Gregory said the response and feedback from his post has been overwhelmingly positive, with more than 245 likes as of Monday morning – a big number for his page. Despite his prediction of making people mad, comments on his post included "Amen," "Tell it," and "Couldn't have said it better myself brother."
Gregory, 40, isn't your average coroner. He's also the morning show host for classic rock station WLSM/Magic 107 and has been a radio DJ for 20 years. He's a former fireman and funeral home worker and was elected coroner in 2003.
Gregory said his post was in part from being incensed by home and auto break-ins in his area – including a radio station coworker's house and car – and in part to promote a Winston County Sheriff's Department-National Rifle Association handgun training session coming up Sept. 27.
