Anyone read any pro-gun comments from your sheriff? I'm thinking if contacting mine asking for his support against obamas gun control agenda.

I'm glad to know there's at least one good retired BATFE agent out there. I've got 2 that are regular patients I transport and both are wacked out liberal loons. :roll:

Victoria County former Sheriff Michael L. Ratcliff. He was a certified John Farnam instructor. I received personal instruction from him, and he set me straight on using a combat two-point sling.

Current Victoria County Sheriff Michael O'Connor was sworn in January 2005. I don't know him, but I sincerely hope he holds true to the conservative tradition of Victoria County.

Here is my letter to my Sheriff, short and sweet. I think its a good idea to let them know we're on their side/we're watching, and we vote.
Sheriff Box,
I just wanted to thank you for standing strong for our constitution against unlawful gun control measures. Rest assured, this is being noticed by lawful gun owners who vote. Please let me know if there is ever a need to write anyone within our local government.

I've asked Kendall County Sheriff, Al Auxier, to stand up for our 2nd Amendment Rights and make his position known. He has yet to respond.

I wonder why they don't get the same media attention as Bloombergs Illegal Mayors Against Guns

Yup. Californians in general get a bad rap, but there are many pro gun sheriff's out there. Now you have to get out of Southern CA to find them and stay clear of San Francisco, but there are 57 counties. Some do issue chl/ccw permits as well.

It is very disturbing to me that there are only two on that list from Texas. :blowup :greenfrown: :banghead:
The laws that forbid the carrying of arms... disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes.

I understand what you are saying, but I prefer my county Sheriff to show respect for the RKBA by their actions, rather than spending time politicing with the different LEO organization. Do these organizations really do anything to benefit the taxpayer/gun owner?

Surprising to see so many California Sheriffs on that front-and-center list......and so few -only TWO TEXAS SHERIFFS (so far ?)

I guess those California Sheriffs have been in the battle for some time - whereas Texas Sheriff's (outside of the urban cess pools) are assumed to be on board???

Has the "progressive" wind blowing out of Austin, and Houston obliterated that "line in the sand" at the Alamo that has distinguished Texans from the rest of the sheep ?
