Legislator to OK sheriffs: "Disarm or Leave" - Sheriffs: "See ya"
http://www.bizpacreview.com/2014/03/...ve-guns-106703
Just like they do every year, a contingent of county sheriffs met at Oklahoma’s state capitol building to meet with lawmakers and lobby for the things they need. Unlike before, however, they were asked to check in their sidearms after a senator complained Tuesday. So they left, according to Wagoner county sheriff Bob Colbert .
“Everybody in that building knew who we were,” Colbert told Tulsa ABC affiliate KTUL. He was asked to remove his weapon, as were the other sheriffs in the group.
“One of the senators, who they wouldn’t tell us, complained because we were armed in the building,” he said.
The choice came down to removing their weapons or removing themselves.
“So we all packed up and left,” he said, adding,. “We’re the people that protect these people.”Last edited by Silence Dogood; March 18th, 2014 at 06:37 AM.
