Here in Arizona, we have some pretty cool sheriffs – see Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu and Cochise County Sheriff Larry Dever. We also have some stinkers, like Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik. But in South Carolina, Sheriff Chuck Wright may have just become the coolest sheriff ever.
After a brutal attack by a repeat offender, Sheriff Wright urged women to walk in groups and get concealed weapons permits.
Here are some of my favorite quotes:
“Carry a concealed weapon. That’ll fix it.”
“It’s too bad someone with a concealed weapons permit didn’t walk by. That would fix it.”
“I want you to get a concealed weapons permit.” (He said this several times)
“(Gun control is) how fast can you can get the barrel of your gun back on the target?”
“I want you to get a concealed weapons permit. Don’t get Mace. Get a firearm.”
And finally:
“I think I better stop before I get sanctioned.”
On second thought, everything he said is one of my favorite quotes ever. No, Sheriff Wright…don’t stop.
Watch the crime drop in his area… When will states like Maryland catch up? I want this sheriff to move to Baltimore.
Dupnik needs to be fired. This guy is awesome!
Hey! I live in Spartanburg County, SC.
Maybe I should start looking for work in SC. I’m in VA, so not too bad. Sorry George, MD will never catch-up unless maybe eastern and western MD split off from the cesspool that is Baltimore County and PG County and whatever ones I missed in between.
Good sheriff! Bad writer… Can’t believe what gets published on news sites these days. I would have been embarrassed to turn in that article to my high-school English teacher.
Had a pal’s father-in-law who is ex-LE over who was talking the same talk. They can’t be our 24/7 bodyguards.
😀
Time to leave the people’s republic of Maryland and move to AZ. It’ll be interesting to watch the crime rates in DC now that residents are allowed to conceal and carry.
