(by Rick Dalton, 4 December 2015) In the wake of the Islamic terrorist attack in California this week, and despite Obama’s call to restrict the use of firearms in America, law enforcement leaders are calling on their citizens to arm and fight back, being ready to stop active shooters before the police arrive. Sheriff David A. Clarke, Jr., of Milwaukee County WI, has been a longtime supporter of citizen self-protection.

Sheriffs Joe Arpaio, of Maricopa County, Arizona, Paul J. Van Blarcum of Ulster County, New York, as well as the chief of police in Detroit, James Craig, are encouraging citizens to exercise their right to defend themselves.

There were cries of “how will the cops know the good guys from the bad guys?”, if there are armed citizens on scene when police arrive. “This is the standard response of many police executives when testifying on legislative measures to allow guns on college campuses, and faculty possession on high school campuses, according to Rick Dalton, CSPOA legislative liaison.

Well, as we know from previous events, when armed citizens are on the scene from the start, the bad guys are often dead or fled before the cavalry gets there, and the good guys have holstered their weapons. If not, police and citizens will have to work out a protocol.

“It’s not a reason to prohibit Americans from protecting themselves just because the police might not be able to tell the difference”, said Sam Bushman, CSPOA VP for Operations.

It’s a whole lot more desirable than just having people lay down and die.
