Agreed!

“I made a vow and a commitment that as long as I’m the sheriff of this county I will not allow the federal government to come in here and strip my law-abiding citizens of the right to bear arms,” Sheriff Mike Lewis of Wicomico County, Maryland, told NBC News. “If they attempt to do that it will be an all-out civil war. Because I will stand toe-to-toe with my people.”

Now there's a sheriff who knows exactly who he works for.

We need a lot more like him!

....unfortunately, in urban/suburban MD, the duties of the sheriff have been assumed by the modern PD's. The PD "Chief" is appointed by the County Executive (who is beholden to the Democratic Party).

The creation of the Police Departments has removed the political independence of the Sheriff and put the PD under the direct control of a political party.

And we all thought that such things only occurred in the other side of the Iron Curtain, eh?

Baltimore county as well.

That self serving "chief" Johnson that we have seen parade in front of congress is nothing to be respected.

Finally! I feel like I must be in the Twilight Zone.....

We had a good candidate running for sheriff here in Carroll (Chris Fiora), who promised to follow the constitution. Unfortunately he did not prevail.

Not so in Garrett County, Sheriff Corley chooses not to enforce FSA 2013.

Isn't the average citizen still held accountable to the law despite what the sheriff does? If you go to a local dealer to buy a pistol you would still be required by that dealer to provide your HQL you were required to have one, correct?

I'm just trying to understand the benefits the residents of a county have where their sheriff ignores FSA 2013 compared to a county where they sheriff follows it.

Well, if you run into a Sheriff's deputy in Garrett County, and "might be in violation of FSA2103", you might not have a problem. However, if the same situation occurred with MSP or DNR, your situation could be different. Just because.........Sheriff Corley said he's not doing it. 'Nuff said.

It may very well be, if the northern half is enough to outnumber the Pulaski Hwy corridor.

He never publicly gave his opinion. My thoughts: he's spineless and will drift whichever way the (democratic) wind blows him.

Vote for Gahler in November!

Some LE common sense is better than none. But MSP is still MSP , and in most conties w/o a PD , they also usually have a porptional substantial presence.

Now a States Atty who vows to not follow FSA2013 would be somthing of real importance.

Bateman of AA, asked his support during SB281 and received BS emails from him. He said " he will follow the law, no matter what ". For sure he is a political hack.

If you live in a county where the Sheriff refuses to enforce the Act and you somehow come into contact with one of his deputies (traffic stop, call for service etc) you won't be arrested for a violation of the act absent other factors - i.e. using the weapon to commit a crime. If you live in a county where the Sheriff enforces the Act you will be arrested or cited for each and every violation.

In short, laws mean nothing without an enforcement mechanism. If the Police refuse to make arrests and issue citations then the law doesn't exist for all practical purposes.
