BLUE EARTH — Faribault County commissioners have approved a resolution in support of the Second Amendment right to bear arms.

Brenda Baldwin appeared before the board this week representing a group of concerned citizens who had collected 668 signatures on a petition for a resolution to declare Faribault County a “Second Amendment Dedicated County.”
