    Any other liberals?

    Yes, I did. I was once a hard core Liberal, on many issues. I didn't even think police should be allowed to carry guns. Ultimately, firearms led to my political transformation, as a result of CAs restrictive laws. Now I'm, as another poster said, a Jeffersonian Constitutionalist. Welcome, and...

    Free Close Quarter Combat/Self-Defense Training-Portland OR

    I wish you were just a bit closer. I am way down in Sweet home, though. No way could I make the drive on a weeknight. Heck, with the irons I have in the fire, even a weekend would be pushing it.

    Closer to moving from CA to Portland area

    Yes, OR allows full auto. Coming from the S.F. area almost four years ago, OR seemed very sane, too good to be true, really. I don't mind Portland, as big cities go, it isn't bad. Of course, I was born and raised in Ca, so that could be why OR seems like utopia.

    Think about this? (What Places are Inappropriate for Concealed Carry?)

    If I have on clothes, I am carrying a gun. Having lived somewhere for so long where my only legal self defense option was the modern equivalent of a sharp stick, I am loathe to relinquish my firearm unless forced to. I don't fly, I don't go to the courthouse unless I have to, and I don't visit...

    Test of my mental state: daughter attacked

    Just because a person is unarmed, it does not mean they aren't a threat. Is an unarmed UFC fighter dangerous? An unarmed Navy Seal? On to the next bit. Just because someone is a woman, that doesn't make them less dangerous than a man. Two of the most dangerous people I ever knew were women...

    What Made You Decide To Carry?

    Sheriff Warren Rupf, of Contra Costa County, CA. He only issues CCW to his buddies and contributors. As soon as I left that state, I decided I would carry every day, just because I could.

    Linn County, Oregon?

    I'd love to, but I simply wouldn't make it out there often enough to justify the expense. My schedule is jam packed. That's why i liked shooting on Mark's Ridge. I could drive out on my lunch break and do a hundred rounds or so, then head back to work. It'a an hour or so just getting to the...

    How much training have you had?

    I looooove shooting. I don't do it nearly as often as I would like, though.

    How much training have you had?

    No "requirement". But yes, responsible ownership does involve training. Irresponsible gun ownership can not be eliminated, save by a total ban, if then. What we can do is mitigate it, by educating the young, as well as the public at large about gun safety and responsible use.

    Heller didn't win his case.

    This is the important bit. It would be wise for us to pay attention here. Giga isn't an attorney (at least I've never heard him mention it. If I recall correctly, he works in computers), but he does have a knack, in my experience, for seeing and predicting results rather correctly, as well as...

    Gun Carry and Messy Jobs?

    Smartcarry could be an option. One of those fancy concealment shirts with the built in holster might be good. Maybe a bellyband?

    How much training have you had?

    In the use of firearms? Somebody brought this question up on another board, and I thought it would be a good fit here. I'm going from memory here, so my numbers might be off a bit, but it's pretty close. CA POST level three reserve officer training-64 hours CA POST level two reserve...
