I have not always supported Sheriff Arpio. But he has done the right thing here. I have to give credit where credit is due, and I wonder if previous thoughts about Sheriff Joe have been colored by misinformation from the media cartel.

Great guy, Obamas enemy so you know he is great.

I don’t know if he would feel up to doing it, but there has to be a place for Joe in a Trump administration.

He’s got it here

. . . and I wonder if previous thoughts about Sheriff Joe have been colored by misinformation from the media cartel.

You're just now asking this question. I give pretty high marks to the integrity and intelligence of the Freepers. But for those just now figuring out the media constantly lies about Sheriff Joe--my sheriff . . . It is to laugh.

>>”I’m asking for that group to make sure that if some violent activity occurs that they take action to defend themselves, and also the people around them until law enforcement shows up,” said Arpaio.<<

Am I being presumptuous when I assume that if someone takes action to defend the people around them, that they will not be held responsible if a bystander is unintentionally wounded or killed?

The same immunity that law enforcement currently has should be passed onto the citizen who uses a firearm to defend other citizens.

I carry to defend myself and my family. Not restaurant owners or store keepers or business owners. Why do I maintain this restriction? Because I seriously doubt that they will kick in a single dollar towards my legal expenses resulting from me disabling a criminal who was threatening their establishment.
