Larry Bowers reports: Sheriff Steve Ross says Polk County’s adoption of gun sanctuary status will have little impact on his office, his staff, or the residents of Polk County.

Without coming right out and taking a strong stand for strong gun-rights advocacy, Ross says he believes in the “rightful” possession of firearms, and he has no concerns with the commission’s approval of gun sanctuary status.

The main thing is, Polk County authorities will step up to protect the rights of the county’s citizens in regard to firearm ownership. They will also enforce violations.

The Polk County sheriff said he realizes there is growing support of the gun sannctuary issues, not only in Polk County but across the nation.

Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee has filed an appeal after the federal government denied his request for individual aid for residents in five counties battered by flooding and severe storms.

A news release from the Tennessee Emergency Management Agency says the counties that were denied the individual assistance for storm damage in February and March are Decatur, Hardin, Humphreys, Perry and Sevier.

Last month, the Federal Emergency Management Agency denied Lee’s request to make the federal aid available to help impacted residents in those counties cover certain expenses.

Currently, 59 counties are already eligible for the federal public assistance program, which helps governments recoup the costs of responding to the floods.
