Florida Sheriff Considers Concealed Carry Permit Holders the “First Line of Defense”

By Jenn Jacques

Sheriff Wayne Ivey of Brevard County, FL, who has posted videos declaring “we can’t afford to sit back and wait for the next act of terrorism”, doesn’t worry about being politically correct, “just correct.”

“If you are a concealed carry permit holder, carry your guns with you. It’s not doing you any good at the house, it’s not doing you any good in the car.”

Ivey and his office advocate for what Ivey calls the four A’s of survival: Arm yourself, Awareness, Avoidance, and Attack.

“You have to be prepared to be the first line of defense,” he advises.

Their course, called Self-Defense Through Tactical Shooting and Decision Making, is designed to teach not only when to shoot, but when not to shoot as well.

The Sheriff also praises the Brevard County citizens, pointing out they protect the sheriffs as much as the sheriffs protect them.
