Today in History
The bloodiest four years in American history begin
when Confederate shore batteries under General P.G.T.
Beauregard open fire on Union-held Fort Sumter in South
Carolina’s Charleston Bay. On April 13, U.S. Major Robert
Anderson surrendered the fort. Two days later, President
Abraham Lincoln issued a proclamation calling for 75,000
volunteer soldiers to quell the Southern “insurrection.” —

“Human kindness has never weakened the stamina or softened
the fi ber of a free people. A nation does not have to be cruel
to be tough.”
— Franklin D. Roosevelt, 32nd president, died April 12, 1945

quarries in the area also used
for duck hunting. This was a re-
quest from River Bend Sand &
Gravel, which owns properties
next door,” Angstrom said.
Rob Bovett, legal counsel
for the Association of Oregon
Counties, added that active
quarries, like the one where
shooting occurred until a tem-
porary injunction was issued by
Polk County, are registered and
permitted as active sites.
Sen. James Manning voiced
concern over the lack of speci-
fi city in the bill regarding active
and inactive sites, but still sup-
ported moving it forward.
“I think that the overall
purpose of the bill is safety,
but there are concerns about
attacks on second amendment
right. When a woman is almost
struck with a bullet, that is a
safety issue. I’m still concerned
about the defi nition,” Manning
said. “A close call is a close call
and it could have been prevent-
ed.”
Sen. Cliff Bentz asked about
another part of the amended
bill that he saw as potentially
letting owners off the hook if
“reasonable measures” were
taken to prevent a bullet from
straying off the property.
“Are we suggesting that now
that a gate and signs are up,
(the owners) are off the hook
for reasonable damage?” Bentz
asked.
Angstrom replied that there
would be a tort aspect of any
lawsuit that emerged from the
legislation and a jury would
decide what accounted for rea-
sonable measures.
“It doesn’t seem to me that
just a gate is reasonable,” Bentz
said.
Only Sen. Dennis Linthicum
withheld support from moving
the bill to the fl oor, saying it
was too site specifi c and redun-
dant as a whole.
“Suddenly the whole state
apparatus is involved when lo-
cal injunction and restraining
order seem to have solved the
problem,” Linthicum said.
Floor hearings on the bill
will occur on a date to be de-
termined.

HEARING,
continued from Page A1
Eppley said the matter was
not one of gun rights, but
“providing us as a govern-
ment the ability to ensure the
rights of our citizens to enjoy
their life, liberty and proper-
ty from people irresponsibly
discharging guns.”
The original language
of the bill would have held
municipal and county gov-
ernments liable for inaction
when bullets strayed from
the quarry where recreation-
al shooting has occurred
for years, but amendments
fi led after the public hearing
narrowed the scope to just
property owners, operators,
lessees and those discharging
the fi rearms.
Even one gun rights sup-
porter turned out in favor of
the bill.
“Soft granite absorbs the
round, but in cases where we
have hard rock quarries those
bullets are ricocheting every-
where,” said Jack Esp, a one-
time candidate for the state
House of Representatives.
“Common sense doesn’t
stand with much of our pub-
lic, so that’s where I feel the
legislation here is appropriate
to some extent.”

Rob Bovett, legal counsel
for the Association of Or-
egon Counties, took issue
with allowing counties to be
held liable for damages, es-
pecially given that the area
where the shooting was tak-
ing place was not zoned for
shooting ranges.
“It says we would have li-
ability if we fail to regulate
a shooting range on land
which a shooting range is
not allowed,” he said. Bovett
argued Polk County offi cials
took action when a cease-
and-desist order was issued
last year.
Roger Beyer, a lobbyist
for the NRA, said the bill
would set a precedent legis-
lators should be concerned
with.
“Going forward, if some-
one is unhappy, they will
come to the legislature.
[Owners] will be subject to
liability any time anyone fi res
a bullet on private property,”
Beyer said.
Jerry Clancy, a Keizer res-
ident, said the original bill
didn’t go far enough.
“It exonerates [the own-
er] of any responsibility. We
would have to go after who-
ever [fi red the] shot. It ought
to prohibit any fi rearms from
being shot in that location at
all, make sure that the range
sudoku
can not be used, and that the
person who owns the prop-
erty is liable,” Clancy said.
Keizer resident Danny Di-
etz, a retired police offi cer,
said residents grew to accept
the shooting happening on
the property, but “it’s gotten
out of control. I understand
fi rearm safety and use of a
range. But this is not a range,
it is a place to shoot. They are
shooting over those berms.
Even in the best conditions,
mistakes happen and there
are safety errors being made
over and over again, year after
year,” Dietz said.
In June 2018, a bullet that
left the quarry penetrated
the home exterior wall and
struck a granite backsplash,
a few feet away from one of
the home owners. The inci-
dent followed a similar one
that occurred in September
2017. On Sept. 10, a hail of
bullets drove visitors out of
Sunset Park and residents out
of their homes.
A hearing on a permanent
injunction to stop the shoot-
ing that had been scheduled
for this week was canceled.
