2. Looney tunes....
Guns, guns and more guns. So if everyone in Polk county has a gun, that includes the "bad guys?" Whats to stop them from getting the jump on the "good guys" and gunning them down and taking their shit, if everyone has guns? And just what is a "good guy" anyway? Some recent examples of c&c folks lead me to conclude they're not to be trusted with kitchen knives, much less firearms. Maybe they'll all just get into one great big drunken brawl, shoot each other and rid us of their presence. One can hope.

3. Polk County has always been known for armed sheriff's posse lynch mobs and Klan activity.
"Polk County ranked 21st in the South and third in Florida for lynchings between Reconstruction, following the Civil War, and the years immediately after World War II. At least 20 black men were hanged, burned and/or shot repeatedly within days of being accused of a crime and almost always without the benefit of trial."

4. The sheriff does have a point
Dont expect kid glove treatment if you break into homes or shoot at officers.

5. I live in the county next to him. I think he is a nut and a BIG
TV wanna-be-star. If anybody in Polk County sneezes, he is on tv talking about it. Repulsive man.
