In the meantime, we encourage you, as Sherburne County lected officials, to provide leadership at the county level by doing your part to uphold the Second Amendment rights our shared constituents enjoy under our cherished Constitution. Your response to our request to make Sherburne County a Second Amendment sanctuary is eagerly anticipated.
