n Sept. 17 and Sept. 19, a man was seen walking with a rifl e over his shoulder near four public schools in the Hillsboro OSchool District: Imlay Elementary School, Ladd Acres Elementary School, R.A. Brown Middle School and Century High School. The man was on public sidewalks and displayed no threatening behavior. On July 18, another man strolled through the Pacifi c University campus in Forest Grove with a semi-automatic rifl e strapped to his back and a OUROPINION pistol in a side holster. Oregon has an “open car- ry” law, which stipulates that a citizen has the right to publicly carry a fi re- arm in plain sight. Fair enough. We don’t have a problem with that. Yet we also think it’s understandable that most people don’t appreciate seeing a stranger walking around with a fi rearm. It’s natural that upon see- ing someone with a gun, a student, teacher, par- ent or a passing motorist is going to call 911. In the Hillsboro case, about a dozen people did so, and as a result, on Sept. 19 Brown Middle School and Imlay Elementary School went into lockout.
