(Red Oak) — Montgomery County became the 34th out of Iowa’s 99 counties to become a second amendment sanctuary. According to reports, the Montgomery County Board of Supervisors, Tuesday, voted 3-2 on approving a resolution declaring the county as a sanctuary for the U.S. Constitution’s second amendment. Montgomery County joins other area counties, including Page, Mills, Adams, Taylor, and Pottawattamie. Fremont County added itself to the list passing a resolution Wednesday morning, making them the 35th County.

The move did not come without opposition, however. That came from some board members, the public, and other county officials. Assistant County Attorney Bruce Swanson reminded the board that the resolution had zero policy impact but is rather symbolic and political. Swanson also strongly advised the board to avoid any language in the resolution that could impact the enforcement of current gun laws.

Supervisor Mike Olson said the resolution wasn’t about changing gun laws about where and when people can use a weapon but instead defending and standing up for the U.S. Constitution.
