In a resolution unanimously approved Tuesday, the Weber County Commission declared county funds would not be used to restrict citizens’ right to bear arms, creating a “Second Amendment Sanctuary.”
The commission stated the resolution “is reasonably related to the safety, health, morals, and welfare of Weber County inhabitants” and noted “opposition to unconstitutional restrictions” of law-abiding citizens’ to keep firearms. Commission chair Jim Harvey said at the Tuesday meeting the county had been developing the resolution for nearly a year, in collaboration with the county sheriff and county attorney.
“We were very careful in its preparation,” Harvey said. “We know sanctuary counties have been done, not just a couple or few others in the state of Utah, but across the country in different places.”
