The Eugene '08 Festival is currently going on in Eugene, at and around the University of Oregon.The Eugene 08 Festivalwebsite (www.eugene08.com ) says all weapons are prohibited. Since this the University of Oregon is a PUBLIC university, my understanding of the law is that ORS 166.370 prohibits firearms IN university buildings (colleges and universities are listed as a "public building" in ORS 360), but they cannot prohibit open carry for non CHL holders on the grounds. Even if that is up for dispute, if someone is a CHL holder, they definitely have NO legal grounds to prohibit CHL holders from open or concealed carrying within the festival whatsoever.
I sent an Email to them about two weeks ago asking them to clarify the weapons policy, and under what authority they are prohibiting them, and (suprise) have received no response from them at all.
I would like to know if anyone is going to try, has tried, or has even succeeded in legally carrying a handgun, openly or concealed, in the festival.
