Brevard County Sheriff Wayne Ivey Gets It Right

Sherriff Ivey’s “common sense” approach is a welcome and refreshing change from the “Only Ones” attitudes and efforts to undermine the right to keep and bear arms that we’ve noted recently from the Fraternal Order of Police “leadership.” That “us vs. them” approach is promulgated by all too many politically-motivated police chiefs who put their personal professional exclusivity before their oaths to support the Constitution.
I applaud the Sheriff’s candor and commitment to the constitution. Now he needs to work in Florida to repeal the concealed carry permitting process and legalize open carry.
As for the matter of “run, hide and tell,” the U.K. simply copied our very own DHS stupidity with a little modification of their own, ours being run, hide and fight. And as for the matter of all of those dumbass corporations who forbid their employees from carrying weapons on the premises, they may be answering to a jury latter on those hundreds of employees killed on the job by an active shooter from which no one could defend because they were unarmed. If that does happen, and it eventually will in America, may the corporation become an example by going bankrupt from the class action settlement. I have absolutely no sympathy for such a corporation.

Police chiefs are political animals beholden to the city officials who nominate them.
County sheriffs are beholden to the voters who elect them.
There’s a WORLD of difference between the two. I for one appreciate the occasional dose of hard, brutal honesty we get from good sheriffs, that you will never hear from police chiefs.

Don’t hold your breath waiting for that class-action settlement. At the end of the day, the overwheling majority of the blackrobed umpires you will be assigned still earn their paychecks from the opposing team.
