Sheriff: Residents should be armed, 911 not best option

By Around the Web

(Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel) In his latest radio spot, Milwaukee County Sheriff David A. Clarke Jr. tells residents personal safety isn’t a spectator sport anymore, and “I need you in the game.”

“With officers laid off and furloughed, simply calling 911 and waiting is no longer your best option,” Clarke intones.

“You could beg for mercy from a violent criminal, hide under the bed, or you can fight back.”

Clarke urges listeners to take a firearm safety course and handle a firearm “so you can defend yourself until we get there.”
