Violating stay-home orders can mean jail, fines in newly locked-down America
What sort of punishment is each city or state enforcing for violating their stay at home orders?

I do have to keep laughing when I see these people threaten jail for those who tell them to pound sand since they are also wanting to kick people out of the jails. So far I have yet to see any real news of anyone being arrested. I suspect the people in power are hoping the threat will make people do as told. It will come down to how long till they see mass refusal to cooperate. Last couple days when I drove home from work the traffic was close to the days before this started as to how heavy it was. Looks like a lot of people are already deciding to ignore the orders here.
Pastor Tony Spell, head of Life Tabernacle Church in Central, carried on with a scheduled service Tuesday despite being issued a misdemeanor summons for ignoring a state-wide order barring large gatherings just hours earlier, police say. Authorities charged Spell with six counts of rule violations — one for each of the six services he's held at his Central campus these last two weeks.
Those cited will make some interesting court cases if they chose to fight this. Will be fun to see this play out. WA has been under a stay home order for a while but so far I am not seeing anyone here being arrested. I doubt I will see any.There have been some arrests in other states...............

I find it strange that the 2AF hasn't brought suit against Jerkoff Jay yet. They've already threatened and/or sued PA, NJ, DE, PDRK, NOLA and yet, haven't really done much in their home state. My hope is that the 2AF will soon announce either a lawsuit or a change in WA's essential list.

There are complex legal hurdles to files a lawsuit in federal court. The attorneys and I have been discussing this for 4 weeks. SAF has approved filing the suit, its drafted, its even been floated past the AGs office. That's why they haven't come out an explicitly said firearms sales must stop. Trust me, there is a ton of desire to file, but it needs to be done correctly, otherwise it's showboating and established bad case law on a 2A issue. Go slow and win, don't try to be the first loser!
Is Sporting Systems open for business now?
Thanks for the update, and well said--too many of our brethren only have the attention span for a boxing match, and don't understand or appreciate how important meticulous, time-taking planning is to getting a final Checkmate.There are complex legal hurdles to files a lawsuit in federal court.

The situation could get more contentious. The Bellevue-based Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) is prepared to file suit against Inslee if gun stores are forced to close, according to the organization's founder, Alan Gottlieb.
"Gun stores are still open and the state is doing the background check for sales and transfers," wrote Gottlieb. "As soon as it is ripe we will file. Plaintiffs and complaint are ready!"

I corresponded with SAF yesterday, and I'll characterize their response as "chomping at the bit" but they didn't provide details. Now, I see an article on Seattle Times which provides additional insight Some Washington gun dealers keeping stores open, defying Inslee's order amid coronavirus outbreak It looks like dealers are open and daring Inslee and Ferguson to attempt a closure enforcement action.
