Ward County leadership wants AG’s take on Second Amendment resolution

WARD COUNTY, N.D. – Leadership in Ward County is now reaching out to the Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem’s office to get his opinion on whether Ward County should move forward with making itself a Second Amendment sanctuary.

This comes after months of back-and-forth between the sheriff, state’s attorney, county commissioners, and concerned citizens over the citizen-introduced resolution.

Similar to the Preservation Act, the resolution has been modified to fit Ward County’s legal standings.

When the item came up on this month’s agenda, Commissioner Shelly Weppler moved to receive and file the updated document, citing concern from both sides of the issue, though Chairman John Fjeldahl equated that option to essentially “killing it.”
