A handful of Illinois counties have said they are “sanctuaries” for people concerned about their rights to own guns.

Recently, Effington County State’s Attorney Bryan Kibler suggested that a new resolution in the downstate county adopted the sanctuary languages used by places seeking to shield undocumented immigrants from Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials.

Morning Shift host Tony Sarabia talked to Kibler about the goal of the ordinance, the gun culture in Effingham County, and how the idea is spreading.
