County Board backs Second Amendment movement
Posted: Tuesday, Jul 03, 2007 - 03:09:01 pm EDT
The Wabash County Board of Commissioners approved of a movement supporting the Second Amendment at the county board meeting Monday.
The measure is a reaction against a “restrictive” firearms legislation being introduced by Cook County legislators. Sheriff Joe Keeling and former sheriff Terry McWilliams were at the County Board meeting in support of the proposal.
Keeling mentioned that the banning of all firearms would only take guns away from the innocent citizens. He added that criminals would find a way to get their guns illegally. The proposal will be sent to Springfield to the governor.
Similar letters of support have already been signed in Brown, Hancock, Pike, Johnson, Schuyler, Randolph, White, and recently Edwards, counties. This statement shows Wabash County’s support of the second amendment and of other Southern Illinois counties.

I guess they forgot about Shelby, Greene, and Effingham. Good article otherwise, though.

).I did get to talk to a pulaski County Deputy today on the phone. It seem that Pulaski County Board has received the resolution, and according to the deputy, they want to check on a few things. He did state thst most of the people he has talked to are for the idea. He said that it will probably get passed in the next meeting or so. Also on that note, Pope County is supposed to pass the resolution this coming Tuesday, 7-10-07. I will keep you all informed of any thing further.

What if we got the county sheriffs involved with this resolution? I do know from talking to other people that there are a few sheriffs that are hoping that Illinois does get CCW. They say that would make some parts of their job easier. It may be worth a try.

I just received the following reply to an email I sent to the Effingham County Board a few days ago:
"The attached resolution passed 9-0 on June 18, 2007 at our County Board Meeting.
Joyce Worman"
The resolution was identical to the one sent to me by Molly B.

Douglas County Board will have it on the August agenda. Not assured, but the feeling is positive that it will pass!

Gene,
Seeing your letter to the editor reminded me that I had neglected to respond to your correspondence regarding the right to bear arms resolution.
I am not on the Policy Committee, which would likely consider the resolution initially,
but I would wholeheartedly support it if it comes before the full board.

I've talk to the board member that I approach here, and so far everything is looking good. One more hurdle to cross...it has to be run past the County Attorney., which will be done this coming Tuesday. Depending on the outcome there, the issue could be voted on as early as this coming Thrusday the 12th
I’ve been sort of talk into speaking before the board on the matter.
I’m not much of a speaker, so may need reinforcements. Coach or Molly, or both, are you up to it, as my back up’s?
Meeting usually start around 7-7:30 PM.

Sorry, I would love to but I have a "can't miss" board meeting that evening. Have you contacted Mark Mountain?

County takes stand on state legislation that infringes on the right to bear arms
Wednesday, July 11, 2007 Mail to a friend Printer Friendly Version
By Edward Husar
Herald-Whig Staff Writer
The Adams County Board approved a resolution Tuesday opposing the enactment of any legislation infringing upon the public's right to keep and bear arms.
The resolution was passed unanimously without discussion, making Adams County the latest in a string of Illinois counties to approve a resolution of this nature, including several in the immediate area.
The County Board's Legislative and Judicial Committee presented the resolution for consideration. Dave Bockhold, committee chairman, said the resolution was developed in response to some pending legislation that could ban certain firearms used for hunting or recreational shooting. The pending legislation is said to be supported by Chicago Mayor Richard Daley and Gov. Rod Blagojevich.
"There's been a lot of downstate counties passing this same type of resolution. We're just making a statement so they know where we stand," Bockhold said.
Bockhold said he doesn't like the idea of seeing state gun laws becoming tougher on law-abiding citizens who have the right under the U.S. Constitution to bear firearms.
"I'm a sportsman, a shooter," he said. "I imagine Mayor Daley and the governor rubbed me the wrong way with this stuff. That's where it's all coming from."
The resolution says, in part, that the people of Adams County not only oppose any legislation that would infringe upon the right to keep and bear arms, but also "consider such laws to be unconstitutional and beyond lawful legislative authority."
Bockhold said he's not sure whether the resolution "carries any weight. But we just wanted to go on record and make a statement so they know we're here."

I just talked to the County Commissioner, he said it will be passed at next Monday's meeting, July 16th, no doubt in his mind.
