Legal challenges filed
to gun storage ballot title
A big day for college grads
By CLAIRE
WITHYCOMBE
Capital Bureau
SALEM — Three legal
challenges were last week
against the ballot title for an
initiative petition to impose
storage requirements on Ore-
gon gun owners.
The court challenge dras-
tically shortens the time sup-
porters have to gather signa-
tures to get Initiative Petition
44 on the ballot, but they are
publicly optimistic about the
effort.
Ballot titles are the brief
caption,
summary
and
description of the result of a
“yes” or “no” vote printed for
each measure on the ballot.
If anyone objects to the title,
they can petition the Oregon
Supreme Court to review the
language.
The Oregon Supreme
Court on Friday consolidated
the three challenges to the IP
44 ballot title into one case,
and set a June 25 deadline for
the Oregon Attorney General
to respond to the challenge.
Challengers will then have
until June 28 to file their own
response.
Initiative Petition 44, filed
in early April, would require
gun owners to secure their
firearms in a lock box or by
using a trigger or cable lock.
It would also require them to
report if one of their guns is
stolen or lost within 24 hours
of learning of the theft or loss.
Failure to comply with
those requirements would be
considered a violation, not a
crime.
The measure would also
hold gun owners civilly lia-
ble for five years following an
incident for injuries resulting
from a failure to comply with
the measure’s requirements.

came primarily from the North Coast and Long Beach Peninsula, and as far away as

The Coast Guard says it
rescued a husband and wife
from a sailing vessel 180
miles off the coast of Grays
Harbor, Washington.
Officials say an MH-60

Saturday morning hoisted the
wasn’t taking on water, but
the aircrew at the request of
the vessel owners hoisted the
couple to the helicopter due
to health concerns. The cou-
ple was treated for symptoms
related to hypothermia.
The Coast Guard has
warned other vessels of the
adrift sailing vessel.
Body of missing fisherman found
from the shore Tuesday night
near Clatsop Spit. Wednes-
day, after roughly 24 hours,
the Coast Guard suspended
its search, which was largely
concentrated near the Colum-
bia River side of the South
Jetty.
The Daily Astorian
Authorities have found the
body of a fisherman who had
been missing since Tuesday.
Bret Allen Yates, 52, of
Scappoose, had been miss-
ing since he went fishing
His body was located
Saturday on Social Secu-
rity Beach at Fort Stevens
State Park. Foul play does
not appear to be a factor in
Yates’ death, according to
the Clatsop County Sheriff’s
Office.

adequately describe the penal-
ties for failing to comply.
“While it is true there is
no state or federal law that
requires trigger/cable locks on
firearms, that requirement that
would be imposed by IP 44
is a minor change in the con-
text of the consequences of
not putting a trigger/cable lock
on a firearm,” wrote Domi-
nic Aiello and Asha Aiello,
who filed a petition Thursday.
The third petition was filed
by Kevin Starrett, head of the
Oregon Firearms Federation.
Paul Kemp, one of the
chief petitioners supporting IP
44, says that the group behind
the measure, Oregonians for
Safe Gun Storage and Report-
ing Lost/Stolen Firearms, has
arranged to hire a paid signa-
ture-gathering firm to try to
meet the July 6 deadline.
Kemp says that his group is
seeing “strong support” for the
measure.

Supporters of the petition
— including family members
of people killed in the shooting
at the Clackamas Town Center
in 2012 — want to get the peti-
tion on the ballot in November.
Challengers Keely Hop-
kins, state director for the
National Rifle Association,
and Paul Donheffner, legisla-
tive committee chairman for
the Oregon Hunters’ Associa-
tion, expressed concerns about
regulating how gun owners
store their weapons.
“ … IP 44 dictates par-
ticular storage and transfer
requirements while imposing
conditions that unduly burden
the ability of law-abiding cit-
izens to use arms for self-de-
fense and other lawful pur-
poses,” their petition states.
“Safety and storage is a mat-
ter of personal responsibility
and subject to each individu-
al’s particular circumstances
and needs.”
Opponents of the ballot title
for IP 44 also claim the caption,
as written, focuses on the lock-
