A Sheriff Is Suggesting One Way Citizens Can Protect Themselves

  • It's important for us to be ready for anything at a moment's notice, which is why prepping and stockpiling is so crucial to survival when SHTF. This sheriff believes that getting a concealed firearms license might be another way to protect yourself and your loved ones when out and about.

    “Become proficient. Get a concealed firearms license and carry it. And if you need to shoot somebody, shoot them a lot,” Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd told WFTS.

    “The solution is if you’re going to carry a gun, then go practice to save your life with it. If you’re not someone who’s comfortable carrying a gun or don’t believe you would be comfortable defending your life, then look for an alternative solution,” Ivey said, adding that the alternative could be pepper spray, a stun gun, or another type of weapon.

    Some law enforcement officials disagree with the advice given by Ivey and Judd.

    “That’s ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous,” resident Mary Dailey told WFTS. “I’m all for your right to own a gun if you are a responsible person, but you should have to prove it.”

    Judd said that running and hiding is not a bad option, but told WFTS, “You’re responsible for protecting yourself until we arrive.”

      And yet statistically it’s proven that this is a faulty premise and doesn’t actually make anyone safer.

      There are no figures or way to project how many times just having a gun stops some thug from trying to victimize you! Often they leave out where the thug was shot dead and no crime was committed because shooting a thug trying to thug on you is NOT A CRIME!

      I like what he said; “If you have to shoot someone, shoot them a lot.”

      Being a live defendant is always preferable to being a dead plaintiff.

      “If you need to shoot somebody, shoot them a lot” haha this officer has the right idea… Like he said we’re responsible for protecting ourselves til forces gets there… an armed intruder isnt gonna stand back and wait to attack until backup arrives. Sometimes the cops cant get there in time, that’s one reason we have the right to carry in the first place. We def need to go to the range more… And practice knife defense with our trainers.
