The county sheriff is the highest legal authority in his county. He can even deny Feds from operating there, I am told.
The Sheriff is a good man.
He should now threaten to pull the deputy sheriff commissions for the campus police.
The vote is 88% for ignoring the gun ban with 1188 votes tallied.
Should Colorado State students ignore the new weapons ban, as one sheriff suggests?

“Furthermore, he said students who ignore the ban won’t have legal problems if they don’t get caught.”
No mixed message there LOL. Whadda bunch of maroons
Colorado has several sheriffs who understand and agree with most of the intent of the 2nd Amendment.
Kudos to Larimer County Sheriff James Alderden!

Simple - harass a law-abiding CCW permit holder and loose your card. (Which I suspect allows CCW)
I can’t cite chapter and verse, but from early on, I have heard that a county sherrif has an enormous amount of power. Plus they are usually elected positions to keep them from ammasing too much power.
if campus carry is recognized by the state as legal, why bother even acknowledgin their 'ban', except of course to tell em to stfu...
yank the commission cards for first offense, on the second, toss the campus mall cop into the county jail for deprivation of Rights...

Hurrah for the county sheriff! Switzerland requires military age males, not dopey females, to keep hand-held machine guns in their homes, and to attend target practice sessions regularly, with state-supplied ammunition. Question for the idiot CSU governors: Is per-capita gun crime higher in Switzerland than in Colorado? Answer: No, it is much lower. Conclusion: Responsible, armed citizens save lives and reduce crime.
The CSU ideologues who simply will not act reasonably, even when people’s lives are at risk, have no business in any positions of authority, much less at public expense. Since they refuse to recognize reality, what on earth are they doing at a university supposedly devoted to reason and truth, and what other great issues, like freedom, are these pathetic leftards bent on distorting? These clowns should impeached and dismissed. That would send a useful message to their criminal-sympathizing comrades.
One thing such crazy fools never consider is that some nut-case who is denied tenure might come through their boardroom door with guns blazing. Then they get to validate their stupidity with their own blood. Far-fetched? Not really. They’ve just given Amy the green light.
“He can even deny Feds from operating there, I am told.”
If that were the case the feebs would not have been able to investigate and arrest crooked deputies and even the sheriff. They have done so in the past, and I’m sure, will do so in the future.
This sheriff is a great American.
Larimer County Sheriff James Alderden is my new hero!
This is probably anther reason why we need the police to be placed UNDER the authority of the elected Sheriff.
I don’t want unelected bureaucrats enforcing un-constitutional laws without the consent of the local governed.
Larimer County Sheriff James Alderden aut to have the authority to fire the dissident police Chief.
Legislators are NOT empowered by the people to simply make whatever oppressive law they like. This is why we have an elected Sheriff in the first place, one of our last(not our last) practical checks on their unauthorized power.
After the Sheriff there is the judiciary. The clear intent of our system was to protect the rights of the people, as the primary and most pressing of concerns! The “safety of the community” in the judgment of our “leader” has always been one of careful suspicion and caution.
Liberty must be protected with a vigilant eye! For it is better to have no law and rely upon our own self-defensive capability to provide for our security then to be made subjects to an unlimited and otherwise uncontrollable tyrant.
God Bless County Sheriff James Alderden and his patriotism!
