    40 Sheriff’s Walk Out of State House After Senator Demands They Disarm

    40 Sheriff’s Walk Out of State House After Senator Demands They Disarm

    Posted on 16 March, 2014 by Rick Wells


    The annual meet and greet is a chance for sheriffs and legislators to come together and discuss the needs of the state as well as an opportunity to just to get to know each other better. It took place this year in the same location it has in previous years, the Oklahoma State Capitol.

    One thing was different this year that had a major impact on the event. An anonymous senator requested that the sheriffs be asked to disarm. Even in Oklahoma, gun-grabbing fever is rearing its ugly head.

    The Oklahoma sheriffs didn’t disarm. They decided that it was time to end the meeting and all forty walked out.

    Wagoner County Sheriff Bob Colbert was miffed, as were the others.

    “We’re the people that protect these people,” adding, “If the state troopers are satisfied that we’re ok in that building I’m pretty sure that the legislators should have something else to worry about such as the economy or something.”

    The reach of the long arm of gun-grabbers has reached the long arm of the law. And while this may be uncommon, it is not uncharted territory. A similar incident occurred last year during a city council meeting in Washington State, involving a military veteran who was asked to disarm.

    That request was voted down by the council and that lone councilman left the building.

    There is no apparent limit to the extent to which the progressives will go in their efforts to disarm the American public. The key is to stand up to them, to make certain that they fail at every turn.

    Several Sheriff's Asked to Disarm at Oklahoma State Capitol

    It's a building of dignity and honor, but what happened at the state capitol recently has law enforcement crying shame.

    "Everybody in that building knew who we were," said Wagoner county sheriff Bob Colbert, who, along with 40 other sheriffs from around the state, converged on the capitol as they do every year to meet and greet and lobby. Until...

    "One of the senators, who they wouldn't tell us, complained because we were armed in the building," he said.

    They were then given a choice, disarm or there's the door.
    "So we all packed up and left," he said.

    Colbert doesn't know for sure which senator complained, but has his own complaints about the complainer.

    "We're the people that protect these people," he said.

    What's more, he says, maybe if they were worried more about state business then law enforcement officers with guns, Oklahoma would be in better shape.

    "If the state troopers are satisfied that we're ok in that building I'm pretty sure that the legislators should have something else to worry about such as the economy or something," he said.

    He says some lawmakers have called to apologize, but the sting of getting the boot from the capitol is gonna hurt for a while.
    "Pretty sad day for me," he said.
