Fuck yeah Oregon. These are good laws. I hope a lot more states follow.

There’s lot of good here, but this law has a major flaw, which is the permitting system is under sheriff’s jurisdiction. I’m not the biggest fan of putting the permit process under the control of police, as they get a lot of control over who can get one.

I am still glad to see it passed, and I’m surprised it survived the constitutional challenge, but I hope they keep improving the laws and don’t leave them this way

It’s not done yet. The ammophiles will certainly appeal it to the SCOTUS, which isn’t exactly rational lately. I’m sure Justice Alito will find a relevant quote from a 12th century blacksmith saying that the Duke cannot legally prevent him from forging horse shoes, and because horses are instrumental to war, are considered “weapons” and thus, the government can’t place any sort of restriction on guns because horses are people too, he’ll say, citing Tina Belcher.

This law is absolutely terrible because it's the police who get to decide whether or not you deserve a permit. Do you really trust the police to make that decision? Especially in rural Oregon, it's going to be used to deny permits to out-groups like non-white people and non-heteronormative people.
