Greeley County board adopts 'Second Amendment Sanctuary' resolution
Summary
The Board approved Resolution 2021-2 declaring support for Second Amendment rights and affirming support for the elected sheriff to 'defend' constitutional rights; the vote was unanimous.
The Greeley County Board of Commissioners approved Resolution 2021-2 declaring the county a 'Second Amendment Sanctuary' and affirming support for the elected sheriff’s discretion in exercising constitutional duties.
The resolution states the county will "stand and defend the rights and liberties of all Greeley County citizens, which are guaranteed by the United States and Nebraska Constitutions" and affirms support for the county sheriff. The board adopted the resolution by roll call with all three commissioners voting yes.
The minutes record no subsequent policy changes or enforcement actions tied to the resolution; it functions as a county-level policy statement and expression of support for the sheriff’s office rather than a change in county statute or law.
The county later handled other policy and budget items separately, including ARPA fund setup and budget hearings.
