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).
