Judge: “Edmonds Gun Law ‘Ripe for Determination'”

SNOHOMISH COUNTY JUDGE SAYS LAWSUIT v. EDMONDS GUN LAW ‘RIPE FOR DETERMINATION’

BELLEVUE, WA – A Snohomish County Superior Court judge will allow a lawsuit challenging a so-called “safe storage” ordinance in the City of Edmonds to proceed, ruling that all plaintiffs in the case have standing to challenge the ordinance as a violation of Washington State’s 35-year-old preemption law that placed sole authority for firearms regulation in the hands of the Legislature.

The case is brought by the Second Amendment Foundation, National Rifle Association and two private citizens, Brett Bass and Swan Seaburg. Judge Anita L. Farris denied a motion by the City to dismiss the case, noting that “the Plaintiff’s claim that the ordinance is preempted by state statute is ripe for determination.”

Edmonds adopted a “safe storage” requirement last year, which violates the preemption statute. SAF and NRA promptly filed suit with the two private citizens.

Judge Farris has done what King County Superior Court Judge Barbara Linde would not do when she dismissed a similar lawsuit against the City of Seattle on technical grounds after the city argued that the plaintiffs lacked standing to sue. SAF and NRA have appealed her ruling. Seattle has adopted a “safe storage” requirement, possibly emboldened to challenge state preemption because it also adopted a controversial “gun violence tax” in 2015 that the State Supreme Court allowed to stand.

Arizona Hunters Victorious in Court

MISSOULA, Mont
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in favor of hunters on a game retrieval program in the Kaibab National Forest of northern Arizona. Environmental groups appealed a previous ruling by the Arizona U.S. District Court, which they also lost.

“This is a big win for hunters,” said Kyle Weaver, Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation president and CEO. “Hunters play an important role in helping wildlife officials effectively manage the populations of elk and other wildlife. This ruling helps make that more of a reality.”

In cooperation with the Arizona Game and Fish Department, three districts in the Kaibab National Forest previously issued a travel management rule allowing hunters to leave designated routs up to one mile but only to retrieve game and not to scout, hunt or for any other reason. The goal of the program is to assist with timely retrieval of harvested bison while supporting effective herd management practices. In certain circumstances, retrieval of large game like bison or elk by motorized methods mitigates potential spoiling of quality protein.

Environmentalists unsuccessfully argued the rule would lead to widespread damage to the forest, but the three-judge court ruled any impacts on the environment “did not raise substantial concerns.”

A previous chairman of the Arizona Game and Fish Commission noted it was interesting that environmental groups targeted hunters but did not challenge other legitimate off-highway vehicle use in the forest. He suggested they filed the lawsuit “more out of opposition to hunting than true concern for our natural resources.”

“This litigation is the latest example of environmentalists not recognizing the vital role hunting plays in wildlife management,” added Weaver. Read more

Michigan: DNR Reports Moose Survey Results

DNR reports moose survey results to Michigan Natural Resources Commission

After this winter’s moose survey, wildlife biologists said the western Upper Peninsula moose population is growing at a long-term average of about 2 percent each year, with an estimated 509 animals living in that part of the state.

Michigan Natural Resources Wildlife Division Chief Russ Mason reported the survey results Thursday to the Michigan Natural Resources Commission at a regular NRC meeting at the Shanty Creek Resort in Bellaire.

“The growth rate for this moose population is low, but remains positive,” Mason said. “Moose are continuing to maintain a foothold in the western Upper Peninsula, continuing to further extend the lineage of a population airlifted to the area from Canada in the mid-1980s.” Read more

Michigan: DNR Conservation Officers Help Nab Child Abduction Suspects

DNR conservation officers play vital role in capture of child abduction suspects in Chippewa County

Michigan Department of Natural Resources conservation officers located a 5-year-old boy who was abducted Wednesday night, helping to arrest the suspected kidnappers as they tried to flee with the youth across the ice of Whitefish Bay to Canada.

The incident began about 7:15 p.m. Wednesday, when the Chippewa County Sheriff’s Office received a report of a domestic dispute at a residence that involved a stabbing.

Investigators went to the home and began to piece together the details of what had happened.

George Stephen Cunningham, 53 – who is the boy’s biological father and a registered sex offender on a tether – and 68-year-old Jon Scott Stygler had gone to the house armed with knives, chemical spray and blunt objects.

The residence is located on Whitefish Road in Paradise, in the northeast corner of the Upper Peninsula. The boy was reported to be at the home with his aunt, a man and three other children.

Police said Cunningham and Stygler bound and gagged a woman outside the home, and then placed her in a parked vehicle. The two men then went inside, spraying the occupants with chemical spray, taping their mouths shut with duct tape and binding them using zip ties. Read more
