Well,
I live in Portland. Seems pretty "gun" friendly to me. But then again, I moved here 8 years ago from San Jose.. Of course it's obvious, but I have to say; "it's GREAT to be here".
Having said that, Portland allows for "shall issue" CCW, I have mine and carry 90% of the time. There are a number of fabulous ranges around, Tri-County in Sherwood must be seen to be believed...
Yes, there are some liberal types in the city, but it doesn't get out of hand. If they know how many CCW's have been issued to their neighbors, they would shit.. ;-)
having said that, the party line is "ugh, Oregon, it's really rainy up here, you don't want to move up here..." ;-)
Regards,
Francis
