As ex-army, I saw some action in Afghanistan, nothing very heroic to the level of making a movie, like Black Hawk down, just doing my duty. But, we learnt how to shoot, accurately, none of this spray and pray stuff from the ‘Nam War. Thus, if my family is threatened, I will execute my God-given, constitutional right of self defense of my life and that of my family, especially my disabled wife, who cannot defend herself. I have numerous legal guns, and tens of thousands of rounds of legal ammunition, which I can have under US law, and the laws of my home state, Florida, although it is not as good as some states, but good enough for this old southerner:
“Florida law does not:
• Impose a minimum age for the purchase or possession of ammunition, although federal minimum age requirements apply;
• Require a license for the sale of ammunition;
• Require a license for the purchase or possession of ammunition;
• Require sellers of ammunition to maintain a record of the purchasers;
• Require the safe storage of ammunition; or
• Restrict the locations where ammunition may be carried.”

My home state of Florida also embraces the “castle doctrine,” big time, where one does not have to retreat in one’s home , and since 2005, even outside one’s home. So, antifa home invaders need to think twice in states like Florida. Go riot in California, no-one cares if that socialist cesspool goes down, least of all the socialists who run it into the ground.

“Consider yourself “warned” America. It’s not just a home invasion “thriller” movie anymore; it’s the beginning of the litmus test for Socialist “Democrat” tyranny. How much will YOU tolerate? On Twitter, the paid-to-destroy people and property organization and extreme Left … Antifa announced that they would be moving into the residential areas tonight, because they’re already bored with the mega-city demolition and mayhem they’ve caused. “F-the City” they decry, as groups in Portland announced gathering locations right in the middle of middle-class suburbia-style residential “hoods,” nowhere near downtown, to “take what’s ours” – whatever that means (probably your money, all your belongings, and your wife and kids to sell on the slave trade dark web). Twitter shut it all down. Still, millions of screen shots of the posts are flooding truth media. Proof Trump’s right about the label as a terrorist organization the military needs to handle, head on. These freaks are talking about home invasions in suburbs, beginning tonight. They’re already burning churches. What’s next? Mass rape and murder, like in the Purge movie series?”
Look, this is how some of our sheriffs are:

“A Florida sheriff took to Facebook to let everyone out there know that although he supports peaceful protests, he won’t tolerate riots and is “highly recommending” residents shoot any looter who tries to break into their homes. Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd took to social media Monday to discuss police brutality protests the day before, stemming from the death of George Floyd -- a black man who died after a Minneapolis officer pinned his knee to his neck. While most of the demonstrations remained peaceful, some so much so that a law enforcement presence wasn’t needed, there was a group Sunday that began blocking traffic and got out of control.
Judd issued a warning to those protesters, who authorities believed traveled to Polk County from out of the area. “Let there be no misunderstanding, at all, that if you come here to riot, to loot, to injure people, we’re going to lock you up in the county jail before quick,” Judd said. He displayed pictures of two men he described as rioters, one wearing clothing designed to keep out chemical agents and the other standing on a car with the windows smashed out. He said people like those men are distinctly different from the peaceful protesters who have been exercising their right to free speech. My heart is full with gratitude for our community today. Monday night we had zero incidents of protest-related violence.
There were three protests in Polk County—all were peaceful—there was no sign of outside agitators. Yesterday, Chief Ruben Garcia and I, along with Reverend Arthur Johnson and community leader Don Brown spoke to the media about our community-wide commitment to peaceful assembly in Polk County. During the news conference I reminded everyone: “Let there be no misunderstanding, at all, that if you come here to riot, to loot, to injure people, we’re going to lock you up in the county jail before quick.” I also said: “The message is clear, if you come here to peaceably assemble and protest, we’re gonna make sure we protect your constitutional right to do that and we encourage it. But for those who want to come in, stealthily, among those wonderful people who are simply making their position known, the ones that tried to infiltrate, we are going to hunt you down and lock you up if you engage in any criminal conduct." And, I told those at the meeting that we had received information on social media that some folks were threatening to take their criminal conduct into the neighborhoods. That’s not a good idea in Polk County: “I would tell them, if you value your life, they probably shouldn’t do that in Polk County. Because the people of Polk County like guns, they have guns, I encourage them to own guns, and they’re going to be in their homes tonight with their guns loaded, and if you try to break into their homes to steal, to set fires, I’m highly recommending they blow you back out of the house with their guns. So, leave the community alone.” My thanks go out to those who helped organize the peaceful protests in Polk County. This is a great, safe, peace-loving community. I am also thankful for our great Lakeland Police Department and other law enforcement partners for their professional work, and our own men and women who were out in force Sunday and Monday nights, keeping our community safe. As always, if you need us we are here. God bless, Grady
I could not put it better myself.
