ATTENTION LICENSED HANDGUN OWNERS

In light of recent events that have occurred in the United States and around the world I want to encourage citizens of Ulster County who are licensed to carry a firearm to PLEASE DO SO.

I urge you to responsibly take advantage of your legal right to carry a firearm. To ensure the safety of yourself and others, make sure you are comfortable and proficient with your weapon, and knowledgeable of the laws in New York State with regards to carrying a weapon and when it is legal to use it.

I also want to remind all Police/Peace Officers both active duty and retired to please carry a weapon whenever you leave your house. We are the thin blue line that is entrusted in keeping this country safe, and we must be prepared to act at any given moment.

Thank you,

Paul J. Van Blarcum
Ulster County Sheriff

Meanwhile in New Jersey.

'You want a long gun and a handgun? Fill this paperwork out. It'll be ready in thirty days.....maybe....or not...we'll call you. Oh I see you want to carry too... Hold on....BBBBWBWBWWAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!! Here's a rape whistle.'

We need more of these.  

LEOs:  You need to get your team on board, and have them trained, and prepared, that not everyone with a gun is the bad guy.

Change starts slowly.

Seems reasonable to me.  Our federal government has manifestly failed to defend our country.  Now defense of our nation falls to our peace officers and our countrymen.

In the comments:

Glyndon Morris
To the people of Ulster County: PLEASE elect someone ELSE as your sheriff. More guns are NEVER the answer. For one thing, how will this sheriff tell the difference between YOU with YOUR gun and the bad guys with theirs? Extend that to an entire crowd being fired by a bad guy: How will your fellow citizens in the midst of that chaos tell the difference between YOU with YOUR gun and the bad guy?

The bad guys are the ones shooting at unarmed people. The good guys are the ones shooting at the bad guy. And if more guns are NEVER the answer, why do cops have them?

We don't need guns to keep us safe, just laws.  In fact, name it a nifty name like "SAFE act" and it will make us even safer.

Tompkins isn't alone, and while the red ones may be red, population-wise we are out-numbered by the Downstate contingent

Make sure he knows you support him in this.  He'll take a lot of heat from it.  Liberals from other parts of the state will no doubt call up and claim they live there and complain.

Never mind them, some of them think that no one in NYS could buy a Big Gulp.
They hear NY and think we all live South of Westchester county
I feel for the CA guys who get frustrated that everyone thinks all CA residents live in LA and SF

Outside of the larger urban shitholes (Syracuse I'm specifically looking at you, I hate that place with the burning fire of 10,000,000 suns) for the most part Upstate New York is full of pretty normal, and very nice, people. It's nothing like NYC.



Most states are like that, but NY (along with California and Illinois) the perception of "they're all liberals" tends to be more noticeable overall because they have the blight of huge cities that are major media hubs that dominate any conversation about that state. Hell there are even nice, normal and conservative people in New Jersey, sure there's like 12 of them, but they do exist. I'd be more than happy to trade all of Philly for those dozen or so too, hell I'll even throw in some donuts for Christie if that sweetens the deal...  



Anyhow, good job by that Sheriff, sounds like mine. He's of the opinion that if you have a permit, then you should carry. Of course, around here most people don't need the reminder, but it's still nice to know he thinks like that.

ITS A TARP

They want people to carry so their probability of arresting someone for a SAFE violation goes up.

Wonder how difficult it is to get a carry permit in Ulster County NY?
