Medina County weighs Second Amendment sanctuary plan
Medina County residents debated designating the county as a Second Amendment sanctuary at a county commissioners meeting. John Horton of Spencer urged the board with printouts of Supreme Court positions and a sample sanctuary resolution while commissioners noted the move is symbolic and does not affect existing gun laws. The discussion follows other Ohio counties and municipalities that have passed sanctuary measures amid a broader national push.
