RKBA Tyrant Sherriff being recalled then violates law

Post by bignflnut »

As the Second Amendment sanctuary movement continues to grow, not everyone is in agreement. To be sure, there will always be counties filled with anti-gun voters who won’t want their counties to make a stand against gun control. There are those mixed counties were there’s just not enough people to shift things over.

However, what happens when an official faces a large enough population who wants sanctuary status and someone like the sheriff basically says they don’t care?

Well, in Humboldt County, Nevada, they have a plan. They launched a petition to recall the sheriff. They even got enough signatures. Then, some hinky stuff started.
A committee to recall the Humboldt County sheriff and remove him from office says it submitted more than the required number of signatures on Friday to qualify the call for a special election, but organizers are reeling after learning that county officials violated election rules by allowing the target of the recall to thumb through the petition before submitting the signatures to the secretary of state.

Humboldt County Clerk Tami Spero said on Tuesday that, upon his request, she allowed Sheriff Mike Allen, the target of the recall, to flip through the pages of the petition while a deputy, who had full view of the sheriff and the document, observed him. She added that Allen is “allowed to view the petition because it is a public record.”

Regardless, I doubt the rest of us would get a pass if we ignored the rules like that.

More importantly, though, is that the recall will proceed.
Whooo and Hoooo...become a RKBA sanctuary Sheriff or be recalled???!! There's the courage of your convictions!! If only State wide RKBA orgs campaigned like this... Way to go Humboldt County, Nevada!

I was rather impressed with the two Ohio towns that disbanded due to out of control taxation and spending. the residents had enough and said no more.
Nice to see the people taking back control, in more ways than one.
