It's Florida Sheriff Grady Judd's duty to protect the citizens of Polk County -- but he figures it's their job, too.
One of a growing number of rural and big-city law enforcement officials who openly encourages responsible gun ownership, Judd believes guns allow citizens to defend themselves when police cannot.
“If you are foolish enough to break into someone’s home, you can expect to be shot in Polk County,” Judd said in a statement after a homeowner shot a would-be home invader earlier this month. “It’s more important to have a gun in your hand than a cop on the phone."

ReplyDeleteMusic to my ears. It's the same way here, and most of the counties around me. It's mostly rural/farmland, and the would-be thieves understand they will most likely be shot if they get caught, day or night. Makes everybody happy but the thieves.

The dumbest place to attempt a robbery would be out in the country on someone's farm.
