A county Sheriff is an elected position where a police chief is an appointed one. Also a Sheriff is law enforcement in rural areas. If the rioters go out into the county, now they have to deal with armed citizens who WILL defend their lives and their property.

We are at war. The only question is ‘has it come to your neighborhood yet?’

>>I would tell them, if you value your life, they probably shouldn’t do that in Polk County. Because the people of Polk County like guns, they have guns, I encourage them to own guns, and they’re going to be in their homes tonight with their guns loaded<<

If the rioters go out into the county, now they have to deal with armed citizens who WILL defend their lives and their property.

Both that Sheriff, and The President, are sending a strong message to city folk everywhere....including the snowflakes.

In Polk County, Florida, Sheriff Grady Judd issued a stern warning to these troublemakers, noting that people in his jurisdiction like guns, own guns, and will be at home with their guns. And if these clowns try to burgle or set fire to houses, Sheriff Judd said, “I’m highly recommending they blow you back out of the house with their guns” (via Fox 13 Tampa Bay):

Beautiful, all LEO's should be yelling this out.

If a bad guy is coming at you with a knife, bat, firearm, or other lethal weapon, you have justification to shoot the individual to STOP the threat. NOT to murder him.

Like, shoot him in the leg?

Same deal in GA. Everyone is gunned up.

No. Bad guys need to expire, but the victim should not share that sentiment with the law since that would construe murder. “So, Mr. Smith, why did you pump seven rounds into this guys head when he was on the ground?”

Quite frankly, most will hesitate, at least for a moment, before firing a shot.
_________________________________________________________
Don’t pack unless you intend to draw, don’t draw unless you intend to shoot, don’t shoot unless you intend Kill. The decision to shoot should already be made when the moment comes and when it comes shoot center mass multiple times.
Don’t stop shooting until the pains go away.
Just conjecture and not advice. Good luck from Long Island.

Get a shovel, now you got a plan, easier to proceed with the business at hand.

Ummm... I am well aware of the decision-making process. For most people, it is unnatural to execute a living creature, especially a human unless they’ve witnessed violence. I’ve been carryIng my Sig P239 since 2006 and am a certified NRA Pistol Instructor and compete in local IPSC events.I’ve been reloading 9mm for my Sigs and HKs, and .45 for my 1911s since the Obama ammo shortage in 2010.

My buddy has a couple of those - looks kinda weird sticking out of his Glock 19, but then again, THIRTY-THREE rounds.

Took my grandson to the range in Richmond VA on Sunday. We were looking around at the gun shop and saw some 40-round mags. Grandson went "WOW!"

BTW, things in Richmond that day started getting dicey with the so-called "demonstrations". I assured my daughter that the gun range was probably the safest place to be in Richmond.

Yes, expect to see a mass exodus from cities by hip millenials who thought they wanted to live where the action was. This was not the kind of action they had in mind.

Within six months, I expect to see 60s style bombings, robberies, and shootings. Antifa is organized for that kind of revolutionary action.
