According to Gresham police, William Coleman III was talking to his cousin near 172nd and Glisan at about 2:10 a.m. on Saturday while openly carrying the gun he had purchased on Friday.

I think I see the problem here.

The Black Panthers showed up at the state capitol, armed with loaded weapons in their hands on the day of the vote.

In 1967!!! Today, we write, call, fax and email our elected officials, when THIS is what we should be doing. And I don't give a damn what the laws for open carry are. If gun owners are not willing to sacrifice for the 2nd Amendment, they don't deserve it.

Carrying open or concealed doesn’t make anyone immune to robbery but it sure lessens the chances.

You never make laws based upon exceptions. Exceptions are what the courts and juries are supposed to make.
