[Western Journal] Officials in the state of Missouri have publicly refused to obey the FBI’s demands that they hand over the personal information of the state’s concealed carry weapons permit holders, saying the agency is attempting "to illegally obtain" the information.
Scotland County Sheriff Bryan Whitney, for one, is adamant that the FBI is trying to assemble an illegal gun registry of Missouri citizens.
"As the sheriff of Scotland County, I want all my citizens to know that I will not allow, cooperate or release any CCW information to the FBI, ’even at the threat of a federal arrest," Whitney, a Republican, told his constituents in a letter released on Monday, Fox News reported.
"Point Blank, I will go down with the ship if need be," Whitney added in his letter.
Whitney told his constituents that the FBI had alerted Missouri’s 24 county sheriffs that it intended to launch an audit of Missouri CCW holders starting in August.
