A senator in the Oklahoma State Capitol demanded that sheriffs disarm before entering the capital building in Oklahoma this week for their annual meeting.
“We are the people that protect these people”, says Wagoner County sheriff Bob Colbert.
After the 40+ sheriffs were given the option of either disarming before entering the building or leaving the sheriffs chose to leave.
Amazingly, even law enforcement is being demonized for carrying guns now – at least when around politicians. Why would politicians be fearful of armed law enforcement officers…even the very ones suppose to protect them?
I think only a criminal would fear an honest cop with a gun…right?

way to go excellent
sheriff your job is to enforce the law NOT protect and serve…so says the supreme court.
County Sheriffs are the ONLY law enforcement officials which are recognized and sanctioned by the U.S. Constitution. The Sheriff of each County is THE senior law enforcement official of that county. The Sheriff of the County in which the state Capitol is situated could and should have asserted his authority and told this dip-stick legislator to “go pound sand”.
IMPEACH THIS DUMB ASS IDIOT.
the senator must be a obama man if i was that sheriff and the rest of them i would have told that senator to go to hell and went in anyway…..those politicians must be afraid of the law finding out that they are criminals trying to destroy this country for their leader obama
Well when a senators and a representative comes to your county refuse to escort them. Then they may, just may get the point about a Sheriff or Deputy that has a gun to protect them. Better yet let the State Police escort them. After all they are state employees elected by the people.
Please identify the senator
If I were a resident of Oklahoma I would be demanding to know which Senator did this, and demanding his or her resignation. It does not matter so much whether the person was from my district in the state. Decision and actions made by these people have far reaching effects on the lives of EVERY state resident. They should have to answer to ANY resident in the public forum. Then they can be “dealt with” by the resident of their district at the ballot box.
That’s the way dictators take over.
Yeah this jackass needs to get another job. Try community organizer.
