I apologize for the misspoken comment I left. I failed to express my thoughts in ways that I intended.
I'll blame it on too much Chuy's for lunch!

I didn't know one could have too much Chuy's...
It looks like Coal and Cotton counties are on the list now bringing the total to ten so far.
While I think this is definitely a good thing I also believe a lot of it has to do with reelection efforts in some cases.
I just wonder how much weight these declarations will carry if the DAs don't sign on or when state or federal law enforcement is involved.
Also if every LEO in the county isn't on board how will that be handled.

This is all for show. Just like the ones in Virginia. When the lobby day happened in Virginia over 20,000 citizens were illegally disarmed to be able to go inside the fenced off area on the Capitol grounds. None of the sheriffs did anything about it and neither did any of the other folks protesting. And the 20,000 that were disarmed just let it happen. This is the reality of how things go. People talk big but never back it up. And that’s why we are being disarmed. Talk is cheap. Backing it up costs a lot. Especially for a police officer. They aren’t gonna risk their pensions and benefits to stand up for the constitution. And you never see them do it. That ain’t gonna change no matter what happens.
My understanding was that only about 6000 actually went inside the fence. The rest that were still armed were just outside of the fence, so not all of those people were disarmed.
Political positions change, laws change, public attitudes change. Those of you wishing for another armed conflict style civil war are going to be very disappointed.
The battles are being waged at the ballot box, and the good citizens of Virginia were caught asleep. From the looks of the "protest" it appears that they are fully awake now, and so are a great many folks around the country.
By email, phone calls, letters, and personal visits, we make our positions known. When one of our elected representatives, no matter what level they are, we must support them if we truly want those changes to happen.
I prefer to live my life focused on all the positive things and folks I see every day.

Using that logic, people have a right to bear arms while they're in prison. After all, where in the constitution does it say 'unless you're in prison'? Cops don't have the right to disarm people they've arrested. After all, where in the constitution does it say 'unless you're in police custody'?
Either it's for EVERYONE or it's not a right. This seems to be the gist of your argument,
Do we have the right to life, liberty and property? Yes, we do. Can the government deprive us of these rights? Yes, they can, provided they also accord us due process. The clear implication from the fifth amendment is that we can be deprived of our rights under certain circumstances and among the rights is the right to arms.
IN case there is any doubt of what I said above, here is the text of the 5th Amendment, verbatim.
No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.
