Virginia Sheriff Vows to Deputize Thousands of Citizens in State Passes Gun Restrictions

County passes resolution to protect citizens’ right to bear arms
The sheriff of a county in Virginia says he’s ready to deputize thousands of citizens if the state legislature passes laws restricting the Second Amendment.

At a board meeting Tuesday where a resolution was passed declaring Culpeper County a “constitutional county,” Sheriff Scott Jenkins said he will vigorously defend the “God-given” right of citizens to own firearms.

“The right to bear arms—some believe that the Second Amendment gives us that right, when in fact it’s a God-given right. If you don’t believe in God, it’s a law of nature that every creature can defend their lives from threats,” Jenkins said.

Furthermore, Jenkins added he is prepared to deputize numerous citizens if that’s what it takes to comply with new gun laws.

Yes, creatures do have the means of self defense. Our little kitten, Guinevere, has razor sharp teeth and claws. And she is only three months old!

Good for him.

Can one deputize out of state? Hell he could probably make a bid for president if he does that.

Bravo. Somebody's trying to think out of the box,

Whats coming out of this is the beginning of discussion of due process wrt so called red flag laws being pushed by tyrants

The public discussion about the unconstitutionality of these laws is going to propel this issue to state/fed court challenges

The NRA isnt going to fund a challenge to bad arrests/laws so I think we need to consider a go fund me type of program and recruitment of lawyers like robert levy who led the heller challenge.....libertarian leaning lawyers across the country

I doubt they have the cash due to their own legal battles with AckMac

Do they get handcuffs and a whistle?

LEOSA would be enough for me to sign up.

I looked into similar options in MA, but it seems that when you’re a reserve LEO in MA, you still need to put in hours like a regular officer. I was hoping there was some sort of auxiliary position where one would only be called upon in emergencies.

Actually, if anybody knows of PDs who could use some part time intelligence work from a reserve LEO, I’d be interested.

Progressive absolutely HATE sheriffs. Elected Law Enforcement vs appointed by bureaucrats - what could be worse?

This article on sheriffs describes every way they are wrong, bad and ought be gotten rid of - The Power of Sheriffs: Explained

Something about flouting gun controls laws.... Even Wikipedia says “Elected sheriffs are accountable directly to the citizens of their county, the constitution of their state, and ultimately the United States Constitution.” Nothing about the Governor and Legislators.

I spent way too much time trying to figure out why Flo’s insurance company hates sheriffs.
