Clark Co. Sheriff Atkins posted on facebook that he'll follow the letter of 1639 because it was a vote of the people that passed it. I've supported him in two elections. There won't be a third.Yes, that was very disappointing to read....

Walla Walla County, City and College Place City are going to enforce 1639Not surprised by the cities. Sheriff's Offices are more political due to the fact the Sheriff is actually elected. This is the reason why you typically only hear Sheriff's making these political statements and not police chiefs.
A Police Chief works for the mayor. No point in them making a political statement, especially when it can be overruled by the mayor/city council.

Wonder what his thoughts are on the legislature gutting I-940, after all it was voted in by the people.....

Good! What’s up in the SE corner?
Neither Benton or Franklin are enforcing.

I am thinking 1639 is gonna be tied up, and all the enforcement will be tied up for a few years. regardless of statements about enforcing or not. There are lots of questions, agencies are allowed certain leeway about how to enforce new laws, there is a lot to be determined about this law. Many terms need to be "legally" defined. what is enhanced training, what is "secure" storage? The problem I see is the public getting used to passing laws that do nothing.

Unfortunately, it is the responsibility of gun owners to comply with the law which means figuring that out. Either WA will not push these cases outside of adding it on to 200 other charges in egregious events or there will be a ton of cases going up to figure out what is secure and what is not.
Best case scenario is that SCOTUS picks up a case involving a lock mandate as a challenge to bearing arms.
