    Lightbulb Your local sheriff and 2A sanctuary counties

    What with several states whose county sheriffs have declared their counties 2A Santuary counties (thank you dems for teaching us that), how would we be able to start this in our state? It would seem that battlelines are being drawn with rapidity and think our window for action is sliding closed.

    Given that 66 of the 67 county sheriffs (and their departments) don't actually have police powers, I don't think it really matters. They're not going to be the ones kicking down your door and shooting your dog.

    I appreciate what they're trying to do, but to accept sanctuary status for guns in a particular place means you're essentially giving in to tyranny in other places. The charlatans in "power" need to hear a resounding NO! from all places, not just those where local government is smart enough to say what shouldn't need saying at all. Any gun control is an infringement of a god given right.

    Having played dovetail for 80 years has gotten us to the precipice we are at now. It’s past time to turn things around and speak to the gun grabbers in a language they will understand. How is it it is so easy for areas to call themselves sanctuary cities and ignore laws they don’t like, but if we do in order to uphold a law, we are somehow beyond the pale? It’s time we start taking our little bites and make our own “good first step”.

    A sheriff in Pennsylvania doesn't have nearly the power of a sheriff in most other states. Closer to the bailiff in Judge Judy than the supreme law of the land.

    Yeah, but a good plan B makes sense.
    Unfortunately, as pointed out, even if some departments signed on, how could they be effective without the power to do something, or nothing?

    Most of us have to hope the PSP will ignore orders.......yeah right.

    Just as "Rules for Radicals" suggests.
    I'm all for it.
    Even if the Sheriffs don't have the power, it makes a great statement that will surely be reported in Tass and Pravda.
