(The Center Square) -- The Weld County Board of Commissioners reaffirmed the county's Second Amendment sanctuary status on Friday in response to several anti-gun bills meandering through the state legislature.

The move means the board stands by its 2019 decision not to adopt any ordinance which abridges or restricts a person's individual right to bear arms. At the same time, the Weld County Sheriff has sole discretion to enforce firearms laws that may be unconstitutional.
