Oregon v. Perry

Defendant, a Washington resident traveling through this state, was charged in the District Court for Multnomah County with (1) Unlawful Possession of a Weapon in violation of state law, and (2) Carrying a Loaded Firearm in violation of a Portland city ordinance. Prior to trial, defendant moved to suppress the weapon on the ground that the seizure was unlawful. The trial judge granted the motion and the state appeals, assigning as error the granting of the motion to suppress.
