I was checking for an argument in favor of gun ownership to convince an anti-gun aquaintance, and to use in future arguments.
Oregon is a Concealed Carry "Shall Issue" state. So, I was checking crime rate comparisons with other states that do not allow CCLs. I came across a story about a home invasion in the northern part of the state. The farther north you go (Multnomah County), the more anti-gun it gets. The Portland Port Authority Police (Multnomah County) have, in the past, arrested people who were carrying and have valid CCLs, which is in violation of state law. They refuse to recognize State Issued CCLs. A segment of the story: "Anthony Patrick Cooper, 25, is a corrections client and has prior arrests for delivery of a controlled substance; delivery and possession of a controlled substance; robbery; burglary; menacing and dangerous weapons in Multnomah County. Cooper is identified as the roommate who was being assaulted violently by the intruding suspects and was shot by his roommate (Harris) during the altercation." A "Corrections Client"??? I guess it would assault his sensibilities to call him the criminal, dirt bag, scum ball that he is. In my part of the state he would be called something entirely different. If it wasn't so sad, it would be comical...
