[KVX]

Polk County, FL — County Sheriff Grady Judd is a peace officer who knows and appreciates the value of armed citizens. In this short video, he encourages people to get guns and become good at using them.

If you’re not afraid of a gun, get one. Become proficient. Get a concealed firearms license and carry it.

And if you need to shoot somebody, shoot ’em a lot.

He also notes that “the armed assailant doesn’t plan on you fighting back. He plans on having a gun, doing all the shooting, and you’re just the sitting duck.”

Well the ducks need to shoot back.



Florida Sheriff's advice: "If you need to shoot somebody, shoot ‘em a lot”

“The armed assailant doesn’t plan on you fighting back,” said Sheriff Grady Judd. “He plans on having a gun, doing all the shooting, and you’re just a sitting duck. Well, the ducks need to shoot back.”

The problem with emptying the magazine is it becomes problematic when presented to a jury if you get jammed up.

"The defendant, Joe Smith fired 18 rounds, every bullet in his gun and then reloaded firing 15 more at the poor guy who was trying to rob him and rape his dog... that is depraved indifference to life ...."

a better scenario is "my client had been attacked and was in fear of his life, he drew his weapon and fired three times until the threat was stopped"

IANAL but you shoot until the threat is stopped, no more, no less.

Shoot until the target changes shape or catches fire!

He was still twitching after I emptied the 1st magazine.

There is a little more to his message: He is training school staff and students on how to handle an active shooter situation.

The Sheriff is actively involved with firearm education at the nearby Southeastern University.
He has helped properly train both educators and students and if there is an active shooter scenario on campus any trained faculty are deputized.
