Evenrude!
I spent 12 years on the 7th floor of WTC1. Many's the time I went home early to avoid planned protests. I was never so glad as the day I retired and no longer had to step over the derelicts to get to work in the morning.It is hard to walk thru NE and NW Portland without encountering a Portland park in your way. Some are small and inconspicuous and others are large and include the sidewalk. You would almost have to plan your route through there to get to a destination. It also makes it almost impossible to get to some merchants without passing through a park. Portland's rules make it an unfriendly place to carry a defensive weapon, and as pointed out earlier, the homeless are generally armed and ignored by the PPD.
My wife and I spent many years working at the World Trade Center - the magnet for Antifa, and other protesters as well as their share of homeless.. She is retiring September 4th.
Just don't go.
Last time I was there, I had two of eachi dont give a flying rats sphincter what portland says. when i reluctantly have to go there, you can damnwell bet i got atleast 1 9mm and a knife on me.
These degenerates are high and have weapons. I have a CHL and I carry the highest level of personal insurance (USCCA member). I will not confirm or deny if I have defense weapons available to me while on the job but when I am off "duty" I carry a firearm, knife, flashlight etc.... my EDC.
I hope I never have to use any force on another human or animal, but if it happens, I am insured and I have money to fight the BS liberal, and corrupted system. I have personally had the pleasure of dealing with the DA and what a joke they were.
Even if you are in the right and innocent, they will still F with you, but if you have backup (personal defense insurance), that intimidates them and they will probably want to find someone who isn't well protected.
Oh I forgot, sometimes I carry my Benchmade Infidel or Microtech ultratech .... of course I don't conceal when I carry those knives. And yes the Infidel is double sided and both knives are automatic. I do it because it pisses off the protectionists.... you know, the libtards
I'm not an a-hole and I mind my own business.

That's Oregon law, not just Portland. "Gravity" knives have always been prohibited, along with "dirks, daggers, and icepicks".
ORS 166.240
(1)Except as provided in subsection (2) of this section, any person who carries concealed upon the person any knife having a blade that projects or swings into position by force of a spring or by centrifugal force, any dirk, dagger, ice pick, slungshot, metal knuckles, or any similar instrument by the use of which injury could be inflicted upon the person or property of any other person, commits a Class B misdemeanor.
In general, many folks seem to be outraged when laws like this happens in the USA, but make sneery comments about 'wimps and sheeple' when similar law is enacted here in UK. Mind you, I can state categorically that we don't have any 'slungshots' over here.

Went to the landscaping renovation show at the memorial coliseum this weekend with the wife. Paid $10 for parking, walked down the street, went inside with a group of people and heard a security guard tell us all "no pocket knives allowed, leave them in your car." So naturally, I discreetly unclipped my Kershaw and slid it into my pocket. Then, I look farther down the way and see security herding folks through metal detectors and wanding others. Naturally, I was carrying (it's Portland, people) so I noped the F outta there fast. Couldn't get a parking rebate, but boy did I feel safer!
With all due respect, if you don't remove this post you're an idiot.
Stuff on the innanet never goes away. God forbid you get into a violent situation and need to use whatever means necessary to protect yourself. Some a-hole is going to comb over everything you've ever done and said, including the quoted post. Then he's gonna put your words in front of a jury of your "peers" (but only if you're a bleeding heart liberal) to show that you actually looked forward to popping a cap in someone's a$$.
Then your insurer is gonna run for cover and you're screwed.
Don't ask don't tell. Just my opinion.

Clipped on a pocket giving visual witness to its presents is a carry game changer.
