Your tireless efforts have paid off one more time. The Administrative Services of the Corvallis City Council have decided not to proceed with a senseless and counterproductive ban on loaded carry of firearms.
Make no mistake, it was your efforts that turned the tide, but while the City Council of Corvallis recognized the meaninglessness of the propose ordinance, there are plenty of other fronts where the nanny state busybodies are hard at work.
Their latest target locally is Fred Meyer stores. As in Corvallis, there is no actual issue. Fred Meyer is hardly a hotbed of open carry activity, this is simply one more way to attempt to stigmatize gun owners. The goal is not to stop something that isn’t even happening, it’s to reinforce the idea that simple ownership of firearms is evil.
Ironically of course, many Fred Meyer stores now actually sell guns, and Fred Meyer contributes to our Foundation.
While this is an important victory, it’s just a down payment on the battles we will face state wide in February. Thanks for all your hard work and get ready to fight and win the next one.
