Well I live in Newberg and my daughter goes to one of the elementary schools. I carry occasionally when I drop her off or pick her up and at most sporting events that I attend. Although I do not carry when I am volunteering at the school for special events or if I am inside the building for longer periods of time.
I wrote an e-mail to the superintendant and cc'd the school board members as well and the response I received was less than acceptable in my mind;
"Thank you for writing me of your concern."
Really? That is all you have to say on the topic? Very weak...
I encourage anyone to write in and give your opinion, especially anyone that lives within the school district boundaries. If we all stay quite nothing will happen and those with less common sense will prevail!
I too carry at my daughter's school all the time, but if I volunteered, I probably would not.
What I find sad is the system is set up in such a way that they can be in the wrong, but drain the financial life out of you while proving you were right in the first place. I have been listening to the ProArms Podcast about the Gun Rights Policy Conference held in Chicago this year.
They noted a law they helped get passed that had financial ramifications of trying to usurp law......here's the gist.....
1. $50-100k fine and being liable by losing your job and possibly personally so.
2. Not being able to use public funds to persue unlawful litigation.
3. Being liable for the legal fees of those who've had to defend themselves from said illegal acts.
I may be off on a few of the particulars, but you get the point, there's teeth in this law that actually bite back if they're persuing illegal acts.
