Bladen County resident, Tony Priest requested a resolution from the Bladen County Commissioners for the county to support being a Second Amendment Sanctuary. Priest also started a Petition for Bladen County, NC to become a Second Amendment Sanctuary.
The resolution means “the c will oppose possible gun control laws,” according to Priest. He explained it would also mean commissioners “would be expressing their deepest commitment in protecting the constitutional right of all citizens in Bladen County to keep and bear arms.”
