PORTLAND -- Nick Meli is emotionally drained. The 22-year-old was at Clackamas Town Center with a friend and her baby when a masked man opened fire.

snip:
The break in gunfire allowed Meli to pull out his own gun, but he never took his eyes off the shooter.

"As I was going down to pull, I saw someone in the back of the Charlotte move, and I knew if I fired and missed, I could hit them," he said.

Meli took cover inside a nearby store. He never pulled the trigger. He stands by that decision.

"I'm not beating myself up cause I didn't shoot him," said Meli. "I know after he saw me, I think the last shot he fired was the one he used on himself."

And a very nice shopping center in a very nice area.

But in Commiefornia, good luck getting anyone to stop him. I also hear the OC Sheriff is trying to cut WAY down on the number of CCW permits (not that Orange County ever had that many) after Carona got booted.

I thought this happened in Oregon?

If so there is only the main city of Portland and a few surrounding areas that are liberal. I have many friends that live in the more rural areas and they are as conservative as it gets. And all of them are well armed.
