Several Oregon counties have referenda on the ballot to re-enforce protections for Second Amendment rights. The movement to re-enforce the Second Amendment protections started in 2013, in Wallowa County. Similar referenda have passed in four counties, Coos, Curry, Wallowa, and Wheeler.
Wheeler and Coos county passed their ordinances in 2015, Curry county passed a similar ordinance in 2016.
These are: Baker County (measure 1-84), Columbia County (measure 5-270), Douglas county (measure 10-165), Jackson county (measure 15-181), Klamath County (measure 18-110), Lake County (measure 1-84), Lincoln County (measure 21-189), Linn County (measure 11-174), Umatilla County (measure 20-128), and Union County (measure 31-96).
The passed and proposed referenda may be read at the cooscountywatcher.com.
The measures are similar. They assert the primacy of the U.S. and Oregon constitutional protections of the right to keep and bear arms and the Ninth, Tenth, and Fourteenth amendments to the U.S. Constitution. There are several variations.
The Oregon Constitutional protection is in Article 1, Section 27 of the Oregon Constitution.
Section 27. Right to bear arms; military subordinate to civil power. The people shall have the right to bear arms for the defence [sic] of themselves, and the State, but the Military shall be kept in strict subordination to the civil power[.]

Today I learned that it is not “referendums”, and that I’ve been doing it wrong this whole time.
I lived in Curry County on the coast for almost a decade. Good conservative ranchers, farmers, and fishermen on the Southern Oregon coast. I miss the weather and the fishing.
Democrats made a statement when they defied federal law and created their own regarding immigration. So, Counties now must take action and defy state laws, because the Democrats have shown them that rule of law doesn’t matter anymore. democrats love mob rule. Counties should give them mob rule
I spent some time in the late ‘70s working for the Forest Service in Gold Beach. Great country, good times, but I don’t know if I could take the rainy winters now after 30+ years in Arizona and New Mexico.
I know what you mean. I am in Linn County. My brother moved here from Thailand in July, for access to advanced medicine.
The Summer was fine with him, if a bit cooler than he was used to. Now he is beginning to suffer from "cold" weather. The temps are still around 70 daytime and 45 nighttime. I tell him to wait until winter arrives before complaining about the cold.
Have you read “River Rogue Sheriff?”
I’ll direct post #7 to you, as well.
i have not but I will check it out.
I lived in Port Orford but more people know Coos Bay. I miss the fishing and the small town 4th of July celebrations.
I never did. Was that about Sheriff Boice? I met him a time or two, and one of the guys I worked with was kin to the Miller brothers.
Yes, it is about Sheriff Boice. One of the Miller brothers has a son that lives int town, or did, anyway. Haven’t seen him for a while.
