OFF ALERT 11.09.07 Court Finds Against Self Defense For Government
Workers. |
In a long awaited decision, Jackson County Circuit Court Judge
Philip Arnold, decided
that teachers and other employees of the state have no right
to protect themselves and others.
In his decision, Judge Arnold stated that school districts may
make rules prohibiting teachers from having firearms on school
property.
While we believe that this decision sends a clear message that
our schools are a target rich environment, at a time when we
can least
afford it, we are not particularly surprised by the judge's
opinion.
We are still evaluating the Judge's ruling, but Oregon Firearms
Educational Foundation is committed to continuing this battle
as long as our resources permit.
The teacher,Shirley Katz, and OFEF,
are very grateful for the amazing outpouring of support we have
received, not only from our members, but from others from coast
to coast who recognize the importance of this case. We need
your help now more than ever. This fight is not over, but the
battle for the fundamental right of all people to stay safe
will be long and expensive.
Your tax deductible contribution to OFEF
will help ensure that we have the means to take this fight
to the next level.
Recently,Oregon's most militant gun hater, Senator Ginny Burdick,
announced her intentions to introduce new restrictions on gun
owners, as she has year after year. The battle lines are clearly
drawn. Your support for our legal efforts can make all the difference
in the future for gun rights.
We thank you for all you have done, assure you that we will
continue to fight for your freedoms, and ask that you do whatever
you can to assist us in this battle for liberty.
