In Brevard County, Florida, Sheriff Wayne Ivey has made a name for himself as being “one of the most politically incorrect” people in law enforcement. And by his own admission, he’s fine with that. But he’s drawn national attention for a new video which his department released this month, encouraging people to arm themselves and learn how to fight to protect their own lives and families in the event of a spontaneous terror attack such as we’ve been seeing around the globe. It’s about six minutes long and is quite well produced, so give it a look.

Despite what you’ll see in the various media attacks being launched against him, Ivey isn’t foaming at the mouth or spouting conspiracy theories. Nor is he encouraging anyone to break the law or do things they aren’t personally comfortable with. He’s simply reminding citizens that the cops can’t be everywhere at once and sometimes it takes time for them to respond to reports of an attack. That delay may cost you your life or that of your loved ones if you aren’t able to defend yourself.
Ivey ranges all over the place in defense of his position, citing everything from news coverage of actual terror attacks using low tech weaponry to quotes from Sun Tzu’s Art of War. (“Every battle is won or lost before it’s ever begun.”) He encourages those with concealed carry permits to have their weapons on their person at all times where legally allowed. (Your firearm isn’t going to do you any good at home when you’re out of the house.) But for those who choose not to keep firearms, he asks them to get training on how to use other forms of weaponry ranging from tasers to golf clubs to chairs or even fire extinguishers.
That sort of advice should be the type of common sense which most everyone can get behind, right? Who are we kidding. People are tearing him apart over it. (Daily Mail)
The video attracted a barrage of both positive and negative comments on Facebook, although many criticized the sheriff for exaggerating the level of threat and spreading fear.
One commenter wrote: ‘How is this helpful? The point of terrorism is to scare people and get a panicked response from them, to disrupt their everyday lives with anxiety.
‘You are doing far more harm than good by trying to get everyone armed and on edge. ‘
And as usual, you won’t need to look very far to find the same sentiments (and worse) on social media.

That was predictable, I suppose. Even if he’s not insisting everyone have guns, the anti-gun groups can’t stand to hear about anyone suggesting fighting back. Sheriff Ivey seems to have clear eyes when it comes to the possibility of an attack by jihadist forces, but not quite so much when it comes to the home front. Perhaps he should have kept one other old adage from Sun Tzu in mind. “If you know your enemies and know yourself, you will not be imperiled in a hundred battles… if you do not know your enemies nor yourself, you will be imperiled in every single battle.”
I wonder what his FReeper name is?
There should be a celebration in the U.S. whenever an Antifa-, Demonicrat- or islamo-terrorist is killed in attempting to violently attack innocent people.
Sheriff that gets it is always great news
PORT CANAVERAL is in Brevard County, FL! Remember this:
I sold my house in FL near there, and believe me, there are issues behind the scenes that require arming yourself! I spent two months there last year, and glad to be home! Orlando is cesspool of crime! It was less than 40 miles away.
He’s not alone.
Yeah. Know your enemy. A terrorist killed the gays in the Pulse nightclub in the name of Allah but those in politics want to make it about hate crimes due to homophobia. It is sickening to see how they hold vigils and act like it is about “hate” and not about “terrorism.” Ivey is right on the money. He is telling the people to be prepared.
So what happens when people aren't afraid of them, and simply shoot them down where they stand?
The cruise ships pick up passengers right across from Port Canaveral in Brevard County, FL.. Sheriff Ivey’s county:
Brevard County, Fl is in danger, it’s space coast, Cape Canaveral...across from cruise ship docking for passengers:
As if we need someone to tell us?
Sheriff Wayne Ivey is a national treasure, and we, here in Brevard County, Florida are not going to give him up!!!
Sheriff Dave Clarke has set the libs off here doing the same thing in Milwaukee.
September 11 2001 was everybodys wake up call to be armed at all times.Those that are paying attention anyway.
I love this guy! I wish every single sheriff in America was exactly like this.
Basic common sense to liberals is like holy water to vampires.
Yes, we actually do.
The media highlights those who say we have to retreat or understand the motives of terrorists.
The politicians want to disarm us.
The bureaucrats confound any attempts to weed out the sociopathic terrorists and shroud them with their interpretation of constitutional protections which is always in opposition to their view of ours.
It's about damn time someone in a position of authority gives us a GO!!
Yep, a GO is all that’s needed
