A gun without bullets is just a stick ... or a rock.

And the freedom of speech is guaranteed so long as you can’t actually say anything.

Is an Oregon State Forest a “Public Place?”
Inquisitive minds of hunters want to know.

Clip in my left hand gun in my right. BS law but it won’t stop real men or women from carrying.

I think the decision is clearly unconstitutional. One of the purposes of the right to bear arms is the right to self-defense, and a gun is pretty much worthless for self-defense until it is loaded. This ruling is equivalent to saying that the 1st Amendment protects all speech except speech critical of the government.
To: shibumi
if the Arms aren't ARMED...and they arent if they arent loaded ...do they still qualify as ARMS??
Id say that logic will play no role in the FINAL DECISION on this matter due to the hysteria that's been overwhelmingly FAR MORE POPULAR than OLD SCHOOL sequential western logic

Unlike rodeo clowns, “judge” clowns don’t wear Obama masks when they’re goofing off and pulling their antics.

In related news, Portland City council has also banned "exessively sharp" knives... except those used in religious rituals... you know, like female genital mutilation, and beheadings.

Years ago, CA decided that you could Open Carry only if the Gun was unloaded.
Last year, CA decided that Open Carry is Illegal.
Now, CA is passing Laws banning Rifles with “removable” Magazines and is “registering” people who buy Ammo.
Drip, drip, drip. Too bad about Oregon.

when a missle is ARMED...it is a weapon...when it AINT...its simply an expensive piece of hardware.
Logically the same would hold true for a firearm
it isnt a firearm if it cant be FIRED and it cant be fired unless its loaded.
Our FREEDOM to bear arms doesnt state anything about an UNLOADED WEAPONS.

Good point. Also, the 2nd Amendment guarantees the right to "keep and BEAR arms." "Bear" means to carry on one's person.

Guess we won’t go up to Portland any more.
I assume it’ll be kicked up to the next court instantly.

Id say the judge who be overturned.....its DECISIONS at any rate
turning it over the KNEE and JUDICIOUSLY applying a series of whacks would I guess be asking too much.

Well, at least the citizens of Portland can now feel secure that their gang bangers won’t have any ammo in their guns. (s)

I believe Balmy (not the weather kind) Portland is the city wherein, not long ago, an armed man duly permitted to carry concealed put a stop to a shooting rampage in a shopping mall by putting the mad shooter down.
Apparently the Ruling Blind Mice didn’t appreciate that outcome.
