And what time did it start?
I drop my kid off every Saturday close to the Coliseum so I swung by the Sam Adams gun buy back..
Conclusion at 10:45am:
Not one person was there other than the police and the Ceasefire people.
Zero, Nada, none!
the 'sam adams' isn't referring to the beer, it refers to sam adams, portland mayor...you know, the guy who was having sex with an underage male then lied about publicly, then managed to get away with it scot free...it actually seemed to enhance his popularity among the local leftist population...
So would it be legal to sit down at one of these things all day with some cash and buy everything you could? If they're only offering $50 and you give them more what would the legal issues be?
I showed up at 10:15. Saw a guy turn in a stainless 10/22. A woman gave up some german made .38. While I was looking at the .38, a guy turned in a Browning Hi-Power, which I didn't know about until one of the cops told me.
I saved a Colt 1917 .45 US Army revolver. I walked away very very happy. My wife, not as happy about the purchase as I am.
Do'h....I'd like one of those, and some dolt turns one in for nothing...
I drove by around 2:00....ghost town.
I only dealt with one jerk cop, the rest were pretty cool about it, other than thinking that I would only find junk. When I was about to head to the bank to get cash for the Colt, I was approached by an officer. He told me that Oregon Ceasefire would like me to leave the lot since they have the permit to use it. They said it was "for liability". The officer told me I could stand on the sidewalk. I thanked him and took off, since the Colt was going to cost my max.
The main thing is getting people to actually go for it instead of just getting in line. I didn't bother the people that were already in line as I didn't want to cause too much trouble.
I talked to Sam (Mayor Adams told me to call him that, maybe he thought I was cute, but I think I may be too old for him). I was talking to the woman with the .38 when he approached us. I explained what I was doing and I had been telling the woman that I had a CHL and I'm state certified to work armed security. He asked to see the licenses and I showed him. The woman asked if it was okay and Sam said he didn't see a problem with it.
I was impressed with how Sammy handled it.
Maybe he was hoping you'd drop some change.........
