Title: Thurston County Gun Ban Video?
Post by: bearpaw on March 02, 2012, 12:55:49 PM: This was sent to me and it certainly raises some questions.

All gun owners in Washington may want to weigh in on this, apparently county officials are trying to ban shooting in Thurston County. Gun Bans spread like a cancer once passed.

What is going on here and what is your opinion?

Post by: billythekidrock on March 02, 2012, 02:20:34 PM: This is a slam on Don Krupp (County Manager) and Sandra Romero who is a Thurston County Commissioner. Basically these nut jobs (including the other two bimbo commissioners) are out to ban duck hunting in the south end of Puget Sound.

This has been an ongoing issue for about two years now. We have had a couple threads here about it and some site members have gone to some meetings.

If you click the video you can go to the YouTube page where there is more information.

Post by: bearpaw on March 02, 2012, 05:56:03 PM: My immediate concern is that bans like this will spread like cancer once they are started, form one county to another. I was told there is already a ban in another county (kitsap?), is that true?

This may be a good thing to stay actively opposed?

Post by: JimmyHoffa on March 02, 2012, 06:12:30 PM: Kitsap was one range...a range that had been there for almost 90 years and then housing sprang up around the mid 80's and continued to expand. The next place to expand housing would be the range itself. There are some other ranges in Kitsap.

A few years back Jefferson County tried to ban discharge of all firearms. It failed, but they tried. That is one of the best areas to shoot because of how few people and how much land is available. But the county is run by Port Townsend--if you haven't been there think 1960's San Francisco hippies.
