Second Amendment sanctuary resolution sent back for edits after citizen requests
Summary
Citizens urged the Board to adopt a Second Amendment sanctuary resolution; the county attorney reported suggested edits from the public (including language barring use of public funds to enforce perceived infringements) and the board voted to postpone and revise the resolution before taking final action.
A proposed county resolution reaffirming support for Second Amendment rights drew public support and suggested edits at the Jan. 13 meeting.
Jim Quest told the board he "strongly encourages passage on a unanimous vote" and urged clear language that public money should not be used to enforce laws perceived as infringing on gun rights. The county attorney read two substantive citizen suggestions and grammatical edits, including adding a clause on the use of public funds.
After discussing edits, a board member moved to send the resolution back to staff for revision and to bring the edited version to a future meeting. The motion to postpone was seconded and adopted by roll call to allow staff to incorporate citizen input and for the attorney to republish the corrected draft before seeking a final vote.
