Florida Sheriff Wayne Ivey is urging all good guys to get guns to protect themselves from terrorism. He said:
If a terrorist attack or active shooter scenario can happen in California, Texas, South Carolina, or Paris, it can happen right here in our own back yard.
In a special First Coast News article, Sheriff Ivey expressed his concerns and why he wants residents to be armed.
Ivey stated:

He went on to say:
Like each of you, I have had enough of terrorists and other deciding to target U.S. citizens because they want to make a statement or get their 15 minutes of fame. I believe that the fear of terrorism is much larger and encompassing than the terrorists themselves.
Ivey also encouraged media outlets across the United States to stop reporting on terrorist attacks and giving them the attention the seek.
He pointed out what a lot of us already know: on average it takes four minutes for law enforcement to arrive on the scene. During that four minutes terrorists or attackers can kill a lot of people.
What annoys him the most is that current elected officials are not addressing the situation responsibly. They are more worried about being politically correct then protecting citizens.
His solution: “target” terrorists:
the only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun. If you are a person who is legally licensed to carry a firearm, not is the time more than ever to realize that you and you alone may very well be the first line of defense for you, your family, and others around you in a terrorist or active shooter based scenario.
