I copied this from another firearm site and since it involves the bent wrist liberals in Oregon, I thought it would be fitting for Dude. As you know Dude is always
b!tching about Liberals in CA, and he does not know how the liberals have overtaken his state also.

I was in my favorite gun shop earlier this morning, picking up some primers and shooting the breeze with the owner, when I witnessed a truly comedic event.
First, a little background. Since the election last November, a lot of the local liberals (i.e. 70% of the state) have been protesting how afraid they are that the Trump administration might, I don't know, deport every "person of color" or take away their birthdays, or something like that. Some of the more "militant" leftists have even started arming themselves (I bet they're glad Obama didn't ban private gun ownership, now). This has led to some pretty scary moments at local public shooting ranges, as well as some memorable moments of comedy. This is one of the latter.
As I said, I was leaning on the display counter, listening to a spirited discussion of "revolver vs pistol" (a timeless gunshop topic), when in walked a sterotypical Portland hipster. He had the standard black rimmed glasses, the hipster beard, the plaid shirt and the skinny jeans (burgundy colored) and he was pissed!
He stormed (in a sort of sashaying fashion) to the counter and proceeded to give the owner "a piece of his mind" (not that he could spare any). At first, I couldn't follow what he was screeching about, but after listening carefully for a few minutes, it gradually became clear.
Apparently, Mr. Hipster had decided he was going to take "resisting" to the next level and purchased a handgun (a J-frame S&W, I later found out) at this particular gun shop. He also apparently decided he didn't need any education or training; he figured that since the "Neanderthals that voted for Trump" (his words) could handle guns, someone of his intellectual prowess would have no difficulty with it.
So, Mr. Hipster was carrying his J-frame while marching in solidarity at a "BLM" (I refuse to write out that group's full name) rally when a Portland police officer noticed it peeking out from under his plaid shirt. Now, Oregon is a "shall issue" state when it comes to concealed weapon permits, but Mr. Hipster hadn't realized that he needed a permit to carry concealed - he thought (as he shouted to the gun shop owner) that the background check had taken care of all that.
The Portland police officer was apparently not impressed enough by Mr. Hipster's "social justice warrior" credentials to give him a break, so Mr. Hipster ended up being handcuffed, arrested, booked and is facing charges for carrying a concealed firearm without a license in the Oregon city most likely to press those charges all the way. It's a class B misdemeanor, punishable by up to six months in jail and/or $2500 in fines.
As you might expect, Mr. Hipster blames someone else - the gun shop owner - for not TELLING him that he needed a concealed weapons permit to carry concealed. And he expected the gun shop owner to pay his fine and reimburse him for the gun the police confiscated.
John, the owner, listened patiently until Mr. Hipster ran out of steam and then said, in a calm, quiet voice, "Well, if I'd known you were that much of an idiot, I'd never have sold you the gun." That didn't calm Mr. Hipster much, and he started to sputter and hiss like an old radiator. John then said, "I tell you what - if you get that gun back from the police, you bring it here and I'll buy it back for full retail price, just to have a souvenir to go with the story."
At that, Mr. Hipster turned on the heel of his stylish but ironic sneakers and stomped out of the shop, hopped into his ZipCar (a SmartCar, couldn't you guess), and sped away in a blaze - well, really more of a smolder - of rubber, never to be seen again (this morning, anyway).
So, the lefties and hipsters are arming themselves, but the good news is that they'll probably just end up shooting themselves and each other.
