Wise freepers may come up with a logical rational to uphold this law. If the city says carrying any loaded firearms is reckless, does it make sense that the appeals court is saying that "reckless" is a separate element from loaded?

"It does not prohibit a person with a permit to carry concealed weapons from knowingly carrying a recklessly not-unloaded firearm in a public place. It does not prohibit a person from carrying a recklessly not-unloaded weapon in a public place in order to engage in justified conduct - reasonable defense of self against felonious attack," the judge continued.

I despite lawyers and find them feckless turds. Evidence shows they can’t be trusted.

I admire the lawyers on the other side, who are preparing the appeal briefs to the state supreme court.

“a recklessly not-unloaded firearm”
I saw a not unlarge dog chasing a not unfast rabbit through a not ungreen meadow.

So in Portland you can walk around with an unloaded weapon and make believe you work at the Egyptian Embassy..... GREAT!!! /s

My high school classmate wrote the dissent, but I haven't a clue what it means! But Rex was like that. He famously wrote for the majority in the infamous Oregon “live on-stage sex” case and has been dining with Christie Hefner ever since after getting an award from Playboy for it (what a name dropper).
“Judge Rex Armstrong found the majority's interpretation of the ordinance implausible. ‘So understood, the ordinance distinguishes between a gang member who carries a gun that another gang member has asked the person to carry to patrol the gang's purported territory and a person who carries a gun to a shooting range that the person's parent has said is unloaded,’ Armstrong wrote in his dissent.”

What about the honest lawyers? You owe both an apology.

Are they also going to check criminals to make sure their weapons are not loaded? Conservative minds would like to know.

See also State v. Reid, 1 Ala. 612, 616617 (1840) (A statute which, under the pretence of regulating, amounts
to a destruction of the right, or which requires arms to be
so borne as to render them wholly useless for the purpose
of defence, would be clearly unconstitutional).

So I can carry my nine with say 14 rounds in it. The magazine capacity is 15. So it wouldn’t be loaded, just partially loaded... Probably too fine a distinction for Portland’s finest...

“Say what you will about em, lawyers do tend to be babe magnets/s;)”
Judge Rex Armstrong has been more of a “baby magnet” having adopted 13 Chinese orphan babies and children at last count, many of whom have disabilities. He claims to be an atheist, but has a big heart.
To: Sherman Logan
just don’t chamber the first round, you’ll be okay..
