PORTLAND, Ore. – Yes, you have the right to bear arms to defend yourself.



But how about carrying loaded guns?



The Oregon Supreme Court has weighed in that Portland’s ban on packing loaded firearms is constitutional.



It’s the first time the higher court has considered a city ordinance. The ruling applies to all cities in Oregon.

The panel of justices decided the ordinance was not too far-reaching
and broad, according to their written opinion issued Thursday. The
justices pointed out that the ordinance doesn't restrict the right of
people to have loaded guns at home, just in public places.

The justices also said there have been exceptions nationwide to the
right to carry firearms: when there's a concern for public safety.

"In the United States, generally it has been recognized that the
right to bear arms is not absolute and that the exercise of legislative
authority reasonably restricting the right to bear arms to promote
public safety is constitutionally permissible," the Supreme Court
opinion said.

How come they don't have to cite SOME sort of evidence that supports the idea the restricting loaded firearms in public PROMOTES public safety? Is it some sort of given? Supported by FBI statistics? In the bible? Something I never heard of? I sure don't feel safer running around unarmed. I USED to be armed off duty years ago but now I can't because of California law. Believe me, I felt safer before, having been on both sides of the issue. I guess what they are saying is, if you want to be safe, STAY HOME!

Yeah, the logic that you only get attacked in your own home escapes me.

Well... statistics have proven that 100% of home invasions take place in the home.
