Episode Details

Portland’s City Council is poised to ban concealed handguns in public buildings, including City Hall, under a new proposal by Council President Jamie Dunphy — a move enabled by recent state law that lets local governments close existing loopholes. Dunphy argues the rule will enhance safety, especially for the 15% of people who might need guns to do the right thing, while exempting law enforcement and authorized personnel. But critics like Councilor Eric Zimmerman question its real-world impact and warn it could inadvertently penalize law-abiding citizens. The Community and Public Safety Committee will debate the measure next Tuesday, July 7th — as the city weighs its next steps on public safety.
