Born Hunter 17,832 Posted August 28, 2020 Report Share Posted August 28, 2020 I think the intricacies of the US system of law enforcement is interesting and I think it's what leads to Sheriffs being able to talk like that. He'll be an elected official right, elected by his constituents totally separate from the agendas of politicians, state and federal? If the people of his county/jurisdiction elected him to support their 2A rights then he can do exactly that and no politician or higher up can stop him. If that was a Chief in the UK, they'd be packing their desk within the day. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rickshaw swami 4,191 Posted August 28, 2020 Report Share Posted August 28, 2020 Our sheriff's here are elected by the people of the county.Our sheriff allowed chicken derbies until about 10 years ago. We took a sheriff's deputy hoghunting and he brought us all a jug of shine.I have been to a chicken derby where a sherriffs deputy was collecting entry fees They will help you change a flat tire on the side of the road or a little old lady with groceries. Don't underestimate them if you cooking meth or stealing they will simply shoot you.Ive been caught red-handed hunting and fishing by them and they will laugh and tell me to be safe.These men are elected by the local people as I believe it should be. 12 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I remember being a kid driving down the road with my mother and seeing the chain gang picking up dirty diapers and condoms from side of the road.Then I recognized my uncle out there It left an impression on my mind.In my young mind I thought he was gonna end up like Cool hand Luke the movie. I probably got in less trouble simply from seeing that as a kid. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If you and your mate rob someone's house and your mate gets shot dead by the occupant, or anyone really, but you escape, you're going down for his murder! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Meece 1,958 Posted August 28, 2020 Report Share Posted August 28, 2020 I think that there is a high possibility of fried scaffolder here. It is thundering and lightening outside and a gang of blokes have arrived to take some steel scaffolding down. The rain is thrashing down like stair rods and it's just boom, boom, boom. If they don't get roasted they'll drown. Silly b*****ds. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
