Small Gun Shops Power Weapons Sales

Dozens of Outlets Cater to Hunters and Gun Aficionados

is leading up to fall hunting seasons and into Christmas, and when tax returns put extra cash into a hunter’s hand. Rosbach took time out to talk to The Weekender about the business of gun sales.

Rosbach, 50, has been the owner of Joe’s Outdoor Sports Shop for about 13 years. He said owning a store that supplies the needs of local hunters was something he thought would be an enjoyable career.

“I’ve hunted since I was a little guy with my dad so I’ve hunted for most of my life and it’s my favorite hobby,” he said.

The majority of his gun sales are for hunters, target shooters, those wishing to carry concealed weapons and those who purchase for home defense.

His shop offers both new and used guns, ammunition, optics and even

The greater Lewis County area is gun central when it comes to the numbers of hunters, gun enthusiasts, gun rights activists, and more than anything else, the dozens of gun shops from Pe Ell to Packwood, from Rochester to Winlock.

One of The Weekenders favorite gun shops, in large part to the extensive selection and expert people offering advice behind the counter, is Sunbird Shopping Center.

That outlet is a one-stop shopping heaven for hunters, offering rifles, scopes, handguns, ammunition, knives and the best of outdoor clothing, from head to toe.

A smaller gun shop which is typical of those sprinkled across the county is located inside the Lewis County Mall — Joe’s Outdoor Sports Shop.

friends. They would set up a cabin in the woods at the beginning of deer season and it would come down after elk season was done. During elk season, they would usually stay in the rustic shelter for a whole week while they hunted.

“I remember I first got my hunting license at 12, before that I used to follow dad around when he was hunting with a BB gun,” he said.

He doesn’t have a particular gun he recommends, but suggests potential gun owners come into the shop and touch and feel a gun, and also consider the recoil.

“For me I learned gun safety very early, my dad was very strict,” he said.

When his dad was in junior high he got shot in the chest with a shotgun in a hunting accident. He wasn’t supposed to live. Today his dad is still alive and well.

“He wasn’t supposed to live overnight — he’s got nine lives,” Rosbach said.

The hunting accident did not deter the Rosbach family from their love of hunting.

“He just really enjoyed being out there and wanted to pass it along to me,” he said. “And he did a good job and now I’m passing it on to my son.”

Today Rosbach said long stretches in a hunting camp during the season is more difficult as timber companies place more restrictions and often charge for access.

“It’s a very concerning time right now, and very disappointing,” he said. “Whether it is right or wrong, things have gotten so political it’s gotten out of hand.”

Sheriffs Who Don’t Enforce Washington’s New Gun Law Could Be Liable, AG Bob Ferguson says Ferguson Wrote He Was Confident the Wide-Ranging Law Was Constitutional, but He Was Concerned About Threats to Not Enforce the New Law

By David Gutman

SEATTLE TIMES STAFF REPORTER

County sherif fs who say they won’t enforce Washington’s new, stricter gun laws could be held liable if they refuse to per for m enhanced background checks and someone who shouldn’t buy a gun is able to buy one and uses it in a crime, Washington Attorney General Bob Ferguson said last week.

In an open letter to law enforcement, Ferguson wrote that he was confident the wide-ranging law was constitutional and would withstand court challenges, but that he was concerned about threats — mostly from county sheriffs — to not enforce the new law.

At least 13 county sheriffs have said they won’t enforce the law, Initiative 1639, which voters passed by a wide margin in November.

Most of the new law — which raises the minimum age to buy semiautomatic rifles, requires enhanced background checks for those rifles and can hold gun owners responsible if their gun was stored carelessly and is used in a crime — has not yet gone into effect. Only the higher age limit — raised from 18 to

Washington State Attorney General Bob Ferguson is recognized before the State of the State address in the House chamber at the Washington State Capitol in Olympia last month.

In November, the NRA and the Second Amendment Foundation sued Ferguson and the state of Washington in federal court, arguing

the law was unconstitutional.

The lawsuit was withdrawn last week, after Ferguson sought to have it dismissed on procedural

FROM PAGE 8. . ........................... grounds. But the lawsuit was simultaneously refiled, this time listing the Clark County sheriff, the Spokane police chief and the director of the state Department of Licensing as defendants.

The sheriffs claim the law is unconstitutional, but most have been vague about which parts of the law they object to and which parts they will not enforce.

The main responsibility for local law enforcement under the new law is to run the enhanced background checks — searching at least three state and federal databases and checking for outstanding warrants and pending criminal charges.

It is this aspect of the law, which local law enforcement has performed for years on anyone who tries to buy a handgun, that Ferguson said he is most concerned about.

“These enhanced background checks keep guns out of the hands of dangerous individuals who lawfully cannot own firearms because of a mental illness or criminal record,” Ferguson wrote. “As far as I know, no Washington sheriff or police chief has refused to perform these enhanced background checks for handguns. Why refuse to per form them for semiautomatic assault rifles?”

It is unclear how many of the sheriffs and police chiefs who have vowed not to enforce the law planned to not conduct the background checks.

For instance, Franklin County Sheriff Jim Raymond called the law unconstitutional and said he wouldn’t enforce it, but said he supported the 10-day waiting period and the enhanced background checks.

“Certainly we’re going to follow all of those type of things,” Raymond said.

If other sheriffs do not, however, Ferguson said they could be held liable if a gun sale that would have been prevented by the new background checks goes through and then someone uses that gun in a crime.

“The taxpayers of your city or county assume the financial risk of your decision to impose your personal views over the law,” he wrote.

Brionna Aho, a Ferguson spokeswoman, said Ferguson’s letter refers to potential civil lawsuits, not criminal charges, against sheriffs who don’t enforce the law.

“Liability would come in the form of a tort lawsuit from individual(s) harmed as a result of a sheriff or police chief refusing to comply with his or her legal obligation,” Aho

wrote in an email.

In defending their refusal to enforce the new law, several sheriffs have cited Seattle and other “sanctuary cities” that have promised to limit local involvement with immigration enforcement.

“Officers have discretion,” said Klickitat County Sheriff Bob Songer, who said he won’t enforce the law. “I follow the rule of law when I believe it’s constitutional.”

Ferguson says the comparison is misplaced. I-1639 is a state law,

Ferguson writes, and law-enforcement agencies have a duty to “abide by the will of the people we serve and implement and enforce the laws they adopt.”

“This is not a situation where the federal gover nment is trying to force the state to enforce federal laws,” he wrote. “If you personally disagree with Initiative 1639, seek to change it. Or file a lawsuit challenging it. But do not substitute your personal views over that of the people.”

Effort to Prevent Lead Exposure Would Restrict Minors’ Access to Ammo Dealers and Ranges Required to Display Warning Signs for Lead Ammo

By Sean Harding

WNPA OLYMPIA NEWS BUREAU

A Seattle lawmaker is concerned that lead exposure from ammunition and range activities may be harmful to Washington children.

A bill introduced in the House of Representatives aims to minimize the amount of lead children are exposed to while shooting.

House Bill 1346, introduced by Rep. Gerry Pollet, D-Seattle, would make it generally unlawful to sell, transfer, give or otherwise make lead ammunition available to individuals under the age of 21. Lead ammunition shared by a parent or guardian would be exempt.

Members of the National Guard would also be exempt, Pollet said.

The Center for Disease Control says that blood-lead levels under 5 micrograms per deciliter can have adverse effects on intelligence quotients for children ages 6-16. The same federal study found the mean lead levels in some 15-17-year-old competitive shooters to be nearly seven times higher than that of their non-shooting family members, but noted that no formal maintenance protocol was observed at their range.

It also did not account for outdoor ranges, where lead contamination is diluted.

“Today, you have a chance to do

something that you know, based on evidence, and very strong evidence, will significantly reduce lead exposure, neurological damage and loss of IQ,” Pollet said.

“I kind of find the premise a little bit offensive,” said Rep. Morgan Irwin, R-Enumclaw. “That my IQ is lower because I shot at indoor ranges as a child.”

“If you used a gun frequently — and I did as a kid — chances are your IQ was lowered,” Pollet said. “Sorry to tell you that.”

The Institute of Neurotoxicology and Neurological Disorders says that children absorb about 50 percent of lead ingested, compared to 10 percent by adults, because of their rapid bone growth. The CDC says there is no safe blood level of lead.

Lead is also found in metal mixtures and in batteries. The Wildlife Society says the metal can lead to reproductive impairment at “lower levels.”

“I have this friend; she’s going to college,” said Emery Lindauer, a high school student who shoots at Marysville Rifle Club. “She’s been to the Junior Olympics several times. I don’t think her IQ got any lower. Because she has straight As.” Many states already prohibit lead shot while hunting waterfowl, and California prohibits lead projectiles for big game hunting in an area where endangered California condors reside.

The Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries encourages the use of non-lead ammunition.

Metro Creative

Some sportsmen are concerned lead-free alternatives are inferior to their lead-based counterparts.

“There is no lead-free ammunition out there that we can use for our shooters,” said marksman coach and Tacoma resident Zachary Duncan. “It’s expensive, inaccurate and hard-toget.”

Matt Cieslar, owner of Talos Tactical in West Richland, said although he sees no significant differences in performance between lead and non-lead rounds, non-lead munitions cost significantly more — twice as much in some cases — than lead options.

John Colman, owner of Colman Fishing Supply in Auburn, said non-lead sinkers are more than double the price of their lead equivalents. On Cabela’s website, eight of 10 non-lead sinkers listed for sale are under $10.

“Most people have not wanted to spend extra money for alternatives,” Colman said.

Any regulation that would restrict access to lead ammunition would target shooters in the lowest income bracket, said Cieslar.

At a firing range, where so many things can go wrong, lead ammunition is the least concern for Cieslar, even when his children were at the range.

“That would be about the last thing I’m worried about it,” Cieslar said in a telephone interview. “I don’t think I’d be worried about it.”

Cieslar said he’s much more worried about the quality of the range, safety procedures and the quality of coaches.

“I think it’s one of those things where the industry is policing itself pretty well,” Cieslar said.

Pollet still thinks more needs to be done.

“No one thinks about the fact that we’re causing very significant exposure to lead,” Pollet said. “And it’s totally avoidable.”
