On Tuesday January 14, 2020 the Lawrence Fiscal Court held a special session which started out with prayer led by John Scaggs. The Pledge of Allegiance was said by all. The first item on the agenda was to pass a resolution to make Lawrence County a Second Amendment Sanctuary County. The vote was unanimous to approve this.
The movement in Ky. is not a actual law but a form of support of the right to “bear arms” protected by the second Amendment of The United States Constitution!
You can read more about the movement in Kentucky and many other states HERE.
The courtroom was full of Lawrence County residents there to vote for and show their support of this Second Amendment Sanctuary County status. The resolution was passed unanimously by the Lawrence County fiscal court, who are all Republicans and supporters of the 2nd amendment.
Two special guests attended the meeting. Rita Yates from Louisa, KY who is running for State Representative in the 96th district as a Republican. Her husband is Tim Yates who is very active in the community.
“I’m 100 percent in favor of the 2nd Amendment Sanctuary and 100 percent pro- life.” Mrs Yates said. Her opponent in the May Primary, Patrick Flannery of Olive Hill works as The Deputy Executive Director of Administrative Hearings. “I’m also 100 percent in support of The Second Amendments Rights and Sanctuary County status,” Flannery said. He said he is 100 percent pro- life as well.
The fiscal court meeting was held in the upstairs courtroom, presided by Judge Phillip Carter. Magistrates David Pinson, Rick Blackburn, Michael Halcomb and John Scaggs were present. Vince Doty (Assistant Judge), Crystal Osborne (Deputy Clerk) , Brad Derrifield (Assistant County Attorney), Chris Jobe (County Clerk), Mike Shapaka ( County Surveyor), Daniel Castle and Paul Wells ( Constables), and Sheriff Chuck Jackson were all present for the meeting.
Sheriff Chuck Jackson said he urges everyone to remain an active part of the community and stay in contact with their State Representatives on the issue of 2nd amendment rights.
After the first item on the agenda was finished the court had a five minute recess for those who didn’t wish to sit through the rest of the regular fiscal meeting, to leave. The next item on the agenda was to accept the treasurer’s report, approve the bills, approve minutes from the last meeting and to approve purchase of a Mack Truck for garbage disposal and gravel hauling.
This concluded the meeting.
Excellant! I knew we would have overwhelming support in LC! Now let’s flush the remaining liberal politicians down the drain next election(s).
I love to flush a liberal every morning. 🙂
Another Mack! Seriously?
Yea I agree, get a M11 machine pistol instead, I have 3 and at least 1000 rounds on any given day!
Republican propaganda! It’s just another tactic to fire up ignorant country bumpkins to vote against their own interest. This today is not even enforceable nor is it of any use, no one is trying to take anyone’s guns away. These followers of republicans have been had….yet again.
You are a liberal imbecile, OH WAIT all liberals are imbeciles!
I’d would prefer being a liberal imbecile then an idiotic republican pawn, these resolutions aren’t worth the paper they are wrote on. And who is coming after your Guns the Republican general assembly. When the Democrats were in control of the house and governorship these stupid resolutions were never needed.
Way to go Republicans!! The Democrat party is trying to take away our freedom!!
Republican propaganda. All this is, is republicans trying to cause a stir over nothing. This is t even enforceable and it’s useless. No one has ever tried to take their guns away. Classic divide and conquer politics.. the elite trying to pit the citizens against each other for personal gain
Oh, no. Nothing at all to worry about. Nice try lib……
https://www.gunpowdermagazine.com/kentucky-dems-pre-file-several-gun-control-bills-for-new-governor/
and you believe a republican controlled house and senate will pass these bills?
what you should be worried about in this country if one person every gets control of the military you might wake up one morning and find out we have a king
then that’s when they will take your guns
KAG, you need to stop, I can do you, you aren’t smart enough to post as me!
Great link Super, one of their purposed bills wants to take the open carry right, that’s always existed in KY. The SOB’s are crazy!
You need to take a glance at what that long necked baby killer is doing in VA, since dims won a majority in the state houses.
These liberals saying they aren’t trying to take our guns and that this is a way to divide . Lol when Democrats clearly stated that they wanted to take our guns and they are the ones dividing the country
This is a complete waste of time. Doesn’t mean a thing. If the federal government wants to out law guns then they will. Same as weed, cigarettes, meth, etc. If you think a county resolution will stop anything then you are the blinded one. If that is the case lets make a resolution to legalize marijuana and get the money from that. ALL this does is divide our country more and weaken our support for the government Only thing that will happen is the federal government will put in place a law that will not allow companies to manufacturer the weapons or for them to be imported into the United States which will only create a black market for them forcing the prices higher to where only the rich or drug lords can afford them.
The federal govt can try to outlaw guns as you say but that don’t make it constitutional. 1st amendment gives you freedom of religion and speech. The 2nd amendment is what ensures you keep the 1st. Yes this sanctuary 2nd amendment is more symbolic than anything else. The simple truth is nothing else is needed other than the rights given to us by God which is to protect our family’s and ourselves. Our constitution allows us to correct an out of control tyrannical govt. The day we lose our 2nd amendment rights we lose the country. Great thing lawrence county did in passing this. We need less gun laws/restrictions not more.
What are you going to do if the federal government passes it and then tells the citizens that if you do not comply your county will not be eligible for federal money. No food stamps, no medical assistance, no grants, no highway funding, no housing apartments, no heating assistance, no SSI, no earn income tax returns. Get real these solved absolutely nothing.
I wager you draw “no housing apartments, no heating assistance, no SSI, No food stamps, no medical assistance”, don’t you Jerry?,
Sell your soul to Nancy Sagosi, grow a spine, yellow back!
Don’t take away our freedom yeeeeee, yeeee. We don’t care about anything but our guns boys! To hell with the deformities and the cancers caused by all the pollution surroundin’ us. By Golly we will have our guns! Hell yeah, meth and guns boys meth and guns.
This is what your simple mind cant grasp! A meth head doesn’t (normally) own a weapon, most are convicted felons. 99% of gun violence happens in LIBERAL areas; why do ‘people’ on the south side of Chicago own full auto weapons, and why do they have a weekly murder rate that outpaces all the hillbillies on earth? Chicago has very strict gun laws, doesn’t it? What about in Vegas, liberal carries out LARGEST mass shooting in American history…EVER! What about the DC shooter, shooting at conservative law makers? DC has the strictest gun laws in America. Sandy Hook, will you remind me where that happened? Colanbine? ( not spelled correctly). I say rid this nation of liberals, not guns. Liberals are far more dangerous!
just 2 questions are you married to a liberal or have you been cuckle by a liberal
i would like to be merried too a liberal but none of them will have me
Pretty sure the sheriff is the one who couple years ago said he didn’t like the state issuing so many concealed carry licenses. Not so sure he is a supporter of our 2nd amendment rights. He is up to the old misleading just to further his agenda. Be careful in the future and don’t get fooled again.
