Did Nygren distort the truth about ISA Resolution?

I called the Illinois Sheriffs' Association this morning, when I could not find the 2/3/2009 Resolution about right-to-carry on its website (http://www.ilsheriffs.org/).

Last year the Association switched website providers, and the Resolution did not get posted on the new website. Shortly after 9:00AM I was told that it would be posted on the current website today and would be found under the "Information" tab.

It may be that only the Resolution will be posted and not the Conditions that Sheriff Nygren mentioned last night, which are discussed in a separate, recent article on the Woodstock Advocate. The Resolution was passed at the 2009 Winter Conference of the Sheriffs' Association.

By 10:00AM the Resolution was posted. Read it here:
www.ilsheriff.org/Press%20Release%202009-1%20Conceal%20Carry%20Resolution.pdf

The very first thing I noticed is that Sheriff Nygren may not have told the truth, the complete truth and nothing but the truth at last night's meeting of 500 men, women and children at the McHenry County Right to Carry Association meeting.

Nygren said that the Resolution "was passed by 90% of the sheriffs present" at the 2/3/09 Illinois Sheriff's Association meeting. That is not what the Press Release from the Illinois Sheriffs' Association says.

Read what the Press Release about the Resolution says is: "Out of 79 sheriffs responding to our (ISA) survey, 90% of those sheriffs support concealed carry with the right type of restrictions, training and scrutiny."

Ninety percent (90%) of 79 is 71. Seventy-one sheriffs favored right-to-carry on the survey. Ten percent (8) were not in favor of it, and 23 sheriffs did not respond. I'll assume that those 23 do not favor right-to-carry and didn't want say so.

That 90% is the number of sheriffs favoring right-to-carry who responded to a survey that led to the Resolution.

There are 102 sheriffs in Illinois. Only sixty (60) of them attended the 2009 Winter Conference. Forty-two did not attend.

The Resolution could have been passed at the Winter Conference by a simple majority of those present. If 60 attended and if all were present when the Resolution was voted on, then it would have taken only 31 sheriffs at the Winter Conference to pass the Resolution. A fair assumption is that between 31 and 60 sheriffs voted in favor of the Resolution.

How did Sheriff Nygren vote, if he was at the 2009 Winter Conference and if he was present when the Resolution was voted on?
