Sheriff Joe Issues Call To 250,000 Armed Patriots To Stop Terrorism And Mass Shootings Following the tragic mass shootings in San Bernardino, California yesterday, Sheriff Joe Arpaio is urging American gun owners in Arizona to do whatever is necessary to fight terrorist acts like these. Arpaio then went on to claim that he can no longer guarantee the publics safety and that gun owners must take their safety into their own hands. Im just talking about the areas where you have large crowds and someone pulls out the gun and starts shooting, Arpaio clarified. Maybe somebody with a concealed weapon takes the guy down. There are nearly 250,000 people in Arizona have gun permits, and some Americans are arguing that it is a terrible idea for them to add to the chaos. Sometimes its not proper to pull the trigger because the collateral damage is not worth it, Steve Henry of the Pinal County Sheriffs Office told reporters. We dont want to walk into a gun fight between anybody, much less a gun fight where people are untrained. Arpaio is standing behind his position, however. All Im saying is if its controversial, then OK, let it be controversial, but we have to protect the public, Arpaio concluded. What do you think? Do you support Sheriff Joe?
