CITY COUNCILOR UNDER FIRE FOR LAWFUL FIREARM
A
Fairview City Councilor and OFF supporter is under attack
for, of all things, exercising
his rights.
Ken Quinby , a long time supporter of the Oregon Firearms Federation,
has a concealed handgun license. That makes some of his fellow
councilors "nervous."
Barbara
Jones, another council member said "I understand
the Second Amendment allows you to bear arms; however my 'pursuit
of happiness' and ability to live my life safely seems to be
taking a back seat to those who run around with concealed weapons,"
" Run around with concealed weapons?" What planet
is she living on? Apparently the same one Council member
Larry Cooper is. "I agree and have felt that way
for a long time," he said in an e-mail. Now
some council members want to do yet another end run around Oregon
law and try to ban lawful carry in the City Hall for council
members!
If they are successful, this will be one more nail in the
coffin of our disintegrating "preemption law."
Please contact the City Council and remind them that any effort
to further erode the Second Amendment in Fairview will NOT be
accepted.The email contact for Fairview City Council is council@ci.fairview.or.us
