California's Pro-Gun Sheriffs Take a Stand (Update)
Gun Owners of California ^ | 1/22/2013

Posted on 01/23/2013 1:41:16 AM PST by GVnana

We are not alone in this fight! While California is known across the country as being on the forefront of liberal politics, we have twelve sheriffs (so far), who decided it was time they tell the country,and Vice President Biden, that they do not agree with the anti-gun majority.

Maybe it comes as a shock to the more liberal parts of the state, that there are so many sheriffs who do not stand with the majority. And we hope it does. For too long, we've heard the sheriffs from California's major cities (San Francisco, Los Angeles, etc), act as if they speak for all of law enforcement, in support of stricter gun control laws. Well, we are proud of the twelve sheriffs who have decided they've had enough! They are taking their oaths to support and defend the Constitution to heart. We can't thank them enough for their bravery and dedication to protecting the safety and rights of their citizens, while at the same time, continuing to defend the Constitution.

If your Sheriff is on this list, send them your thanks and support. If your Sheriff's name is not on this list, call him or her and ask them to join this brave group of Sheriffs who are standing by their oaths:

Del Norte County Sheriff - Dean Wilson

El Dorado County Sheriff - John D'Agostini

Fresno County Sheriff - Margaret Mims

Humboldt County Sheriff - Mike Downey

Lassen County Sheriff - Dean Growden

Mendocino County Sheriff - Thomas Allman

Modoc County Sheriff - Mike Poindexter

Plumas County Sheriff - Greg Hagwood

Shasta County Sheriff - Tom Bosenko

Siskiyou County Sheriff - Jon Lopey

Stanislaus County Sheriff - Adam Christianson

Tehama County Sheriff - David Hencraft

In fighting for you and your rights, these Sheriffs are upholding the Constitution as it was intended by our Founding Fathers.

Bookmarking for places to stay and spend during our annual Westward visit. I love the West Coast. We just need to outnumber them and take it back!

But is it to late how many of these same sheriffs have been enforcing the unconstitutional CA. gun laws. Better late then never I guess

Yeah, those sheriffs are all in Northern/Eastern CA counties. Of course.
