Oregon is already shall issue.
Actually, New Jersey is a “May Issue” state. Big difference.
If you are going to excerpt, why not include what Gura said, stead of forcing the readers here to “click through”.
Agreement with Ammoland.
I would love to post the whole article, but not at the cost of losing Ammoland.
