Hales held his first news confer ence as mayor on Monday to back the national campaign. Like his pre decessor, Sam Adams, Hales has joined Mayors against Illegal Guns. About 800 mayors belong. Hales urged the Oregon Legisla ture, which convened Monday, to adopt similar laws. He called them, as he put it, "com mon sense changes we can make even in a country with the Second Amendment." The mayor said he doesn't expect to push local gun ordinances be cause the city has limited authority. He says local measures would be ineffective because the city can't control the behavior of people in surrounding cities.

Men Carry Rifles in Public, Legally Two men carrying assault rifles on their backs in the Sellw ood neighborhood alarmed several on lookers, but police rem ind the public that openly carrying a fire arm is legal in Oregon and carry ing a concealed firearm is legal with a valid C oncealed Handgun License. O fficers contacted the arm ed men in the area o f South east Seventh Avenue and Spo kane Street. The men, both age 22, told police that they were exercis ing their 2nd A m endm ent rights and hoping to educate the public. Officers explained to the armed men that carrying the guns in public would likely continue to generate 9- 1-1 calls from an alarmed public, which would require a police re sponse and possibly tie up re sources that are needed elsewhere to respond to true emergencies However, neither man seemed interested in these concerns, said police in a report. The Portland Police Bureau asks that members o f the public who see people armed with guns to immedi ately call 9-1-1.
