laser strike New law eases handgun restriction
hits oregon-
bound plane
By steven dubois
Associated Press
MEDFORD (AP) — An
Allegiant Air spokeswoman
says a crew member on a
Medford, Oregon-bound
flight had to seek medical
attention after a New Year’s
Day laser strike hit him in the
eye.
The Mail-Tribune reports
that airline spokeswoman
Jessica Wheeler says Flight
558 from Los Angeles landed
safely. She says the flight
was approaching the south-
ern Oregon airport when the
plane’s first officer was hit.
Wheeler says the man was
taken to a local physician to
be cleared to fly. She did not
know his condition.
The newspaper says the
plane had been scheduled for
an 8:30 p.m. Thursday depar-
ture for Las Vegas that had
to be pushed back to Friday
morning.
Wheeler says the airline
filed a report with local law
enforcement and will cooper-
ate with the Federal Aviation
Administration and FBI “on
any investigation they may
do.”
FBI Portland spokes-
woman Beth Anne Steele said
she couldn’t confirm whether
the agency’s Medford agents
would be taking part in the
investigation. She says the
agency “does have the ability
to investigate laser strikes.”

Licensed Broker in the State of Oregon
PORTLAND (AP) — Ore-
gon attracts many people from
elsewhere, and a new law
allows some of them to get a
concealed handgun license.
State law generally prohib-
its people with drug convic-
tions from getting a license
to carry a concealed handgun.
But Oregon reduced the sever-
ity of marijuana possession
charges in 1973, and has long
allowed residents with one
minor pot offense to obtain a
license.
That exception, however,
did not apply to Oregonians
who got caught with an iden-
tical amount of marijuana in
another state.
Starting New Year’s Day, it
will. It’s one of several incre-
mental or otherwise low-pro-
file laws going into effect this
week. The most anticipated
new law of 2015, marijuana
legalization, takes effect in six
months.
The Oregon State Sheriffs’
Association pushed House
Bill 4068, which was spon-
sored by Rep. Kim Thatcher,
R-Keizer, and Rep. David
Gomberg, D-Otis, and over-
whelmingly approved by the
House and Senate. County
sheriffs are responsible for
issuing concealed handgun
licenses, and the association
said it wanted “across-the-
board consistency” regarding
marijuana convictions.
“It’s just a matter of fair-
ness,” Thatcher said. “Turn-
ing people down where they
wouldn’t have been turned
down if the conviction hap-
pened in Oregon doesn’t seem
to make sense.”
Nearly 200,000 Orego-
nians had a concealed hand-
gun license as of July. It’s
unknown how many people
have been thwarted from get-
ting one because of a pot con-
viction in another state.
Kevin Starrett, director
of the Oregon Firearms Fed-
eration, helped write a simi-
lar bill that was considered
in the 2013 session but did
not pass. He was pleased it
was approved this year by a
Democratic-controlled Sen-
ate he considers “extremely
anti-gun.”
“I can’t tell you why things
go the way they do,” he said.
Gun control advocates did
not see the need to change the
law. Penny Okamoto, direc-
tor of Ceasefire Oregon, said
she’d like to see more train-
ing for people with concealed
handgun licenses.
With marijuana becom-
ing legal in a few months,
Okamoto worries about the
mixing of guns and drugs,
whether it’s pot, alcohol, pre-
scription medication or some-
thing else.
the news is rife with people
intoxicated in some fashion
making bad choices.
— penny okamoto
“The news is rife with peo-
ple intoxicated in some fash-
ion making bad choices,” she
said.
