Some gun stores staying open despite Washington's stay-at-home order

Unlike grocery stores and pharmacies, Gov. Jay Inslee’s list of essential businesses that are allowed to stay open while the state’s “Stay Home, Stay Healthy” order is in effect does not include firearm dealers.

However, some gun stores in the Puget Sound area didn't close to customers despite the order that aims to slow the spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19) in Washington state.

In Bellevue, Wade’s Eastside Guns posted on its website that the store is not closing.

“We are still open for business. As far as the state and all of us are concerned, your right to the protection of yourself, your family, and others is an essential need and a constitutional right,” the top of the store’s website reads.

essential list. I know one of them, Hobby Lobby, was deliberately defying the order. We'll see just how tough the cops get.
