Elbert County Sheriff Shayne Heap has been one of the leading opponents of Colorado's new gun laws.
Last week, he joined fifty-three other sheriffs in suing Colorado over those laws.
Now he has announced that he will place armed officers inside of the schools in his county.
He believes that by doing so it will increase safety, at the schools, and act as a deterrent against anyone who would want to harm students.
It also takes the pressure of schools which can't afford to pay for armed guards, as the money will be coming out of the sheriff department's budget.
