Milwaukee Sheriff Says You Have a Duty to Protect Yourself With a Firearm

Milwaukee, Wisconsin, is a liberal cesspool. Don't get me wrong. I love hanging out in Milwaukee, but it is not the friendliest place for conservative values.

A new ad from the Sheriff's Department gives hope there are still people with common sense in Milwaukee County. Knowing its southern neighbor Chicago just 80 miles down the road is having real problems with violence in the street, Sheriff David A. Clarke Jr. isn't calling for the same old gun control policies that have failed Chicago residents. Rather, he is telling Milwaukee residents to prepare to defend themselves in a radio spot that is airing throughout the Milwaukee area.




“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.”

“You have a duty to protect yourself and your family. We’re partners now. Can I count on you?”

Kudos to the Milwaukee County Sheriff for realizing the failures of Chicago and urging residents in Milwaukee to take measures to protect themselves knowing law enforcement can't.
