A new coalition of law-enforcement officials and liberty-minded organizations led by former Arizona Sheriff Richard Mack is joining forces to defend freedom, with goals that include supporting the hundreds of constitutional sheriffs across America who promise to defend the rights of their constituents from the Obama administration’s lawless assault on the Constitution. As one of its primary projects, the alliance is sending letters to every sheriff in the United States to find out and publicize where they stand on the Second Amendment.

Another key aim of the coalition is to recruit more chief law-enforcement officers — particularly sheriffs, but state and local officials as well — to defend Americans’ unalienable gun rights. As of early February, close to 300 county sheriffs from all over the country and at least six state sheriff associations had publicly announced their intentions to protect the Second Amendment in their respective jurisdictions. The numbers are growing daily; and members and leaders of the new coalition hope to keep that trend accelerating.

“The purpose of this coalition is to simply show the recipients of the letter, our nation's sheriffs, that there are many groups sponsoring this movement and many people wanting information from their sheriffs regarding their commitment to the Constitution,” explained Sheriff Mack, who helped win a major victory in the Supreme Court against unconstitutional federal gun control and statutes purporting to force sheriffs to comply with federal demands. He also founded the Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association (CSPOA), which is helping organize and lead the new coalition.

Ok. I just sent an email to my local Sheriff inquiring what his position is on citizen 2nd Amendment rights and a link to the current list on the CSPOA website. We’ll see if he bothers to reply.

Once again Marylanders need to pay attentio to what is going on in Annapolis tomorrow.

O’Malley is trying to screw us again with an abhorrent gun law.

Obama decided he would be in Annapolis tomorrow too.

I don’t ever recall his being in Annapolis before, but since there is a rally there tomorrow against O’Malleys gun bill he decided to go and have his Secret Service Fudge up all the roads coming in and going out.
