Ex-PH2 sends us a link to the Effingham Daily News<\/a> which reports that the Effingham County, Illinois Board is contemplating local legislation that would make the county a sanctuary for gun owners.<\/p>\n

[Effingham County State’s Attorney Bryan] Kibler explained the goal is to protect those people affected by future state legislation by prohibiting the county from enforcing “unconstitutional actions.” He drew a parallel with actions in other fields.<\/p>\n

“If you can be a sanctuary county for undocumented immigrants, why can’t you be one for firearms?” Kibler said.<\/p>\n

He explained that the section, like the rest of the resolution, is largely symbolic.<\/p>\n

“I was in a really surly mood when they sent that to me,” said Kibler.<\/p>\n

The legislative committee voted 8-1 on Monday to advance the resolution to the full county board. Board Member Karen Luchtefeld voted no, saying she hadn’t had enough time to review the resolution.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re southern Illinois people,\u201d [Lew] Slater said. \u201cWe come from all walks of life and it seems like we get a lot of laws crammed down on us and they don\u2019t appear to be very well thought out.\u201d<\/p>\n

And that\u2019s where some members of the Effingham County Board want to step in.<\/p>\n

\u201cEffingham County is a gun-friendly county,\u201d said vice chairman David Campbell.<\/p>\n

Campbell proposed a resolution to make Effingham County a sanctuary county \u2014 not for undocumented immigrants \u2014 but for gun owners.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re standing with the Second Amendment firmly and we\u2019re backing the Constitution,\u201d Campbell said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
