But I digress.

It's one of the reasons I got a Utah permit, because I really did not want my CCW permit to be tied with my drivers license. What does driving have to do with carrying a firearm anyway? Therefor, I would could keep any CCW info on a need to know basis if pulled over. I believe we have the castle law here in MO that states my vehicle, like my home is my property. MO residents can transport and keep a gun in the car as long as its concealed. No permit required.

For NEVADA...

NRS 200.120  “Justifiable homicide” defined; no duty to retreat under certain circumstances.

-OR-


as the old saying goes....



I'd rather be judged by 12.... than carried by 6
