[Bailey Guns]

Neither is Joe blow Pelle.

Grayson Robinson IS on the list. That is a surprise.

Grayson Robinson IS on the list. That is a surprise.

I misread.

[CroiDhubh]

I wanted Jay in on this, but he isn't in health enough to show up for everything.

At least the Law here is on our side!

[brutal]

I guess I can't talk TOO much trash about Weaver, at least he's in this.

[LippCJ7]

OK I compiled the list and here is what I have as to those Sheriff's who are not in on this

Boulder Sheriff Joe Pelle
Broomfield Police Chief * Tom DeLand
Chaffee Sheriff W. Peter Palmer
Conejos Sheriff Robert Gurule
Denver Manager of Safety Alex J. Martinez
Eagle Sheriff Joseph D. Hoy
Grand Sheriff Rodney Johnson
Pitkin Sheriff Joe DiSalvo
Pueblo Sheriff Kirk M. Taylor
San Miguel Sheriff Bill Masters

Now the cities and counties of Broomfield and Denver do not have a "Sheriff" they have a person appointed to act in the role as Sheriff and I listed those people with an asterisk, and so in reality what we have is 54 Sheriff's of the 62 elected Sheriff's of Colorado, I am pretty surprised at a couple names on this list and a few have been pretty open about their concerns with these new laws. Sheriff Hoy in Eagle County for instance has a letter very similar to what the CSOC.org published, also Bill Masters in San Miguel county has been in office since 1980, so they must have opted out of term limits.

I put this on Excel, if your interested in it PM Me your email, all 64 counties and Sheriffs.

Bill Masters is pretty much the only big-L Libertarian elected official in the US. Where the f*** is he?

I'm a little surprised that Darr and Robinson showed up to the party, but I'm not going to chase them away.

[Ah Pook]

I applaud these Sheriffs for standing up for "our" rights. It's too bad "our" representatives have their heads shoved up the sphincter or their political agenda.

Too bad my local Sheriff isn't one of them. Bill Master not being on the list surprised me.

I cannot fathom the pain people are going through at losing a family member in some of the recent atrocities. I just do not understand how passing these restriction will change what happened, provide any comfort for their lose or stop it from happening again.

I know some of the sheriffs who protested the illicit "laws" had said before they were uncomfortable with the idea of suing the state. I can understand that position myself as the lawsuit is unlikely to do anything but cost taxpayers money even if they win (because the Dems don't really care what the courts say) and losing the lawsuit presents the very real danger of emboldening and strengthening the gun control zealots.

[Squeeze]

For those of us who were there at the Capital on March 4th, are aware the Golden Police Chief is NOT on the list of those in support of our cause. Far as I'm concerned ANY law enforcement official who is in support of these bills are not a friend of mine. They get issued "high capacity" magazines to defend their lives and the lives of their loved ones, but those same magazines shouldn't be available to me for my protection or my family's protection? Yeah...they can choke on a tailpipe to a diesel truck. Hypocrites.
