[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3210179, member: 5412"] Upper echelon members of those LEO agencies have to sign on with the resolve to carry out the oath. It appears some signed on as a political statement as those positions are elected. They are pandering to the voters. On the other hand, 14 counties in New Mexico have identified themselves as 2nd Amendment Sanctuaries supported by the highest and elected LEO in those counties. ALBUQUERQUE - A handful of rural counties in New Mexico are passing resolutions saying they will not require their sheriffs to enforce a sweeping slate of gun-control proposals that have gone before state lawmakers. The “Second Amendment Sanctuary County” resolutions are being presented by sheriffs to commissioners in dozens of counties, according to the head of the New Mexico Sheriffs’ Association. So far, commissioners in at least four counties situated in some of the most remote pockets of New Mexico have passed the resolutions in the past week, Cibola County Sheriff Tony Mace said. He expects more county commissions to be presented with similar resolutions at their upcoming meetings, he said.
