A handful of Kentucky counties have passed resolutions declaring local governments “Second Amendment sanctuaries.”
Dozens of others are poised to vote on the issue. Letcher County is among the latest to pass such a resolution as a defense against possible legislation that could limit access to firearms. Letcher County Judge-Executive Terry Adams says the resolution mostly serves to warn politicians of political blowback that could result from supporting gun control legislation. A state lawmaker has said he is drafting a bill for the upcoming legislative session that would allow firearms to be taken if an individual is deemed dangerous.
Locally, Hancock County and Hart counties have recently approved such resolutions. Votes are pending in Breckinridge and Grayson Counties. The issue is expected to be presented to Meade County Fiscal Court during their regular monthly meeting on January 14.
