Oregon Supreme Court finds Portland law prohibiting loaded

#1

.... guns in public places constitutional.

When I read the title of the article, I said, "We'll, here we go again". However, the ordinance is consistent with most carry laws, including those here in TX. You can carry if you have a license. I know, I know, you should not need a license at all, but it is what it is.
But Justice Baldwin wrote that the ordinance is not a total ban on carrying loaded firearms. Rather, it regulates "the manner of possession and use of firearms in public places." In addition, there are 14 exceptions to the law, which allow those with concealed weapons permits, police officers and several other groups of people to carry a loaded firearm in public places.
