February 4th, 2019
The Kittitas Valley Rifle and Pistol Club is a local club that has since 1947 dedicated
itself and facility to the indoor shooting interests. The official Bylaws of the KVRPC
clearly state, "The Club shall not discriminate on the basis of sex, sexual orientation,
race,color, ethnicity, disability, religion or national origin."The object of the Club is
also clearly stated in the KVRPC Bylaws and is as follows"The object of this
organization shall be the encouragement of organized shooting sports among
residents of our community with a view toward better knowledge on the part of the
citizens of our community in the safe handling and proper care of firearms,and the
development of those characteristics of honesty, good fellowship, self discipline and
self reliance that are the essentials of good sportsmanship and the foundation of
true patriotism". The KVRPC Pledge binds all members of the KVRPC at the time of
joining the Club,"I certify that I am not a member of any organization which has as a
part of its program,any attempt to overthrow the government of the United States
or any of its political subdivisions by force or crime of violence, and if admitted to
membership,I will faithfully fulfill the obligations of good sportsmanship and good
citizenship".
The KVRPC is not directly or indirectly aligned with any political party. However the
KVRPC is wholly committed to the Second Amendment of the United States
Constitution and to Article 1 Section 24 of the Washington State Constitution. The
KVRPC also categorically denies the right of any politician of the State of Washington
or the United States the right to subvert the intent of the Second Amendment of the
United States Constitution or Article 1 Section 24 of the Washington State
Constitution by any legislative means whatsoever. In so doing the KVRPC will
support the efforts of local citizens to make Kittitas County a Sanctuary County for
the preservation of those freedoms that support the legal use of firearms by the
citizens of Kittitas County.
