GRIMES CO. JOINS GROWING LIST OF “GUN SANCTUARY” COUNTIES
Grimes County is the latest county in the area to declare itself a “Gun Sanctuary County”.
At their meeting last week, Grimes County Commissioners approved a resolution stating “citizens should be able to maintain the right to keep and bear arms without fear of judicial retaliation”.
According to the resolution, Grimes County government “will not authorize or appropriate government resources for the purpose of enforcing or assisting in the enforcement of any element of such acts, laws, orders, mandates, rules or regulations, that infringe on the right of the people to keep and bear arms”.
The resolution recognizes Grimes County residents’ right to bear arms, saying its intent is to “protect victims rather than the criminal from any prosecution of defending an individuals’ rights and property”.
Grimes County joins Waller County and over 35 Texas counties that have passed similar resolutions.
