Washington State Gun Stores Vow To Stay Open Despite Orders To Shutdown During Coronavirus Pandemic

LYNNWOOD, WA - APRIL 02: Tiffany Teasdale, owner of Lynnwood Gun, stands in front of mostly empty gun racks on April 2, 2020 in Lynnwood, Washington. Washington State Governor Jay Inslee did not list gun stores as essential businesses that can stay open in his Stay-at-Home order to prevent the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19). However, Teasdale and some other gun retail shops say they are following orders by President Trump and state Republicans who advise that the firearms industry can remain open. Second Amendment gun rights advocacy groups are challenging governors orders around the country to remain open. (Photo by Karen Ducey/Getty Images)
