Crazy title. One pretty much needs to take a loaded gun with them if they are going to shoot someone. If they don’t load it, or leave it home, it makes it somewhat more difficult to shoot someone.

Boo. Guns are bad. That is the way some see the world.

In Portland the idea of a “loaded” gun is pretty big. Only people that have concealed carry permits from Oregon (or a few reciprocal states) can carry a loaded gun - even in the trunk of their car.

If the gun is a semi-auto, the magazines themselves need to be empty. If not (even stored separately from the gun) it is a “loaded gun”.

Seeing as this guy lives in Washington state, he may or may not have an Oregon CCW permit. I imagine he probably may also have a record that would prevent him from possession of a firearm.
