Hey folks. I am a lifelong Oregon resident and a gun owner for many years. I have unfortunately spent a majority of my adult life enjoying the freedom the 2nd Amendment has guaranteed me without doing much to ensure that Amendment's protection. Over the last year, I have taken a more active role doing what I can to protect that right for myself and others. Being in the greater Portland area I do get quite a bit of flack every time the subject of firearms is brought up in public. As such, I need to occasionally draw strength from likeminded individuals. I look forward to being a part of this community.
