I am a gun owner/enthusiest living close in portland.  I completly agree with the mayor.  These new laws would not affect me at all, or any other legal gun owner.  I believe that in court a child who used a parents firearm in self defense would not be charged with a crime upon the right circumstances.  these new laws are worth a try, i wish people would stop standing in the way when it comes to making this a bettrer place.  when these walls are put up we all lose.

I have concealed a gun for many years, due to the risk of my job.  I own multiple guns, and i am a member of the NRA.  I choose to conceal, and make it a point not to let anyone know, because i feel more safe and I feel that people around me do as well.  HOWEVER, I also believe that gun owners(especially CPL holders) should be required a psych evaluation, as well as gun training.  I know that is unrealistic, but it makes sense
