Police Chief Loren Culp of Republic, Washington, says
the gun controls in the newly passed Initiative 1639
will not be enforced in his county.
Chief Culp reacted to the passage of I-1639 by reminding Republic residents that the Second Amendment will reign supreme under his leadership:
Republic Police WA
I’ve talked with quite a few concerned citizens today so let me clear something up.
I’ve taken 3 public oaths, one in the US
Army and Two as a police officer. All of them included upholding and
defending the Constitution of the United States of America.
The second amendment says the right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.
As long as I am Chief of Police, no
Republic Police Officer will infringe on a citizens right to keep and
Bear Arms, PERIOD! – Chief Culp
In an interview with KXLY, Culp added,
“We took an oath to uphold and defend the constitution of the United
States and the constitution of the State of Washington, and [I-1639]
completely flies in the face of both the U.S. and state constitution.”
Culp said he believes I-1639 will “eventually … be overturned in the
courts.” Until then, he made clear, the controls of the initiative will
not be enforced in Republic, Washington.
