The laugh here probably results more from the journalistic emphasis than from the sheriffs themselves.
The Headline:

Despite the sniff of reportorial disapproval, it is not a terribly bad explanation of the law that goes into effect in January.
Jennifer does seem to get a little damp because sheriffs can deny permits for a "short" list of state and federal disqualifiers. If she wants to have a beer with me, I'll be glad to explain why the list of things that cancel Constitutionally recognized rights is supposed to be short.
In fact, it probably isn't short enough.

Alternate wording: "Sheriffs Agree To Obey The Law"
