Logan County Commission Declares 2nd Amendment Sanctuary

2/14/2020

The Logan County Commissioners officially declared the historic county to be Oklahoma's 2nd Amendment Sanctuary. The meeting took place in Guthrie, the birthplace of Oklahoma statehood and the first capitol.
Early Wednesday morning, Sheriff Damon Devereaux made a unilateral proclamation of solidarity with the constitution on matters of self defence, including the right to keep & bear arms. Sheriff devereaux publicly asked his county commissioners to codify the policy. Commissioner Marven Goodman immediately expanded on Devereaux's proclamation and drafted a resolution in even greater detail. The item was inserted in the agenda for Friday morning.
Chairman Monty Piearcy said the county has received quite a bit of calls in this topic. At the Friday meeting, Sheriff Devereaux was first to be called to speak on the issue of his own proclamation. Commissioner Goodman then read his prepared motion. Commissioner Mike Pearson also gave full support in his own extended remarks. The vote was unanimous.

Later, the commission received comments from citizens. OK2A President, Don Spencer (himself a longtime Logan County resident) praised the commissioners for their constitutional fidelity. Commissioner Pearson said the resolution is intended to send a message to both OKC and Washington, DC. the county will not let any of their resources be used by any entity in a manner that improperly deprives any person their constitutional rights. Since Wednesday, 4 other county sheriffs (Wayne McKinney in Stephens, Johnny Christian in Bryan, Tim Turner in Haskell, & Chris West in Canadian) as well as DA Chuck Sullivan; have also made proclamations, using Devereaux's text as a template.
Just last fall, OKC citizen journalist, Adam Modisette was arrested by nearby Oklahoma County deputies, for a warrant related to what is now lawful constitutional carry of a handgun.
Logan County now says such court orders would not be honored by the sheriff's office or other Logan County assets.

"No politician 'checks off every box" in your list of issues. You have to prioritize and use personal discretion regarding every current and future issue that you can imagine. Then you have to also judge integrity & consistency. A candidate's openness to study the issues & courage to think for themselves. Then you need to review their honesty & work ethic. I respect any voter's decision, when they've informed themselves and took voting seriously." - David Van Risseghem

Sooner Politics News is a platform, not a media site. All our bloggers get their feeds promoted regardless of content. As soon as We suppress or delete even one posting, we become an endorser of whatever We didn't censor..The publisher doesn't (and could not) logically agree with all the content, so we would not expect any rational reader to agree, either. What we do hope, is that readers will think for themselves, and at least be better informed of the issues, events, and values that our citizen journalists work hard to provide for free.. We automate much of the tasks so that our sources' content gets as much exposure as possible. We encourage constructive discussion & debate. The solution is more free speech, not less.
