County To Discuss Gun Resolution

The Kootenai County commissioners will discuss a resolution from the local GOP Central Committee, seeking an ordinance that would recognize the sheriff as the ultimate authority in deciding constitutionality of federal gun laws. The commissioners will discuss the matter at 3 o’clock today at the courthouse. They have asked Prosecutor Barry McHugh and Sheriff Ben Wolfinger to give their views on the issue. County Republicans prevented the Republican sheriff from addressing the issue at a recent Central Committee meeting.
