As counties across Kentucky become or consider becoming Second Amendment sanctuaries, a plan to do so in Nelson County has hit a snag.

“We are trying to get our elected officials as well as our law enforcement officers to basically express their support for the Second Amendment and to oppose any laws that would infringe upon those rights,” Lacy said.

However, in a meeting last week, Lacy said the county didn’t pass the draft his group prefers and instead sent him back a much shorter version he considers to be watered down and ineffective.
Lacy said his group won’t endorse that draft unless it’s strengthened.
