You show your ignorance by mistaking City of Portland proper for all of Oregon.
Oregon usually interprets self defense quite (forgive the term) liberally.
State law even allows shooting to stop an arsonist, among many other “non-violent” felonies in progress, let alone to defend self or others.
Yes I do. I never lived in Oregon. I did live in Washington and I know that the Left side of WA is nothing like the Right side. Unfortunately, the Left side seems to have most of the political clout. Oregon seems to have the same problem. There are conservative areas of Massachusetts and Maryland too, but overall the states are left-leaning.
