Default Berks County Sheriff Barry J. Jozwiak against effort to limit handgun sales!

Barry J. Jozwiak tells lawmakers that people should be able to buy as many pistols as they want, and shouldn’t be punished for failing to report gun thefts and losses.

Heres the article:

http://www.readingeagle.com/article.aspx?id=26350


It might also be a good idea to email him with a message of support, encouragement and thanks. Heres his email:


sheriff@countyofberks.com


I mentioned the following in another post:

It might even be a good idea for those of you not living in the Berks County Region to email your own sheriff/mayor/representative with the link to the "Sheriff Jozwiak article" and Representative Cox's statement saying that you expect that they should support gun ownership rights in your county in the same way that Jozwiak and Cox do for Berks County. Thanks

Default Re: Berks County Sheriff Barry J. Jozwiak against effort to limit handgun sales!

And dont forget the positive comments by State Rep Jim Cox!

State Rep. Jim Cox, a Spring Township Republican, said he would not support the one-handgun-per-month legislation because it chips away at gun owners’ rights and could lead to more drastic restrictions.

“I want people to have the sheer, unadulterated ability to defend themselves,” Cox said. “If they want to go out and buy 20 weapons to protect themselves because there has been a crime wave in their neighborhood, I don’t want to restrict them.”

This is great! I respect the fact that Sheriff Jozwiak and Rep. Cox went into the Lion's Den on behalf of all supporters of the RKBA.

They should be applauded for their efforts!

I will be contacting both of their offices to thank them for standing up for the rights of all Pennsylvanians. I would recommend that my fellow Berks county residents do the same. When elected officials show that they respect their constituency we need to let them know.

Just emailed both to say thank you,

Important to show there is support for public officials who are on our side.
Great idea about sending story to other local officials too.
