I don't get the CHL part. Its just wrong to allow concealed and not displayed weapons. I usually use a shoulder holster over my coat. Its more American to display your weapon.

That said, people have used other rights like self defense of home as defined as including vehicle and RV, as a reason to carry anywhere. I never heard about having your guns broken down being ok in federal parks. I thought all guns except for LEO were forbidden.

Here inBend the percentage of people with a CHL is high - I think the local college adult learning section has a one day class. Sometimes I wonder if terrorists attact Bend, how many armed citizens would return fire with loaded concealed weapons. You would have to be insane to burglarize a home in central Oregon here in redneck and hunting country doncha know. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> Ifn ya'all don't have a deer rifle then you aint fertilizer. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
