Remember Pine County Sheriff Cole? He's the guy that said he wouldn't follow any federal gun laws:

On a day when President Obama was preparing a slate of proposals to stem gun violence in America, Pine County Sheriff Robin Cole said he would consider any new federal regulation on guns to be illegal and would “refuse to carry it out.”
“We will not enforce that,” Cole told the News Tribune of any potential federal regulation that could lead to confiscation of firearms.

Obama is expected to announce proposals today including limits on the sale of assault weapons and strengthening background checks, but not confiscating existing guns.

Cole’s position first appeared Tuesday in an open letter he sent to residents of the east-central Minnesota county, disseminated through the media. The sheriff said he made the statement in response to questions from his constituents who are scared about potential new gun laws. Cole said it took him a month to craft the response. The letter outlines his contention that the Second Amendment on the right to bear arms is “fundamental to our individual freedoms and that firearms are part of life in our country.”

Well, he decided to retire, so we in Pine County get to elect a new sheriff - thank goodness! There were four sheriff candidates on my ballot today. The primary election is supposed to narrow the field down to two, who will run in the general election.

It was the only non-statewide contest on my ballot today.

Oh, and I voted for Rebecca Otto, of course.

1. I could accept that if he had also...

refused to participate in forclosures on people homes. He probably forclosed on peoples homes. Interesting what some find important.
