KENTON COUNTY, Ky. (Cincinnati Enquirer) – Kenton County officials launched an effort to pass a Second Amendment sanctuary resolution, according to Kenton County Judge-Executive Kris Knochelmann.
According to our media partners at the Cincinnati Enquirer, the county is part of the wave of over 30 Kentucky counties that decided to take the step. It means the counties either expressed opposition to gun regulations or had specific plans to not follow state and federal gun regulations, depending on the wording in each resolution.
In Northern Kentucky, the officials at the counties of Boone, Gallatin, and Pendleton signaled that they, too, want to pass a sanctuary resolution.
The Kenton County Fiscal Court will likely vote on its sanctuary resolution at its meeting on Jan. 9, Knochelmann told The Enquirer. The resolution will be available to read when the county releases its agenda.
