Session Starts and Rally Reminder
Happy Superbowl Sunday. May your favorite team win.
We have a number of things to share with you today.
First, the 2013 Oregon Legislative Session begins actual operations tomorrow. We expect to see a fairly large number of gun bills introduced in the coming days. As you may know, there is a link on our home page that will take you to a list of any bills affecting gun owners.
If you think there is an important bill that is not posted, PLEASE let us know ASAP.
We will let you know when hearings are scheduled. Showing up for these hearings is important.
Second, the pro gun rally on January 19 was a tremendous success and we want to thank the folks who put it together and everyone who showed up in defense of liberty. It was an amazing thing to see. We were overwhelmed by the support we received at that event and the many new members we signed up.
Because of that event, and other efforts by our friends across the state, OFF has grown dramatically. We have added staff to keep up, and if you are a recent joiner, we want to thank you for your dedication and support. We are a bit behind processing all the new members, so if you have not heard back from us or are awaiting a package with a book or hat or patch, rest assured we are working 7 days a week to get our thank you’s out to you. Don’t hesitate to drop us a line if you think you have been missed. We will get someone right on it.
Finally and most important, a follow up rally will be held at the Capitol on Friday Feb. 8th from 10am to 2 pm. Let’s make it even bigger and better than the last one.
All eyes are on New York where their legislature violated all their own rules to ram through a massive and unconstitutional gun ban in the middle of the night. It’s clear that New Yorkers are not taking this lying down. A big turn out on Friday will let our legislators know that Oregon will not stand for those kinds of games.
Reminder, “OPEN carry” is legal in Salem, however, if you do not have a concealed handgun license, LOADED carry is NOT legal. If you have any questions email us .
See you there.
