Florence County becomes first Second Amendment Sanctuary County in Wisconsin

FLORENCE COUNTY, Wisc. (WLUC) - Florence County is the first county in Wisconsin to become a Second Amendment Sanctuary County. The Florence County Board of Supervisors passed their resolution Tuesday night.

Florence County has made history.

"We are the first county in Wisconsin to be a second Amendment Sanctuary County which I think is huge,” said Mark Kerznar, a Florence County Citizen.

This is push-back to the red-flag legislation supported by the governor and several lawmakers. The red flag law gives power to the sheriff to confiscate a person's weapons if they're deemed dangerous.
