Collin County Sheriff Won't Enforce Unconstitutional Gun Laws
http://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/Collin ... 21.html?dr" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
In light of recent events I feel I need to make a public statement of my views on this subject. As the Sheriff of Collin County, Texas, I have for the past 28 years served to protect and keep safe all citizens of our county, recognizing the trust placed in me with this profoundly important responsibility.
Unfortunately, the recent surge in the numbers of innocent victims who have died at the hands of unstable criminals has prompted politicians in Washington to seek to pass laws that would seriously erode the constitutional rights of innocent and law abiding citizens.
Neither I, nor any of my deputies, will participate in the enforcement of laws that violate our precious constitutional rights, including our Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms.
As long as I remain Sheriff of Collin County, I will not participate in the actions of misguided politicians who seek to impede our citizen’s right to all of the privileges afforded by our Constitution.
Respectfully,
Terry G. Box
Sheriff, Collin County Texas

I kinda figured this went without saying in TX, but maybe I need to re-evaluate my assumptions in light of the comments made by that lost cause of a Sheriff or Chief of Police or whatever in Houston. In any case, Mr Box probably just ensured that I'll vote for him in the next election.

Make sure to contact Sheriff Box if you live in CC and tell him you support his stance. Those in other counties, I don't think it would hurt to write your sheriff and ask his stance.

I wrote Sheriff Box a brief email thanking him for his stand for our rights

Great to see, I have written the Tarrant county sheriffs office to see if I can get an official statement from them
