Gun store owner denies offering range passes to get signatures on Polis recall petition (VIDEO)
The Colorado Secretary of State’s Office is reviewing a number of complaints it received after a Facebook post circulated that some thought implied a Douglas County firearms store was offering two free passes to its gun range in exchange for signatures on a petition to recall Gov. Jared Polis.
Josh Barton, the co-owner of Douglas County Firearms, said they are not offering free passes or incentives for signing the petition, and he clarified the Facebook post after he realized it was misleading.
Barton said the range always offers free passes to first-time visitors. There is a copy of the recall petition on the property for people to sign.
It is prohibited to offer anything of value in exchange for a signature on a petition, according to the Colorado Secretary of State’s Office. Being found guilty of offering or accepting a bribe to sign a petition or any other election paper is a misdemeanor.
