Are they up and running full steam again? I sure hope so. The wife took their 8 hour class. It did her a world of good. Four hours of class room W/blue guns, and 4 hours on the range. It didn't really cost a whole lot, even for back them. Clackamas County Sherriff's Office really have it gonging on, for the people/tax payers. MultCo got nothing on them.It's not a gun shop, but the Clackamas County Public Safety Training Center does rentals.
Public Safety Training Center | Clackamas County
The Public Safety Training Center is a great indoor shooting range in Clackamas Oregon. In addition to the handgun and rifle shooting range, you can take tactical shooting classes, gun safety courses, defensive shooting classes and survival workshops. We also offer fingerprinting, passport...www.clackamas.us
Or, wanted to commit suicide. I would think it's still a thing for them.Used to be at he Public Safety Training Center you had to already have a gun to rent one, may have changed. I believe it was to partially screen out the people who shouldn't be touching one anyway (felons, etc.)
I think its to prevent someone renting a gun and using it to commit suicide on the spot. If you already have your own gun, if you want to commit suicide you would presumably do it by yourself somewhere else, and not involve some innocent gun store or range.Used to be at the Public Safety Training Center you had to already have a gun to rent one, may have changed.

They used to have a video folks were required to watch. Perhaps nowadays they also do an annual criminal background check (or something)?Tritac doesn't appear to require you to bring your own gun but you do have to be legally okay to own one. Don't know how they check that.

SafeFire in Camas has over 100 rental guns. They enforce a "have your own gun with you" policy like most ranges. That or come with a friend.
It can be any gun, I saw an old lady bring in her husband's double barreled trap gun so she could try out a S&W EZ .380. The shotgun was about as long as she was tall.
It's primarily an anti-suicide step as well as said earlier to help keep non-eligible types like felons away.
I'd forgotten all about this...Somebody actually did off themselves at safe fire not too long ago, the one and only time i went they had suicide awareness posters and help pamphlets all over the place. Thought it was odd until my friend that brought me told me about the incident
