An increasing number of sheriffs are rising to resist federal
overreach in their counties. About 100 of them met in mid-September at
the National Press Club in Washington, DC.
The gathering was
organized by the Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association
-- a group that was formed by former Sheriff Richard Mack. It was a
time of mutual encouragement, where several sheriffs shared their
experiences in resisting federal overreach.
Sheriff Mike Lewis of
Wycomico County, Maryland was one of the sheriffs in attendance. He got
national attention recently for saying that the feds better not try
grabbing guns in his county.
“I can tell you this,” Lewis said, “if they attempt to do that, it will be an all-out civil war. No question about it.”
Another
attendee, Sheriff Denny Peyman of Jackson County, Kentucky, was equally
blunt. “My office will not comply with any federal action which
violates the United States Constitution or the Kentucky Constitution
which I swore to uphold.”
Gun Owners of America presented
Sheriff Peyman with the “Nullifier of the Year” award last year because
of his strong commitment to defend the Constitution -- and the Second
Amendment in particular.
