(Jefferson County, Ind.) - The sheriff of Jefferson County David Thomas released a statement of Friday pertaining to the second amendment of the United States of America and the State of Indiana. 

The statement goes as follows:

To the citizens of Jefferson County, Indiana;

Thank you for sharing your interest in defending the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution and I understand there is a great deal of interest in protecting our rights under the Second Amendment and that public officials are frequently asked to commit or take positions on political or policy matters. I first took the oath, defending the Constitution of the United States and the laws of the State of Indiana in 1979, as an Indiana State Trooper.

In November of 2018, I was constitutional elected as your Sheriff and that is a very proud moment in my life. As every Sheriff, being elected included the taking of the very serious oath to defend the Constitution of the United States and the laws of the State of Indiana. I did not take either of these oaths lightly or with any less than full respect and intent to honor them. I have stated a number of times I support the Constitution and all of its amendments. I strive to do that every day along with all members of the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office.

Sincerely,

David Thomas
Sheriff
Jefferson County
