COVID19 gun store closures
Gov. Inslee’s March 23rd executive order directs
all Washingtonians to stay home, except for “Essential Critical
Infrastructure Workers.” This category does not include workers of
firearm and ammunition businesses, meaning gun stores across the state
could be shut down.
On March 27th, state Senator
Lynda Wilson delivered letters to Governor Jay Inslee explaining why it
is essential that citizens are able to access their Second Amendment
rights during the COVID-19 crisis. One letter was signed by 46 state
lawmakers and the other was signed by 15 law enforcement officials from
across the state. Click here to view the letters and see if your legislators, sheriff, or police chief signed.
“Some things don’t stop because of
COVID-19, and unfortunately, one of those is crime. Governor Inslee
can’t assume criminals will honor his stay-at-home order – he’s aware
that a state trooper gave his life on Tuesday while trying to apprehend a
suspected criminal who obviously wasn’t staying home,” said Senator Wilson.
Because Initiative 594 criminalized private sales of
firearms and severely restricted transfers, the closing of gun stores
will make it nearly impossible for citizens to give or sell a firearm to
friends, extended family, or others seeking to exercise their right to
self-defense.
