When I first moved to Oregon I didn't realize how different the laws here are from California. I think I posted that the EBRs lining the walls of the local gun shop would make Pelossi and Co. dirty their pants. Then there are the full auto firearms on sale at the Albany gun show.
Somehow that all got pushed to the back of my mind as I went through the mundane daily tasks of transitioning, looking for a job an all, though I've kept an eye on some of the idiocy going on down south of the Oregon border.
Today I just happened to be in front of a local pawn shop/gun shop I hadn't seen and decided to drop in. Dejaveau all over again. The back wall is the first thing you see as you enter and look past the pawn goods and is a fine display of several AK and AR variants with full size magazines. I could feel the shock our California friends would experience coming upon that sight.
Celebrating my escape all over again.
It is just mind boggling that the politicos in California can't see Oregon as an example that people can get along just fine without the ton of restrictions on types of firearms, concealed carry and all.
I think I also bad mouthed the cost of membership in Oregon gun clubs. Turns out it's just a different way of paying for range time. Here you pay an annual fee and no daily charges. In California you pay a membership fee and then a daily use fee. Amounts to paying up front or as you go. Encourages more range time which is fine with me.
