The addition of a new section to Kitsap County Code Chapter 10.24, Article 3, section 2 provides a means to shut down the operation of an existing shooting range.
This is in 10.24.103 Ranges---- Permit Required
This s a lengthy read. All operators of ranges must apply for a permit to open a range, or contiune the operation of an existing range, no later than 31 Oct, 2011. An existing range , having made application for the permit, can continue operating until 31 Dec 2011 while waiting for the permit to be issued. If the permit is not issued, the range cannot operate.
This entire thing comes from residents who purchased property and / or moved into housing adjacent to Kitsap Rifle and Revolver Club, knowing the range was there and had been in operation for 70+ years. The county has been trying to get the land the range is located upon for several years, and has been unsuccessful. Soooo..use the provisions of Article XI Section 11 of the Washington State Constitution (Public health and safety) to back door the range acquisition. But to avoid charges of being descriminating, this will effect ALL ranges in Kitsap County.
