tiny gun free zone downtown...

[Mark W.]

Looks like someone got nabbed a block away from the GFZ
•Derek Wayne Christensen, 45, was arrested at Southwest 2nd Avenue and Jefferson Street on a charge of carrying a concealed weapon.
Police: 14 arrested during rally, counter-protests in downtown Portland

Says nothing about it being a firearm. You shove a big screwdriver in an inside pocket on your jeans jacket and you can be charged with carrying a concealed weapon.

Oh well. But, the police is always there to respond. Only, like everywhere.......it might take awhile.

18 U.S. Code § 930 - Possession of firearms and dangerous weapons in Federal facilities

(a)Except as provided in subsection (d), whoever knowingly possesses or causes to be present a firearm or other dangerous weapon in a Federal facility (other than a Federal court facility), or attempts to do so, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 1 year, or both.

(d) Subsection (a) shall not apply to—
(3) the lawful carrying of firearms or other dangerous weapons in a Federal facility incident to hunting or other lawful purposes.

(g) As used in this section:
(1) The term "Federal facility" means a building or part thereof owned or leased by the Federal Government, where Federal employees are regularly present for the purpose of performing their official duties.

Um, no I don't think that a one square block urban park is a "Federal facility" and apparently if you can get the proper hunting tags you are all set
