Along with being 88.2%white, Roseburg also has the following demographics:

Unemployed percentage below state average.
Black race population percentage significantly below state average.
Hispanic race population percentage below state average.
Median age above state average.
Foreign-born population percentage significantly below state average.
Institutionalized population percentage above state average.
I recently had a transaction with a gentleman from the Douglas County area. It was prior to the new law going into effect. I was told that the sheriff nor anyone else in the area would be bothering with the new laws. I have several collectors items I'd like to move along but most I encounter refuse to comply with the new law.
