Concealed Weapon?

Steve Richards · 02-23-2006, 10:10 PM

Here in Oregon they passed a "must issue" version of a concealed carry law. If an applicant does not fall into a prohibited from owning group and takes a class, the state must issue a concealed carry permit.

So far, in about 10 or so years, only two people have been shot by people with a permit and both were ruled justified by a grand jury. A few people have had their permits revoked for non-firearm offences and I don't think anyone has illegally used a gun that they were legally carriying concealed. I have not read if there has been any overall effect on crime.
