Maybe I've been drinking at work or something, but those all sound reasonable if not good?!

As for HB 2418 and HB 3001, what's the difference in the two, and I thought OSP was already required to destroy the records. Isn't making it more illegal, or illegal again, kind of silly?

Not all OFF alerts are negative. Negative bills need opposition, good ones need support. HB 2418 & HB 3001 are probably drafted by different people.

I wasn't actually in shock that the alert wasn't negative, rather that there's a voluminous pile of legislation that directly benefits our cause, cleans up the rough edges of Oregon firearm laws, and is generally something to be excited about!

My personal expectations are that little of it will pass, but one can always hope, and besides if any of it passes that would be fantastic. I think I'll be getting in touch with my state congress men and women shortly!

okay, i just read hb2790. i'm not a dumbass, but dry legalese is a bit out of my comprehension range. does it really institute permitless carry in oregon?

I like the bills too, of course I haven't read them, but the short descriptions seem like good ideas... and living in Central Oregon I know my reps will support most all of them.
But
Kitzhaber is going to get arthritis by vetoing them all except for HB2790 - if he follows his support for CCarry.

So now what can we do to help make sure these bills get assigned to committees? And then that the committees give these bills the thumbs up?

There are duplicates (bills that have different sponsors but accomplish roughly the same thing).

There are some that are VERY important and overshadow others. For example, if HB2790 is passed, then there is no need for concealed carry licenses for people in Oregon. But still there might be a desire for a Concealed Carry license in order to get reciprocity with other states and/or to enable firearm purchases without a STATE background check.
