Emerging movement encourages sheriffs to act as shield against federal

The 100 or so sheriffs gathered in a Las Vegas hotel ballroom two

sheriff.
The Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association's inaugural
convention was designed to be the national coming-out for this idea
and the start of an educational movement that its founder hopes will
sweep the country. Its sponsors included the John Birch Society, the
Gun Owners of America and the Front Sight Firearms Training Institute.
Advertisers included survivalist businesses, anti-IRS proponents,
purveyors of gold-buying secrets and one company that sells a guide,
"How to Turn Your Home into a Fortress."
"We have a large group of people in my county who agree with these
