Josh Horwitz on the Wicomico County (MD) Sheriff Mike Lewis

Wicomico County Sheriff Mike Lewis made headlines in Maryland recently when he suggested he might not enforce new state gun laws that he believed were unconstitutional, despite court rulings to the contrary.

But Sheriff Lewis didn't stop there. He also threatened “all-out civil war” if the federal government attempted to enforce gun laws in Wicomico County.¹

Despite these threats, Sheriff Lewis still holds a certification from the Maryland Police Training Commission to train law enforcement officers in the state.

Click here to tell the Maryland Police Training Commission it's time to revoke Sheriff Lewis' certification.

The mission of the Maryland Police Training Commission is to "ensure the quality of law enforcement...through the establishment and enforcement of standards and the facilitation and delivery of training, education and prevention programs." Simply put, it is difficult to see how a law enforcement officer who is threatening to wage war with the United States government meets any recognized standards of public service. 

Sign our petition and tell the Commission that Sheriff Lewis should no longer be given the responsibility of training law enforcement officers in Maryland.

There is no place in public service for those who promote "Second Amendment remedies." Thank you for standing with us in this important campaign.

Sincerely,

Josh Horwitz
