Your activism and hard work have paid off, at least for now.
House Bill 2852, the bill expanding the Port of Portland’s police powers, has been pulled off the schedule for April 2nd.
The Chairman of the committee, Greg MacPherson, has been telling gun owners, “In any event, it appears that HB 2852 will not be moving forward. ”
Until the session is over, nothing is totally dead, but you’ve clearly gotten their attention.
The Port Police lobbied hard for this bill, just as they did last session. You can bet they won’t give up. But for now, a clear message has been sent to the Port Police and the legislature, that gun owners will not tolerate having their rights violated.
You’ve done a great job, but we need to remain vigilant until this session is over, and of course, we’ll need to start again in February when the “special session” begins.
As always, we will keep you informed so you can continue to do what you do best.
