EDMONDS The city of Edmonds lost another legal battle this week in its effort to enforce a statute telling residents how to store their guns.
A three-judge state appeals panel ruled unanimously that the city ordinance “regardless of its arguable benefits to public safety” is “unambiguously” pre-empted by state law and provisions of Initiative 1639, a gun safety measure passed by voters in November 2018, The Daily Herald reported.
“My reaction is one of relief,” said Brett Bass, one of three residents who challenged the law with help from the National Rifle Association and the Bellevue-based Second Amendment Foundation.
