Blair Co. Municipalities Easily Pass Second Amendment Sanctuary Referendum

The referendum to make Blair County a second amendment sanctuary overwhelmingly passed county-wide with an unofficial tally of 17,846 voting in favor to just 7,149 no votes.

The referendum, which makes it illegal for the government to confiscate legally owned firearms, was voted on two levels as voters were asked to cast a yes or no vote on the county level as well as their respective municipality.

None of the county’s 24 municipalities voted down the referendum, passing it individually by a wide margin in each area.

Freedom Township led the way for Cove area municipalities with 603 yes votes...
