Corvallis already has unlawful regulations on the books. I have previously documented the below listed transgressions of the City of Corvallis.
Municipal code
Section 5.03.120.020 Concealed weapons.
1) No person, other than, with regard to firearms, a person described by ORS 166.260 or licensed pursuant to ORS 166.291 through 166.293, shall carry concealed
on or about the person, or carry concealed and readily accessible about the person
within any vehicle, any firearm; any gun; . . .
NOTE: This ordinance exceeds local authority under 166.170 and 166.173. While the majority of the ordinance merely parrots state law, it attempts to expand concealed carry to “on or about the person” by a non CHL holder AND attempts to expand concealed vehicle carry to all firearms where state law only prohibits handguns. This is an expansion of state law and exceeds 166.173 authorities.
Section 5.03.120.030 Discharge of weapons.
1) No person, other than a police officer or animal control officer, shall fire or discharge within the City any bow and arrow, firearm, or gun.
NOTE: This ordinance exceeds local authority under 166.170 and 166.172. While the city can regulate discharge of weapons, this ordinance does not provide an exception for SD discharge as required by state law.
Section 5.03.120.050 Forfeiture of weapons.
1) Any weapon carried in violation of Section 5.03.120.020 or 5.03.120.060 or discharged in violation of Section 5.03.120.030 is a nuisance. Any such weapon taken from any person unlawfully carrying or discharging the weapon shall be surrendered to the Chief of Police.
NOTE: This ordinance exceeds local authority under 166.170, 166.172, and 166.173. Because section (1) relies upon 5.03.120.020 and 5.03.120.030 which are VOID due to exceeding local authority, this ordinance is also VOID.
Transit system rules
Section III Regulations
7. Weapons. No person, except a peace officer or person with a valid concealed weapon permit, shall bring into or carry aboard a City transit vehicle, or bring in to a shelter, any fire arm, knife (except a folding knife with a blade less than 3 ½ inches in length), any explosive device or material, or any other weapon.
NOTE: This ordinance exceeds local authority under 166.170, 166.173. Local ordinances can ONLY regulate the carry of LOADED weapons in “public places” (defined by ORS 161.015) by those who do not hold CHL. While the buses and shelters listed in this transit rule fall in the category of “public places,” the rule attempts to exclude non CHL holders carrying unloaded weapons. This is not allowed. In addition, it should be noted that these locations do NOT fall into the category of “Public Buildings” as defined in ORS 166.360.
