Per the cached version of their "safety and security information":
*And of course this is just the beginning:
*Evidently "authorized by law" means it was not a "gun free campus" as other reports are claiming. See #26 on the list.
*§ 166.370:
Possession of firearm or dangerous weapon in public building or court facility ... (1) Any person who intentionally possesses a loaded or unloaded firearm or any other instrument used as a dangerous weapon, while in or on a public building, shall upon conviction be guilty of a Class C felony ... Subsection (1) of this section does not apply to ... A person who is licensed under ORS 166.291 (Issuance of concealed handgun license) and 166.292 (Procedure for issuing) to carry a concealed handgun.* From CBS Seattle:

Others called him a twisted hero. In the posts, there is a reference to the UC Santa Barbara shooter, who wrote a manifesto and videoed himself before opening fire a year ago. "This is the only time I'll ever be in the news. I'm so insignificant," reads an apparent post by the would-be Oregon gunman.* Is this what I think it is? If so, save before it gets taken down.
