Christian County has joined the growing list of counties to declare themselves as a “Sanctuary County” for gun owners in Illinois. The resolution passed unanimously at the May county board meeting.

 

Vicki McMahon is a second district county board member and the chair of the Christian County NRA. She says she hopes the growing number of counties passing this type of resolution is sending a loud and clear message to lawmakers in Springfield.

 

 

 

McMahon says the state is infringing on the rights of legal gun owners by passing law restricting the use or possession of specific firearms.
