I think that this is our saving grace in Washington. The cities can't, they have tried though.

Leaves me speechless - displeased - but not surprised at the creative and collective stupidity of large liberal based populations.
Perhaps they should install 'gun free zone' signs at each street corner to prevent criminals from carrying guns also.

Is there any recourse for the citizens of Portland to get this obviously poor ruling overturned? I imagine not. It's worse than NY City's law restricting firearms to be loaded with no more than 7 bullets. It is simply unbelievable......... :o
I guess I should have read the article before I posted.

The lawyer who wanted Portland’s restrictions overturned said Friday he might appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Hopefully it is appealed to the US Supreme Court.

well that is a solution, but unfortunate if we surrender that right to carry the y will only move to take more away from citizens. I think it is wise to wear a seat belt and a helmet when riding a motorcycle, but think it is wrong to make some one do it.
I wouldn't call it a "solution," but rather a work-around.
