Hmm, if there's time I'd like to. Between work, the business, and a 2 year old, my time is pretty limited. And, I get kinda twitchy when I go to Portland. Too much city. Clean, though. I'll have to see if I can make it.

Add another person.
I work in Portland, Or live in the Oregon city/Beavercreek area. I usually fire at the Johnson Creek Gun Club. I've been a member for about two years now.

I am in the south metro area.
Used to shoot at the Dump and at The Place to Shoot, but now have a membership over at Tri County.
It would be fun to get together with some THR members sometime.

Sounds like fun, cleaning up any sites that are used is always a good idea. I am a member of Johnson Creek Gun Club it's about 109.00 a year, card lock to enter, open everyday 8 am to 8 pm, 8 75 foot lanes, no range master self policing, near 82nd and Johnson ck. blvd. I was up near Trillun lake at muddy creek quarry to play last week, will be up again this saturday to test the spadegrips on a 1919a4, kind of a long drive to shoot but I am meeting some folks. It would great to get together with other members to shoot and clean up as long as there is enough notification for dates and times. If a list gets made put me on it.
Thanks Ron

I'd make an effort to come out. I found a spot east of Sandy up on Wildcat Mtn. Not much for measured range, but it usually is unoccupied. (usual primitive clearcut type place). Lets try to do this a little earlier in the year, eh?
edit/Oh, that twitchy feeling in the Portland area is all the liberals you're allergic to.

Is someone going to set dates?

Dates
I will put together a list and PM everyone, eventually, to get e-mails and generate a distribution list. If we can do that strictly through THR to maintain more privacy, that works too.
I will have to default til after I get off my nightshift stint however. I've been on dayshift for 11 years and now am working nights until we get some new prototype products through the factory. I'd like to put something together sooner, but I'm pretty flaky right now on commitments because I can never know when I'm going to feel good or feel like a zombie.
I'm supposed to be getting a 270 for the wife soon (awaiting arrival to ffl contact) and will head out to site it in. When it arrives, I'll try to remember to post here the night before and let everyone know what's up.
Sorry can't be more firm than that right now, but nightshift is pretty tough on me.

Beaverton here!
In portland for the last 9 years and Coos Bay before that and Southern Oregon before that. I'm into fishing, boating, hunting and shooting. Trying to set myself up with a kind landowner or two so I can safely teach my youngin's the sport of shooting and hunting small game and pests. I'm into meeting others with similar interests here in Oregon too. Count me in!

Put me on the contact list and I'll try to make some. I usually do my shooting at Douglas Ridge but I'm also 10-15 mins from PSTC.

One more from Ore-gun's third largest city.
Been following this thread for weeks {subscribed},
but - as I drive a diesel, and diesel is now the highest price fuel
(was lowest when I bought the truck ... what kind of madness is this?!)
I don't get to PDX much.
Still, I have friends there,
so might get up your way with rifles, shotgun & handgun
and could join you for a few rounds if the timing is right... .. .
~N
{PS: almost moved to PDX a year ago,
but after looking for a business space there for 3 months,
finding real estate to be 2X what it is elsewhere,
and getting caught up in a Friday afternoon traffic jammed exodus from the city,
(10 miles in an hour on a vehicle saturated I-5)
I thought, "What if I was living here when the SHTF
(earthquake, petrocollapse, climate change; general social collapse, criminal anarchy, etc),
and I'm trying to get out?", I decided not to move there and stayed put south of there.}

Look at it this way...by the time most of these leftards admit the government is no longer going to rescue them, I along with other right-minded people will be out yonder, with the roads to our safe havens closed for the duration.

You mean FEMA may not be "in control"?
That's an interesting hypothesis.
Even so, in a meltdown event
,I'd still want to be out 3 hours ahead of time
. Gridlock sucks, w/ or w/o FEMA.

I figure I'll have all the last minute supplies laid in, fueled up, and gone, 3 days before the rush starts. The long term items are already in place 2 tanks of fuel from town.

* west to the edge of the Pacific ocean (up against the edge of land ...)
* east to eastern OR/WA (big, open country with limited agriculture & meat)
* south (against the flow {refer to "climate change"})
* north (reasonable if things do heat up)

Nemo,
You have got to remember that two tanks of fuel does not get you far in an armored personnel carrier.
Hey Mark, if you can predict the meltdown three days ahead how about helping me with my stock choices?

One would need a convoy with a tanker truck, kinda like Madd Max...

I figure it will be time to leave when our normally asleep-at-the-switch city guvmint says there is no reason to panic, then places restrictions on movement and what days you can buy fuel. That isn't the signal something is wrong, that's the green light to ****.

Your right about Multnomah County and the state legislature. If we wait for them for action it would be the next election before they do anything.
Hopefully see you at the meet.

Hi all.
Count me in too. Hopefully I will be able to make it. I am 55 years old, lived in Portland all my life and used to shoot all the time when I was a teenager and into my 20's. Then marriage and raising kids got me away from it. Still married but the kids are grown. Always kept my interest in guns and when the doctor told me to quit smoking I did some research on quitting smoking and one of the methods was to reward myself for quitting. I had tried various times over the years to quit by with no luck, but had done so without rewarding myself. So this time I sat down and figured out what I really wanted and figured it was a few guns that I have always wanted. The list was an 1858 Remington, a SAA, a 22 SSA, a Winchester 92 rifle and a double barrel or pump shotgun with exposed hammers. I now own a Pietta .44 cal 1858 Remington revolver and a Taurus Gaucho .357\38spc SAA revolver. I am itching to shoot them. Next on the purchase line is a new Heritage Arms Rough Rider .22\.22 mag SAA revolver unless I can find a killer deal on a Ruger 22. The $150.00 a month that I am saving by not smoking is funding the gun purchases. Not really saving any money yet but at least it is being spent on items of value rather than literally going up in smoke. I hope I have not bored you and please let me know when you are going shooting and I will try and make it.
