A. No shooting sports facility shall operate without a license issued pursuant to this chapter; provided, that shooting sports facilities operating on the effective date of the ordinance codified in this chapter that have submitted required license applications before the date required herein may continue to operate without a city of Gig Harbor shooting sports facility license pending approval or denial of the license application. However, all such operation shall be conducted in compliance with this chapter and all applicable law. Such operation shall cease upon denial of the license application and if appealed, as provided by law.

B. If a shooting sports facility operating under a valid Pierce County shooting sports facility permit or license is annexed to the city of Gig Harbor, it may continue to operate, only if an application for a city license is submitted to the city as provided above. Once annexed, the shooting sports facility shall operate in compliance with this chapter and all applicable law. (Ord. 926 § 1, 2003).
