Nevertheless, several sheriffs have pledged not to enforce the law in recent days.
Sherman County Sheriff Brad Lohrey "said our office would not enforce Measure 114," Undersheriff James Burgett told Newsweek on Tuesday.
Others who have pledged not to enforce the law include Jefferson County Sheriff Jason Pollock.
"I believe Measure 114 is a violation of the United States Constitution and is contrary to current federal court precedent," Pollock wrote in a statement posted on the agency's Facebook page on Monday. "I have read this measure. It is poorly written and does not actually address the current criminal crisis our state currently faces."
Pollock added that Measure 114 "puts a blanket over everyone. The blanket approach is a poor lazy approach to a problem the State has created."
The sheriff said that he does not "have the personnel to attempt to permit every gun purchase in Jefferson County. Additionally, I believe the provisions of Measure 114 run contrary to previously decided judicial decisions."
I don't see any way that this could be upheld when challenged in court. But it is nice to see some law enforcement actually wanting to uphold the Constitution.

Sheriffs are more important than people realize, and that's why I feel like every county in Kansas should have one. The LEO-by-committee approach (such as in Riley County) would never fight something like this. They would argue about it and then do nothing.

Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, Arkansas. I know Colorado doesn’t allow it. Does Oklahoma?
Have to verify but wikipedia says this ...
"As of April 3, 2023, Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Florida (concealed carry only; effective July 1, 2023), Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, New Hampshire, North Dakota (concealed carry only), Ohio, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee (handguns only), Texas, Utah, Vermont, West Virginia, and Wyoming generally allow most law-abiding adults to carry a loaded concealed firearm without a permit."
I had no idea it was this prevalent.
