I live in Santa Rosa County in the Florida Panhandle... and a pretty regular customer of the pen was doing his thing. Here the county Sheriff lets us know what he things about the homeowners who shot at (and missed) when the guy was breaking into their homes.
"I guess they think they did something wrong, which they did not. If someone's breaking into your house, you're more than welcome to shoot them in Santa Rosa County. We prefer that you do, actually. So, whoever that was, you're not in trouble, come see us. We have a gun safety class we put on every other Saturday. If you take that, you'll shoot a lot better, and hopefully you'll save the taxpayers money."
It reminds me of when I lived in Camden County in Missouri. It can take 15 minutes for a Deputy to respond to a call... by the time they get there it is all over. Though, I have never heard of a Sheriff publicly encouraging people to take the shot.
