Lawrence county, as of last fiscal court meeting, didn't act on their ordinance at all. They know that they have 6 months after this statute takes effect to act on it without liability. So they voted to "shelf" it.
Hogan also suggested that he challenges this statute's legitimacy. He ask the fiscal court to allow him to file suit challenging this in federal court. Unanimously it passed but the "second" was withdrew after the vote. So I don't know what is going to happen with this.
He made up scenarios of cons having guns in the court rooms and would not listen when I suggested this ordinance having no effect in there. They also brought up federal courthouses like they are similar to our courthouse. They failed to see that they have their own rules/regulations, and that they are, if I am not mistaken, just court rooms and offices for court proceedings.
Also, I brought up that this was nothing new as it took effect in '84. Hogan keeps suggesting that this is a new law, which bothers me. He also said that he asked me "nicely" not to have my gun in their. As he is perceived to have authority this held weight with the fiscal court. I did have some support from Jeff Kinzer (spelling?) and some guy I did not know though.
I am being made out as a fool in the local online newspaper, the Levisa Lazer. Since he does not bother to get anything right, I would not suggest getting your "news" from him though.
I made front page news in the Big Sandy printed newspaper too (Wednesday June 20th edition). They also did not get all of their "facts" straight. Apparently since I now have my CDWL now (It was asked if I did at the court meeting) you have to be properly trained and licensed to carry into "public" buildings.
Lastly, this past meeting started out with a "update" by Rocky Adkins (our state representative) detailing funds appropriated to Lawrence county that ended with every council member telling him how much they appreciated him. Then, as he left before the weapons ordinance was brought up, they went behind his back to challenge the legislation he helped to pass. Apparently they only appreciate him so much. The next meeting is July 16th at 9:30am if anyone wants to show up. Apparently Hogan is going to have a powerpoint presentation for the court so I "don't have to continue coming to the courthouse".
Any advice on how to proceed or support would be greatly appreciated. Do you think pursuing this would hurt our cause more than it will help it? Do you think I should write a letter to the editor of the Big Sandy to state my case and correct the article?
@KYGlockster, I would greatly appreciate that audio file. As I have informed you, I am willing to take on all financial burden for you to send the file to me. I am willing to drive up their and get that audio file if that is what you want to do. I am wanting to show everyone how "nicely" he asked us not to carry in the courthouse.
