We're the Only Ones Shuttering Enough

In a time of quarantines and stay-at-home orders, should a gun store be considered an “essential business?” That’s the debate in Alameda County as sheriff’s deputies order shut gun stores that continue to defy the shelter-in-place order. For the past week, the sheriff’s office has repeatedly told Solar Tactical in Castro Valley to shut down and, on Friday, the store’s owner finally closed up shop after the district attorney threatened him with prosecution.

Imagine that.

"Castro Valley." That's almost funny.

I think the disconnect is the "necessary to the security of a FREE State" qualifier...

Tell me again how most police support the Second Amendment...

It’s all good. Now we have somebody with standing they can’t deny. Now SAF can come out to play. What fun the county will have discovering that courtrooms are still “essential services.”

Apparently the Sheriff would like the place name to be an oxymoron:

"castra noun

castle, fortress, fort, fortified place, military camp"

Perhaps Happy Valley would be prefrered? If he persists, I do not believe that the populace would be very happy, either.
