Oregon may expand gun-free zones, raise gun buying age

Oregon lawmakers have scheduled a pair of public hearings on Tuesday to tackle what’s shaping up to be this year’s principal gun legislation.

In the morning, the Senate Judiciary Committee will take testimony on a 44-page proposal that would, among other things, penalize some gun owners who fail to lock up their guns and allow gun dealers to refuse to sell guns to people younger than 21. In the afternoon, the House Judiciary Committee will consider a more limited gun safety bill.
