    What happened?

    I've been gone for a while, life has been hectic and other things have kept me from the forum for quite some time. Today I logged in and found that I'm not the only one that's been absent. We have issues here in Oregon. There is currently a confiscation initiative trying to get on the ballot...

    Unlawful (preempted) Ordinance challenges across the state.

    Okay, it's been a year since I finished my document on Oregon cities with preempted firearms ordinances (and not preemped ones). I'm not aware of anyone having used the data to challenge any local ordinances in their area, including here locally. SO, I am about to embark (started already)...

    SALEM RALLY 9 FEB 2015 The Heirs of Patrick Henry

    This event is about ALL rights, not just firearms or Open Carry, and the challenges we will be facing over the next two years with a fully democrat party controlled legislature and executive. Open Carry is welcome (though it is not THE emphasis of rally). That said, I'm certain there will be a...

    Anyone with Oregon Open Records experience?

    I want to do an Open Records request for 911 calls, dispatch recordings, and police calls for a one hour period in Portland on a specific day. Looking at Portland PD's web site it appears that they want to charge "$50 per hour, minimum" JUST for copies of 911 calls. My understanding is that...

    The right way to handle an OC encounter with police

    This is the right way to handle an open carry encounter with police. Unfortunately, they got stopped at a traffic light.....that's another video.....and didn't get the full effect. But it's priceless how they just say "Have a nice day" and walk away. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tuiRUL27qis...

    After three years OC I finally had an OC related police interaction (with A/V)

    So after more than three years of daily OC I finally had an encounter (on 3 Jan) with law enforcement due to the OC. Had I not been walking with a long gun carrier I'm guessing they never would have "stopped by". On the bright side, it was a consensual encounter rather than a detainment and...

    Yesterday a group of pro gun types "crashed" a cease fire Oregon gun buyback in Portland. The Oregonian actually wrote a fairly decent story on the issue and there's a GREAT quote from Portland PD as well. How does this involve Open Carry? I was there OC the whole time and no LEO contacts at...

    Peets Coffee (bane of OCers) SOLD

    Peets coffee has been sold and is "going private" after the company was purchased by a German investor (deal to close around October). While I'm saddened to see them sold for an apparent profit (would have been nice if they bellied up due to the OC movement basically boycotting them) perhaps...
