I was unaware of this information... that a elected Sheriff was on the scene? or at least that is the claim here... Ft Collins, CO –-(Ammoland.com)- “The Lawman came with the sun. There was a job to be done. And so they sent for the badge and the gun Of the Lawman. And, as he silently rode, Where evil violently flowed, They knew he’d live or he’d die by the Code Of the Lawman. A man who rides all alone And all that he’ll ever own, Is just a badge and a gun, and he’s known As the Lawman” ~ Theme from “The Lawman” TV series, from 1958-1962, starring Dan Russell The foregoing put into words the ideal that persuaded me that I was born to be a cop! That is the image that I aspired to. “Lawman” was the title I bore with a fierce pride, and still do! Those principles of personal honor and duty are now obsolete, I’m told by liberal friends. They’re all dying, and I’m sure I’ll die with them! Illustrated by the events of 23 Sept 16 in Washington State: An elected “sheriff” found himself unarmed and unable to protect himself, his wife, and five other innocent citizens who were shot to death, in his presence, at a shopping mall, by a Turkish-born murderer. This “sheriff” wasn’t carrying a gun that day, and thus found himself every bit as helpless as the rest of the herd of clueless sheep wandering about the mall. In the aftermath, our “sheriff” pathetically bleated: “I wish that I had been armed and proactively done something…” Yes sheriff, don’t we all. Our “sheepdog” was asleep at the switch! But, like all self-righteous hypocrites, he now is doing his best to “ justify” his personal cowardice and incompetence. He is a disgrace to our profession, and our Code! He should resign in shame and go back to eating grass, but in our “enlightened” era, he’ll be praised by our liberal, gun-hating media. For those few sheepdogs among us who still take our oath and Code seriously, going armed is not an “option.” It is a way of life. “Lawman” is not what we do. It is what we are! /John The Lawman's Code! Read more: The Lawman's Code! Under Creative Commons License: Attribution Follow us: @Ammoland on Twitter | Ammoland on Facebook
Good read and so sad that so many have been convinced that being armed is bad . We need more proactive sheepdogs.
Unarmed and defenseless, But...They have their cell phones so they can take that Youtube vid that gets 10,000,000 hits!! My God.. He doesn't require a carry permit and goes out defenseless.
