Teller County Sheriff: ‘Your gun rights will not be taken away’
TELLER COUNTY, Colo. (KRDO) Teller County Sheriff Jason Mikesell made an early morning post on his office s Facebook page pledging to uphold the Second Amendment.
Mikesell says the post is aimed at making sure Teller County residents understand that both the United States and Colorado constitution will guide how his deputies enforce gun laws. Each time we take a rung off that ladder of people s individual rights and freedoms, I think that makes it easier later on for someone to challenge what the Second Amendment meant, said the sheriff.
According to the charging affidavit, Gieswein was a member of a domestic militia called the Three Percenters which advocates for gun rights. Federal prosecutors say the man also ran a paramilitary training group called the Woodland Wild Dogs.
Gieswein entered the Capitol complex in paramilitary training garb camouflage and an Army helmet and a reinforced military-style vest.
In a video posted about the break-in, Gieswein allegedly said he wanted to get “corrupt politicians out of office. Pelosi, the Clintons, all of … every single one of them, Biden, Kamala … they have completely destroyed our country and sold them to the Rothschilds and Rockefellers.”

SOUTHERN COLORADO â In the early 1980 s, District Attorney Dan May started as a prosecutor in the 4th Judicial District. He never thought he would still be working in the office decades later, and much less, as the district attorney for both El Paso County and Teller County. But now, May has shaped the way the office operates, and sat down to discuss his long career as he terms out of the position.
