St. Germain may soon follow Florence County as only Second Amendment Sanctuaries in Wisconsin<\/a><\/p>\n

ST. GERMAIN – Gun store owner Jason Hyrczyk’s phone ringtone of gunfire says it all.<\/p>\n

“It’s part of our American heritage,” said Hyrczyk, owner of Blacked Out Arms in St. Germain. “That’s why we’re different than any other country. It guarantees our freedoms.”<\/p>\n

Hyrczyk strongly supports the second amendment, and agrees with the town board members who proposed a resolution to make St. Germain a second amendment sanctuary.<\/p>\n

“We want to have a voice up here as well,” said St. Germain Town Supervisor Jim Swenson.<\/p>\n

With talk about restricting gun access in the state capitol, Swenson said he and others feel left out of the political process.<\/p>\n

“We’ll keep going forward with what the constitution states and what our belief is,” said Swenson.<\/p>\n

Resolution SG19-12-1 was proposed by town supervisor Brian Cooper at the Dec. 9 meeting.<\/p>\n

It states “the right of the people to keep and bear arms is guaranteed as an individual right under the second amendment.”<\/p>\n

Debate arose at the Dec. 9 town board meeting about a how a potential future law could be at odds with the second amendment.<\/p>\n

The resolution states “the town supports the sheriff of Vilas County to exercise sound discretion not to enforce against any citizen an unconstitutional firearms law.”<\/p>\n

This could put law enforcement in a difficult position – should they follow their interpretation of the constitution or state law?<\/p>\n

But Vilas County Sheriff Joe Fath has no problem with this.<\/p>\n

“It wouldn’t have any effect on our department,” said Fath.<\/p>\n

Fath, a resident of St. Germain, doesn’t believe Wisconsin will pass any of what he calls ‘unconstitutional second amendment laws’.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
