1000's getting Concealed license in Oregon

 When I say thousands are getting their concealed licenses in Oregon, what I mean is, before the end of the year, I will certify at least a thousand more. This does not include the many other instructors that will also be certifying people to apply for their license.
 I honestly believe that we at Oregon Concealed help more people in Oregon get their Oregon, Utah, and Arizona licenses than anybody else in Oregon. Now... we are making it even easier.
 We have a Groupon going in the Eugene market for a concealed handgun class to get your Oregon certificate.
 Oregon class $35
 Oregon class for 2 $65
 Online Oregon class at your convenience $35

  We have lots of classes scheduled in Portland and Salem

Double Barrel .45 semi-auto

 If you have not seen Arsenal Firearms new .45, now is as good a time as any to go check it out.
Although (even though I have not fired one yet) it is not going to be my first recommendation for a conceal carry firearm for personal defense, it is seriously awesome. I can not wait to get my hands on one. I have watched the YouTube video dozens of times.
 The AF2011-a1 is a 1911 style pistol that is branded as "a new pistol for a new century"
 I want to fire one, but mostly I want to have it sitting in my classroom when I do my concealed handgun classes. I love a good topic of discussion.
  The only reason I would not carry it concealed is the fact that a 1911 is already a good sized pistol. And then, double the width and the weight. But, "oh man" talk about stopping power.
   You can learn more about this pistol at the link below. Someone tell me when they find it for sale. I want one.

10 year old shooting an exploding target

 We have a lot of fun when we go out and take the kids. We want them to learn that besides the safety and responsibility involved in firearms, there is an element that can be fun. As much as I preach practice, practice, practice... some would think that it could start sounding like a chore..

 Mix it up. Have some fun. Make it a family outing. The next weekend that we do not have three or four concealed handgun classes we are going to make a picnic lunch, take the whole family, and make a day out of it. I can't wait.

Conceal Carry in the Oregon State Fair.

A lot of people have come by booth and complained that they do not think its right that they can not carry concealed at the state fair.
So I ask. "Why can't you?"
     "Because it is a state park."

Well....
  I am not saying go carry to the fair, but I will say read the statutes. Read the book Oregon Concealed. It is on Amazon. If you did not get good information from your instructor when you took your concealed class I am sorry. Watch the concealed class at oregonconcealed.com for an up to date class with an Oregon law section included. It is FREE. Anyone can get that safety and law for free. You only pay for the certificate if you need it (as ling as you can pass the test at the end;)
Pass it on. Tell a friend. Get a refresher, or get your certificate so you can get your Oregon chl.

WaHooooo - first actual review:

On Wed, Aug 1, 2012 at 11:10 AM, Dean Allen <***@yahoo.com:

Wow this was a great read! Facts, stories and not too much bs or as I call it attorney shit. Got a lot of good information and was vary entertained in the process. Could not put it down - read cover to cover! I give it ***** stars and recommend it to anyone who honestly wants to be a true American. Everyone needs to take these issues seriously. Each day our state county and government are downsizing. It's up to the people to defend themselves and there families.

Dean

This cover was a consideration, but not chosen - What do you think? The book can be purchased at http://www.oregonconcealed.com

The book is finally back.

We went and picked up our first copies of the book, Oregon Concealed.

  The book is available for $14.95 plus shipping. At www.oregonconcealedlaw.com

I have had several "students" discretely call me over the last few days asking me what I thought of the Colorado shootings at the theater leaving 12 dead and 58 wounded, or some number like that. As an instructor of concealed handgun license classes in Oregon, of course I have an opinion.

My wife Linda and I went to the show about 3 weeks ago. It was on a Tuesday evening, so that as older folks we could get the senior and Tuesday special discount. There were 4 men from a previous class of mine some time earlier, about 2 years ago there in line for their tickets as well. I knew they were armed. Of course Linda and I have our licenses too.

At the show were a few college age students who as is common with that age were engaged the antics of young adults. They were loud boisterous, and generally obnoxious.

Linda and I no longer sit in the bleacher type seats at the top were our backs are protected. We have had the discussion in some of our classes of where in a crowded theater is the best place to sit. Each have their own views in this subject matter.

But to get to the punch line and not belabor this short discussion, when the movie started another elderly couple just above the 7 young men asked them to quiet down. They ignored that couple, one of them mocking the older folks. I asked Linda if she wanted to stay. She said, "Yes, but talk to management for us." As I stood one of my former students came down the side isle from the bleachers. So I watched.

He bent over and said something to the young man on the end closest to him, next to the isle. Of course I could not hear what he had to say. The ripple effect worked and before I could sit back down, they were all quiet. They remained that way for the rest of the show. When they left, as a group, they were quiet, almost respectful.

Of course my imagination was in overdrive and as I write here, again goes to that interesting place. I do not know what was said and can only speculate.

That takes us to Colorado, and James Eagan Holmes. In that factual incident there are a lot of "buts" and "what ifs." Pages and pages of vulture Internet folks speculate to sell their particular product, whether media or political.

In one of the discrete calls I was asked,  "Is Holmes is the poster child for gun control?" My response was that he is not a child. There are already enough laws on the books to control that situation as much as it could be controlled. No new layer of laws will make the criminals any less criminal. They will only burden the honest law abiding citizens with new levels of governmental crazy.

Oregon has built into the fabric of our society here the fundamental right of each of us to carry firearms for our personal protection, the protection of others around us, and our state. It is called Article 1, Section 27 of the Oregon Constitution. It was accepted by the Feds when they accepted our original charter and vote on it.

The bottom line is there there is no compelling need for legislation to take the handguns out of the possession of Oregon law abiding Citizens. Just the opposite is true.

And with that said, I invite any who read this blog to read OREGON CONCEALED, The Best Defense, Deadly Force, by me, Don Leach. I discuss in a comfortable and easy read the elements of personal protection, when Deadly Force can be used, and the limitations on the use of Deadly Force. Except for the true stories, I leave the practice of law behind me, focusing on the elements driving the public policy today.

This book is at the printer and can be pre-ordered for $14.95 plus S&H. Just go to the store at Oregon Concealed Co. (http://www.oregonconcealed.com). It will be available from the online store, at Oregon Concealed's website, and selected gun dealers and shows after August 15, 2012. I can be reached at don@ochlc.com or 541.579.3500.

My heart goes out to the victims in Colorado. My prayers to them and their families who have to live with blight of that incident.

FREE Oregon concealed carry class.

People ask about my free classes all the time......
      Well, It's easy, there's no catch, and no gimmicks.

  When you host a private class you, as the host, get incentives and bonuses. Kind of like hosting a Tupperware party, only it's a better party, with better stuff, and better prizes. A lot of people hear "Private Class" and assume that it is going to cost more, but the opposite is true.

 Q. Well, what if I don't want a bunch of strangers at my house.
 A. You only have who you want. Friends, family, co-workers, church members.
 A. You don't have to have it at your house. Use your church, work, local grange, fire dept., If you    have more than 20 people, and can't find a spot, I will rent one.

 Q. What if I don't have someplace to shoot?
 A.  There is no range time in our concealed carry class. We teach shooting, and hold our classes                 separate from concealed classes so that we can have one on one instructor to student ratio. There is no shooting required to obtain your concealed handgun license in Oregon, Utah, or Arizona.

 The way the Free class works is you (as the host) get a spiff for each person that you brought to the class. The minimum class size depends on how far we have to travel to give the class, but the incentives are the same no matter what.
 Five people paying for their class gets you your Oregon class for free. Ten in your class will get you your Oregon and Utah, and fifteen will get you Arizona too.
  If you already have one or all of these, there are other prizes and awards available such as holsters, targets, exploding targets, books, ammo, etc.  As the size of the class increases, so do the prizes.

 Our class is four hours long. Sometimes a little longer depending on the people. If you have 20 people, and want to do a barbecue in the middle of it, it will take a little longer.

  Call or email for more info on how to set up a private class, or to pick a date.

What does "concealed" mean?

DON & LINDA LEACH

Oregon Concealed Co. Founders

"It is important to understand the “concealed” concept. With the background we have provided above, with no statutory or administrative law definitions of the word “concealed” in the law, it becomes a term of legal art with its common meaning. Flowing from this treatment and attached to the statute is a “mens re” or “criminal mind set.” The alleged “criminal” had to have intended to conceal, to hide, or to secret his gun on his or her person, or within his or her control to be guilty of the crime of wrongfully carrying a concealed handgun.

·     To carry concealed, one has to intend the handgun be hidden from view and/or secreted so that others cannot see it."

Copywrite 2012 by Don Leach, author of Oregon Concealed - The Best Defense

This book will be availabe from oregonconcealed.com in July, 2012 

"The examples in Oregon Concealed are true, taken from my case files as a practicing attorney. However, most of the names and locations have been changed to protect privacy; e.g. John Smith, Jane Smith, Bad Guy 1 or 2, etc. from Somewhere, Pandora County. Police, whether State, County, or City are referred to as Officer 1, 2, etc.

As the author my goal is to give you a complete understanding on the application of the concealed gun laws in Oregon in order that you may make informed decisions. The choice to carry concealed lawfully is the reader’s, but I believe that responsible gun owners can and should follow the law as it is applied today if they want to keep their involvement with enforcement minimal." From Oregon Concealed - the Best Defense - Using Deadly Force - Copywrite Don Leach 2012. This how to survive book will be available in July, 2012

Oregon Concealed BOOK by Don Leach

"I have nothing but the highest and even bitter contempt for Oregon presiding judges who pass judicial administrative regulations that keep honest people from carrying handguns for their personal protection in the courthouse and the courtroom. They violate their oath of office and no amount of legal mental masturbation can justify that contemptible practice, which in my perspective is a complete prostitution of themselves and their personal integrity to the other branches of government in violation of my fundamental constitutional right to be able to have immediate protection for myself and third parties in my presence." Copywrite by Don Leach, from OREGON CONCEALED, The Best Defense, Use of Deadly Force - to be available July 2012 at OregonConcealed.com 

UnderTech concealment options.

Another good way to carry your concealed handgun is with Undertech compression shirts and shorts. With a small or midsize handgun, you can carry under you shirt or pants without the worry of someone seeing your handgun. There are many good techniques for concealment, but there is something to be said about being able to reach, stretch, and bend over without someone seeing what you want concealed.

Practice Shooting, Practice often

  I beleive that holidays are time for family, and a time to reflect on the things that are important in life. Many people think of Easter as a time to make it to church. Some, to reflect on god, or spend time with family, pray, have a big dinner, or maybe even stay at home and do nothing or lock yourself away and try to avoid it all. We, as Americans, have the right to do any of these as we wish. We have the FREEDOM of religion and chioce because our forefathers stood up and said we are free, and fought for those rights that many take for granted.
  We woke up and had a big traditional (our family tradition) Easter breakfast, then we went in the back yard and found easter baskets and looked for eggs. Now, we are loading up in the surburban and going to the rock quarry to practice shooting. We are going to shoot at exploding pistol targets (that you can purchase on my website) and easter eggs (nice small targets). Because really, how many eggs can we eat anyway?
  Any time that you can spend with family is a good oppotunity to teach your children gun safety, and practice,practice,practice. If anybody in my family finds themselves in a situation that they have to use a gun to defend themselves or our freedoms, it is good to know that they will know how. It is good to know that they will hit their target, and not something they do not want to shoot.
  It is a day for family and a day for fun.

 HAPPY EASTER.

Treason by Senator Burdick - Oregon

SB 1550 and 1551 went down because Don Leach called it the way it is. The sponsor, Senator Burdick, in support of criminals and drug dealers and in order to make their lives easier submitted these bills. Under her actions she violated the Oregon Constitution Article 1, Sections 1, 24, and 27. In doing so it is my view she committed Treason within the meaning of the Oregon Constitution. I am thankful for the wisdom of the Judiciary Committee is seeing through this overt attack by the Senator on all of us who are native Oregonians or choose to live here.

Conceal carry in schools

The Oregonian Newspaper recently ran an article about  Concealed Carry at our public universities in the state of Oregon. http://www.oregonlive.com/education/index.ssf/2011/09/oregon_court_of_appeals_reject.html
At the base level we see that it should be clear cut, and simple. We are governed by Federal and State law. The Oregon Revised Statues are clear where it comes to "public schools", "public buildings" and exceptions.

Even though the Oregon Concealed Handgun Licenses are issued by the County, The laws concerning concealed carry are made exclusively by the Oregon Legislature, and apply the same throughout the state.
