    Open Carry, not just a right but a responsibility

    I live in a small town in the Columbia River Gorge. I do not ever leave my house with out my .45 in an open carry condition. I go to the big cities (both Vancouver and Portland areas) once or perhaps twice a week. I ride my motorcycle sixteen thousand miles a year. Mostly in Oregon and...

    Regal Theaters new policy

    My one and I tried to go to a Regal Theater last Saturday. We were informed they have a new no gun policy, just like the one in Colorado. I never ever leave my house with out my side arm strapped to my hip. We have gone to Regal many times, but never more.

    Where I stand

    I have been a member of Open Carry .org for just a short time and for the greater part enjoy and glean a great deal of good information. Here most if not all share my Constitutional philosophies. Not just our Second Amendment rights, but also all the Amendments that give us our freedoms. I...

    Another Chase Bank story

    I posted some time back my encounter at the Chase Bank in Vancouver 16600 Southeast McGillivray Boulevard. There the branch manager told me it was illegal to carry because their bank was a federal building. Of course this is absurd. Now a month or so later I go to the Chase Bank at 3205 NE 52nd...

    The Dalles

    I live in The Dalles. The reason for my post is this: This town is a 12,000 plus population. It would appear I am the only one here that open carries. I just don't get it. I have never once been hassled (which is very nice) and I don't leave the house without my .45 on my hip. I carry for...
