This afternoon I stoppedby Joes on99w in Sherwood to securesome gear for a sea run cutthroatfishing extravaganza on a coast range river this weekend.
As usual I had my.45 secured to my hip as I exited my truck. I had gotten a few paces from the parking stall when I hear, "hey, excuse me...." I turn around and notice a fella leaning out it car window informing me, "They won't let you in there if your caring a gun"
I was a little surprised by his comment, as I have been OCing @ Joes in Lake Grove and Sherwood for some time now with out incident.
I just smiled and said" Oh, it won't be a problem, but thank you for your concern"
After heading to the fishing section and acquiring the needed hardware, I descended on a gaggle of female sales associates for help in locating some water proof diddy bags.
The word "diddy" got me silence and blank looks so after a brief explanation they called over the camping guy and sure enough they had exactly what I was after.
As per usual no one seemed to give my firearm a second thought.
About 2 weeks ago I strolled into Woodcrafters @ Greenberg and 99w for some 1/16 birch laminate. While at the register one of the clerks asked "What are you toting?" I told him "A .45" He says "that's what I thought"
This man was perhaps in his early 60s. He stated "I need to get a permit" I agreed. He told me had served in the Marines for 30 years and carried a .45. I told him, "Oregon is a shall issue state; the process is fairly painless".
"Considering your service is a contributing factor towards defending our constitutional right to have firearms at all, you defiantly should get your permit" I said.
I'll check back with him again in a couple of weeks and do a follow up.
