ktvb.com: An Illinois county’s board voted to make itself a sanctuary for gun owners and to not enforce laws that “unconstitutionally restrict the Second Amendment.”
The Effingham County Board approved the resolution 8-1 on Monday. Board members said they felt it was necessary to “take a stand” against gun control efforts in the Illinois legislature.
Effingham County State’s Attorney Bryan Kibler told Fox News that they decided to “flip the script” and “make this a sanctuary county like they would for undocumented immigrants.”
Kibler admitted the action is largely symbolic and Sheriff Dave Mahon told the Effingham Daily News that the board’s decision would not dictate how his office enforces the law.
Mahon said the state passed a gun control law with dubious constitutionality, he would decide how to handle it after consulting with the state’s attorney and the legal counsel of the Illinois Sheriff’s Association. more
God bless ’em. Undoubtedly there is still an iota of sanity in Illinois.

the protection of citizens is the greatest responsibility of any republic
glad to see one small county in the US understands this
Effingham? Reminds me of an old re-bushing joke…
Saw this a few days ago. Called the county clerk there and got a copy of the resolution, and now I’m working with a local county commissioner to do the same thing here. Good on them!!
I live a few hours south of Effingham, and believe me, this part of Illinois is where we cling to our guns and our religion. People have to understand that there are 102 counties in this state, and 101 of them are mostly conservative. If California succeeds with it’s break up, I pray that we’re next.
Best thing about Effingham… Never pass it less than 110 MPH and never a cop in sight. Where my I-57 crew at
I’d love to see this expand.
101 TO GO!!!
Well maybe not Cook…
Another Sheriff with ballz, hells yeah!
I’VE BEEN UPLOADING THIS ALL OVER THE INTERNET FOR YEARS!!
Sanctuary State for Gun Owners, pass it along!
