I write because I am a member of OFF and they have linked to your successful campaign to essentially un-enforce Oregon's oppressive gun laws.
What surprises me is that the two commissioners balk at gun rights...they must have sneaked up from California overnight and borrowed local addresses to run., I found NB to be a very conservative place.
I know the libs say you "can't do that" you know, much like Obama "can't write executive orders for everything" but the neat piece is there is very little mechanism to force a sheriff to enforce the law.
Congratulations on your successful initiative; Coos County is a safer place to live. In the perfect world the two commissioners would be run out of town for their utter failure to enable their constituents to protect themselves. Maybe in your part of the country this could happen. I think the two commissioners should proudly display signs on their lawns, "this house is proudly unarmed." See how that works.
I also lived in Reedsport for a number of years. Love the Oregon Coast and delighted that Roseburg protested the visit of His Highness from DC...who was not able to totally control the media at that event.
