15.17.010 Purpose.

Clallam County is a jurisdiction where hunting, fishing and other outdoor recreational pursuits are popular and an integral part of our culture and economy. Shooting is an important component of outdoor recreation in Clallam County. Hunting and target rifles have been carried responsibly and openly by our citizens on rifle racks for many years and the Commissioners find no reason why this practice should not continue. RCW 9.41.050 has been amended by Laws of 1994, First Special Session, Chapter 7, adding a subsection (4) to prohibit the carrying of rifles openly in a vehicle, which would end this common practice. A new subsection (6) of RCW 9.41.050 empowers the Clallam County Commissioners to exempt Clallam County from the prohibition set forth in RCW 9.41.050(4).

15.17.020 Exemption from RCW 9.41.050(4).

The jurisdiction of Clallam County is and shall be exempt from the prohibitions set forth in RCW 9.41.050(4) as presently enacted and as may be hereafter modified or recodified. This exemption is enacted pursuant to RCW 9.41.050(6).

15.17.030 Effective date.

This chapter shall be effective ten (10) days after approval by the Board of Commissioners.
