Josh Farley is a reporter for the Kitsap Sun newspaper in Bremerton WA. He wrote a piece on the Kitsap Rifle and Revolver Club that seemed unbiased, or at least it was not a hit piece on gun owners like I frequently see elsewhere.
I asked if he wanted to write a story about how the club is being sued in part over noise complaints but is prohibited by law from doing anything to reduce the noise, other than stop shooting. He is familiar with the lawsuit against the club, but he was not aware of the legal problems associated with reducing noise.
He is interested in the story. I told him how I built an enclosure to reduce the noise of high powered rifles and Russ Hauge's (Kitsap County Prosecuting Attorney) opinion that it would be illegal to use due to the broad nature of RCW 9.41.250(c). I also described Attorney General McKenna's refusal to issue a formal opinion on what devices that reduce gunfire noise were legal (or illegal) to use in WA.
Anyone have any ideas on what to contribute to the story? Thanks.
