I recently visited and toured the caves near Cave Junction. The gift shop/visitor center was posted but was told that I could not carry in the cave. Had to lock up in the car. Is a cave considered a federal building?

Is this a state or national park ??
if it is a public place and you have a chl, you are exempt, you should be ok to carry your firearm and they cant stop you by law if I`m correct.
I looked it up and it says it is a national monument, so I believe you have the right to carry .
Did you see any signs stating the laws and any no guns/firearms signs ??
"Touring Oregon Caves has been a tradition for more than a century. Today, tours are conducted by The National Park Service. Guides ."

Yet, the march of many feet adorned with shoes will not harm the cave ecosystem. If the cave can only be accessed through a manned building, then no guns. Ya gotta go down the trail a ways, across the parking lot, it ain't no building.
I suspect that the claim of building is a intentional and unlawful act, though the on-site peon may only be following policy.
