Some area members of Congress, state lawmakers and DuPage County Board members gathered Monday to call on DuPage County Sheriff James Mendrick to retract his statement or resign after he said he will not enforce the state's new assault weapons ban.Mendrick issued a statement Jan. 13, saying he believes the new bill violates Second Amendment rights and that his office won't be checking to ensure that lawful gun owners register their weapons with the state nor arresting or housing anyone charged solely with not complying with the act.
