Not true at all. Many people have taken an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution, most Sheriffs and Police Chiefs and even ordinary people like myself. in doing so, we are all expected to interpret what the Constitutions means, indeed it is the duty of every citizen. Like one Chief said, his duty, is to the Constitution first and everything else in the line of duty next.
This new law simply directs the Sheriff to use the judgement he is required to use in any case, and forgo enforcing a gun law that he deems infringes on Constitutional rights. If you folks in Portland want to force him into enforcing laws he doesn't think is Constitutional, then you all need to get the Court involved, perhaps even the Supreme Court. Three Counties now have taken this path.
perhaps it should have been implemented in the counties where the residents agree to submit to the infringement of their right. Stuffing it on those that do not agree is egregious, forcing them to enforce the egregious is ridiculous.
