STEAMBOAT SPRINGS — Routt County Sheriff Garrett Wiggins and Moffat County Sheriff Tim Jantz say they will join Weld County Sheriff John Cooke and not enforce gun-control measures signed into law by Gov. John Hickenlooper on Wednesday.
Wiggins and Jantz maintain the legislation passed by Colorado’s House and Senate won’t keep guns out of the hands of criminals and instead will punish law-abiding citizens.
Summit County Sheriff John Minor also calls the new laws “unenforceable,” the Summit Daily reported Wednesday.
Both Wiggins and Jantz said Tuesday that gun control has been the No. 1 concern of their constituents in recent months, and that every e-mail, phone call and comment they have heard is from residents who oppose gun-control legislation.
