10:00 a.m. —10:15 a.m. Commissioners Office Safety Meeting
10:30 a.m. —10:45 a.m. Citizen Public Comment Period
Joseph Carter attended today to discuss Initiative 1-1639: changes to gun ownership and
purchase requirements. Mr. Carter believes it violates the constitution. He read into the record
a letter he submitted.
Tom Jones, Sheriff, stated he is in agreement with Mr. Carter. He stated publicly this morning
that until the constitutional validity is settled in federal court, he has informed his staff that they
will not be enforcing any parts of this measure. If that occurs, he will be working closely with
the Prosecuting Attorney's Office to determine the next course of action.
Commissioner Taylor stated he supports the Sheriff in his decision (he is not speaking for the
other Commissioners).
Cheryl Schweizer, Reporter for the Columbia Basin Herald, asked why the Sheriff put out a
"public" statement. Sheriff Jones stated this was passed by the public and expecting Law
enforcement to enforce this. Law suits were filed and questioning the constitutional validity of
this measure. They are coming out publicly to not enforce it. Grant County is a huge 2nd
Amendment County and takes the right to bear arms seriously. To infringe on this in any way is
why he is coming out against the initiative.
TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 2019
The Grant County Commissioners session began at 8:45 a.m. with Commissioners Taylor and Stevens in
attendance. Commissioner Carter was at the Washington State Farm Bureau Meeting with Legislators
