We could do what you suggested - although Ibelieve that then the federal and state governments would decide they could use the military or national guard against us. That is something we would have to know is in the realm of possibility.

The sheriff in every county is the top LEO. The feds cannot tell him what to do regarding what laws to enforce or not enforce, that is up to the citizens. The feds that work in "his" county get their concealed weapons permits from the sheriff. He can revoke them in a heartbeat.

I owned a ranch in Lamar County then sold out and moved to Nevada to be closer to the kids.

I believe what youa re saying regarding the laws, etc. - but as we have seen the federal government is not really big on laws. Don't get me wrong, I want it to work, and my intention is not to denigrate the idea - it is just to remind all of us that the federal government is not going to stand still for it.

They could decide there has been a gross disregard for civil rights. Heck, even the UN could bring sanctions. If anyone decided to do it, they need to be prepared for the federal government getting involved.

I thought you were from Texas -
