Grays Harbor County Sheriff Rick Scott says he’s not enforcing the state’s new gun restriction initiative in its current state,according to a press release.

The new initiative, I-1639, raises the minimum age to purchase semi-automatic rifles from 18 to 21, calls for enhanced background checks, and introduces new storage requirements for gunowners.

“Until the legality of I-1639 is resolved, I have instructed my deputies to take no enforcement action as it pertains to I-1639,” Scott wrote in the release. “Deputies will document such matters. However, they will take no enforcement action. Nor will we pro-actively initiate investigations relative to I-1639.”

Scott added that he has discussed the concerns brought to him by citizens with fellow law enforcement partners in Grays Harbor County and members of the Washington Association of Sheriffs and Chiefs.
