I am new to the OC ways of life and was curious what the laws were regarding walking on public sidewalks, is it legal if you are not within 1000 feet of a school or violating any other laws set forth?

Welcome to the site!

You would be correct regarding walking on the sidewalk.

Where you can't carry...
-Government Buildings
-Vehicles
-State Parks
-Place which sell alcohol for consumption (bars, restaurants, etc)
-within 1000 ft. of a 1-12 school on public property (streets & sidewalks)

You have posted in the Wisconsin sub-forum.

For state specific information, I suggest that you visit the Oregon section as that is where your profile indicates you live.
