The police chief for the Washington town of Republic promised residents that his force would respect their right to bear arms, no matter the state’s restrictive gun laws.
In a Facebook post last week, Chief Loren Culp argued the U.S. Constitution ensured the private right of individuals to their firearms. “As long as I am Chief of Police,” Culp wrote, “no Republic Police Officer will infringe on a citizens right to keep and Bear Arms, PERIOD!”
The post had been shared over two thousand times by Friday morning. Republic is a town of just over a thousand residents.
