Concealed carry proposal gets support of sheriff

“If our attorneys say we can issue a permit, that’s what I’ll do,” Meyers said. “If they say I can’t, then I won’t, and that’s probably when the courts will get involved.”

Shortly after the meeting broke up, Meyers elaborated a bit, saying that while he doesn’t think all the supporters of the resolution can legally do what they want and that some of the facts they are citing might not be accurate, he understands the need for citizens to be able to arm themselves.

“Wisconsin almost passed it; if they did, we’d be the only state without some sort of concealed carry,” he said. “I just think that this is what’s coming, and from a public safety standpoint, it’s the right thing to do.”
