SUPPORT your LOCAL SHERIFF? Or Not?

[david76]

I don't understand!
If you only conceal carry, how does the officer know you are carrying? If you are telling them, than that is your own fault!
Also, I find it extremely hard to believe that ANY officer has searched your car without asking for and receiving your consent!

I was under the impression that if a leo asked if you have any weapons on you, you are sopposed to answer honestly so I did. And I kind of feel like I am being called a liar but believe what you want the truth is in the real world THPD does what they want if you give them consent or not. I would have fought it but did not want to spend a night in jail and pay lawer fee's for nothing so I just shut up and watched. It did not happen every time but it does happen. One more thing even if I did tell the leo I was carrying how am I at fault? Does that give them the right to search without asking?

I specifically asked him about that, drummerGunner. It was taken out of context and he was talking about a modified AR 15 that was seized. I wasn't the first person to ask him about that.

Thank you for the clarification. He seems like a good guy and I voted for him.

+1

I'm hoping that even with term limits on the Sheriff that we can keep
a pro-2A guy in there forever! We do border nazi-IllinoisY after all...

Look after next election to see who gets to speak for the Sheriff's department to media a lot. That will give you an idea who might run on that side. Ewing was Marvel's right hand man. That doesn't automatically means they will get elected, but as long as Ewing does a good job and he supports someone, they stand a pretty good chance.

Clark Cottom is in charge of lots of things, including Reserve Deputy Program... hmmm

Is there even still a sheriff in Marion?

I would hope so!!!
That is the only CONSTITUTIONAL LEO officer.
I guess they could swear in any LEO to uphold the constitution, but Sheriff is listed in our founding document...

Must have moved south!
Any idea who is the "Heir-Apparent" in Vigo?

 

[darinb]

We have a good sheriff here in Scott County he is pro 2a and knows his stuff firearmswise.

I just saw Clark Cottom on WTHI talking about VCSO's hiring plans.

I have no idea, he is apparently still either a vigo co. resident or the SD has no residency rules. At some point, he should have to live in Sullivan Co. to run for Sheriff there once it is time to file for office.

Since this thread has already been bumped up I'll go ahead and answer your question. Yes there is. The Marion County Sheriff's Office still exists, they run the jails. The Sheriff is John Layton. I haven't heard one way or the other on his stance regarding the 2A. I'm sure it'll be brought up at some point this year because of the elections happening this year.

They do hire heavily from the reserve deputy program, which he runs. I know they also have hired from THPD, but not sure if that goes thru C.C.
