Well that would also put a stop to neighbors who decide to pull security when fires are coming thru and areas are evacuated. Recall the Mult Co. commissioners throwing a fit as some residents did that a few years ago. (How dare the locals stop roaming criminals or arsonists from going and burglarizing or burning down their homes!)
Also- DA Mike Schmidt is in favor of it. That says plenty. He spends more time working to help his antifa friends and trying to hinder law enforcement than you can imagine...
Another interesting thing is that OR historically had some kind of actual organized militia that was connected somehow to the state military. I know because at some point they traded in a bunch of AK and FAL rifles...and I ended up buying some of them! Don’t know much more about the group than that. They could have been upgrading weaponry, or maybe they were disbanded. It was about 15 years ago or so...
