If rural counties don't want it, they don't have to do it.

If the residents of a local municipality feel that existence of gun carrying people in a public venue is menacing and not conducive to free expression, then--of course--they should be able to legislate a ban.

What about the rights of innocent people that have been killed and maimed? As a responsible handgun owner, I oppose assault weapons and they should NOT be allowed at peaceful protests or in our government buildings. It's intimidation and infringes on others rights

Way too many nuts with guns. If you ever take a CCP class you'd understand.

No I oppose... Our federal buildings I can understand. Taking my my right to defend myself and possibly others weakens us. Only law abiding citizens would be caring. They have been screened already by our Law Enforcement. It's the criminals that will carry No matter of any law.

It is just the first attempt to disarm the public. With this in place you will SEE MORE MASS SHOOTINGS, as they know no one will be able to defend themselves. Shows just how for these idiots have they heads up their asses. Pull all their protections as well then, be a good initiative ballot...

This does not address the root cause of the problem. It is nothing more than a knee jerk reaction...yet again. Great way to avoid the real problem and to disarm law abiding citizens while doing nothing to prevent the mentally ill and criminals from being armed at will.

Local governments have no legal authority to regulate weapons. I don't own a handgun and could care less if they are legal but it is not a local issue.

Local governments do not have the authority to limit ones ability to protect themselves or restrict rights granted by the constitution.

So, the only place allowed to carry concealed would be your house or apartment as all other places would be considered public. No thanks. All the mass shootings have happened in public places... Thats where I would want to be armed to protect myself. Do Not Take Anymore Of My Rights Away!!!!!!

The only people who will be armed will be the dishonest ones. I feel safer knowing that now others may be armed even if I am not. I was robbed at gunpoint 3 times in CA. where almost no one carried a gun but criminals. I did use a gun and one went to prison.

No it is against the second amendment and Gun control is nonsense, the bad guys will always have guns! What we need is more armed good citizens carrying guns so when some whacko starts shooting a good citizen can save lives by stopping them! Oregon needs, no permit concealed carry! Knives kill more

Charlie Kirk was a man of faith and gave his very life for the values I stand for. He was a voice heard around the world

He was a racist, white supremacist, and very divisive figure. The political violence that ended his lift is a terrible thing but it’s something he helped foment. This is the most ridiculous idea I can imagine.

I never heard of this guy before he was murdered, but it looks like he had a track record of saying awful things, and fomented the conditions in society that led to his demise. That's very tragic, but there are other people more deserving of a day.

Though this is a tragic incident and a terrible time of violence in our country, Mr. Kirk was not an elected official. We should honor his family and respect them in many ways and I certainly have sympathy for his family. But this does not warrant aday in Oregon devoted to his name or his politics.

A highly partisan figure in American politics should never be given a day of observance for any reason. It should be acknowledge that violence is not acceptable in any form for any reason, but it should not be honored and given Publicity because of it.

He was not a government figure, and while I don’t condone the violence that took his life, he called on his supporters to bail out others that committed violence against elected government officials.

This guy was homophobic, racist, and anti women’s rights. While I think his murder is wrong, he is not a hero. He encouraged hatred towards people he didn’t agree with their lifestyles in his “teachings”. I don’t think Jesus would support him…he preached love for everyone!

We didn't create a Melissa Hortmann day and she was a good person. Charlie Kirk's rhetoric was about racism, sexism, mysoginism, and divisiveness. He was not a good person and represented everything that was NOT Christian.
