While it wasn't a horrible hatchet job it certainly skimmed over the part about RIGHT TO CARRY AND TOTALLY LEGAL while giving all manner of "time" (i.e. print space) to the prosthletizing of Lt Hansen of MPD with opinions, fiction, and fantasy.
"It's not the normal thing we want to see in our citizens," Hansen said. "It is legal, but it is not a good thing to do".Um, excuse me Lt Hansen, YOUR JOB is not to determine whether legal activities are "a good thing to do". Your job is to find illegal activities and stop them, not offer your opinions, person or departmental, on the lawful activities of Oregonians.
Hansen said carrying weapons in public would become a problem if the activity caused public alarm, or weapons were being pointed at someone.
Wonder where he pulled that line from? The brady bunch? A review of YouTube videos in which officers try to apply "disorderly" charges to law abiding citizens? Sounds to me like he (more likely the department) is trying to lay some ground work to support future civil rights violations.
TIME FOR A MEDFORD OC MEET UP FOLKS.
