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?

Because politicians are afraid for all the wrong they have done.
GOOD FOR ALL THE SHERIFFS THAT LEFT THE STATE CAPITAL.
Does this moron have anything to be afraid of??
Defund, deny any and all armed protection for these hypocrits. See if they feel safer then!
Salute the Sheriffs.
If the politicians fear the law, its for a reason,,Sheriffs should not disarm..this is how Nazi germany started paranoia.Politicians can walk away,,they never put their lives on the Line,, like sheriffs and deputies do,,they are first defence against tyranny to rally the troops
Sounds like the Senator is not doing his job….He is afraid of his police department…Makes me wonder what he is afraid of….:)
The senator is a stupid moron, vote him out of office.
Stupid Senator, sheriffs protect you worthless hide on a daily basis. Shame on you sir!!!
BRAVO, SHERIFF’S!! STAND FIRM!
