Gig Harbor to regulate gun ranges
SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER STAFF
GIG HARBOR -- Come tomorrow, the city of Gig Harbor will be the first city in the state to regulate its gun ranges.
The City Council voted Feb. 10 to pass a gun-range ordinance.
The ordinance requires gun ranges to apply for a license and comply with opening and closing hours that the city mandates. The city can also establish safety rules.
Only one range exists in Gig Harbor: the Sportsman Club, at 9721 Burnham Drive N.W. The club is open from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays.
The ordinance sets range hours as follows: 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays; 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays; and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday. On Saturday, ranges can be open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. to rifle or pistol activities only. No shotgun use is allowed on Saturdays.
The 600-member Sportsman Club has three months to apply for its license.
