Meaning what exactly? They aren't to make gun related arrests? Prosecutions?

"The proposed local law would declare Lewis County a "Second Amendment Sanctuary," which would mean the county wouldn't enforce most State gun laws,
but would still enforce any Federal gun laws. Wyoming County is currently the
only county in New York to adopt such legislation.

Specifically, the proposed law would prohibit any county employees or officials
from enforcing or using county funds to enforce unlawful gun laws, defined as
any State act, law, order, rule or regulation that restricts an individual's right to
bear arms or limits the lawful use of firearms.

The legislation would only limit enforcement to Lewis County employees, such as
the Sheriff's Office, but would not apply to agencies like the New York State
Police, NYS DEC and others."

All in all, probably doesn't do much. Still have to look out for the NYSP and the turtle cops.  We have a very pro 2A sheriff who has no problem thumbing his nose at Prince Andrew.  It's about time we did something instead of rolling over and playing dead.

Lol. Nothing will be different but some local politicians will think they are shoring up the Fudd vote.

Even if the NYSP arrest you the local DA can drop the charges. The AG can prosecute some cases though, I forget what the technicality is, the DA has to ask maybe? A safe act conviction got overturned over that

They get the DA on board maybe they can do something although I applaud any government body willing to tell King Andrew to get fucked.
