Open carry activists in Orion Township, Mich., had the police called on them during their “For Liberty Friday” protest last week. However, they were pleasantly surprised when they were confronted by a sheriff’s deputy who completely supported their demonstration because it is protected under the Second Amendment.

“We saw the a [sic] OC Sheriff car pull up so we all took out our camera-phones right away, anticipating trouble,” the video’s description reads. “This officer gets out of his car, waves to us, and walks right over. He shakes all of our hands, introduces himself, and states his purpose for walking over to us.”

The officer reportedly never asked the protesters to disarm or asked for their names or identification as they were not suspected of committing a crime.

You will find most Sheriffs Departments are pro 2nd amendment and pro gun , except for Cook County, IL.  ;D

While all Sheriffs are elected to office, if the Sheriff in Cook County doesn't tow the "party line", he'll only have the live vote to work with.
