Spartanburg, SC
Spartanburg County Sheriff Chuck Wright says all women should take gun safety / concealed weapons classes and get their concealed weapon permit. (If I lived in Spartanburg County, this Sheriff would certainly have my vote.)
It would seem that the Sheriff is very frustrated with the criminal justice system in general and how it manages to put repeat offenders back on the street only for them to continue to commit violent crimes.
One particular scumbag by the name of Walter Maurice Lance, was charged with kidnapping, criminal sexual conduct, and grand larceny in the attack of a woman in Milliken Park. This is not the first time this pervert has committed such violent crimes. This article shows some of his criminal history.
The Sheriff tells women to get their concealed weapons permit and to tote a .45 cal. While I do not agree with that weapon choice, I'm all for women to use something a little more powerful than a can of mace or pepper spray. You see, in South Carolina, a person can use deadly force in the commission of a dangerous felony and in self defense. The person who is lawfully defending themselves would not face criminal or civil action. The Sheriff is essentially telling women to take up arms and defend themselves. Hoo-rah!
Kudos to you Sheriff for speaking out. Rant or no rant, you have taken a decidedly hard stance for our 2nd amendment rights and we salute you.
I must take issue with some points of this article as it does not accurately explain the CWP requirements. For further info, follow this link.
As a firm believer that law abiding citizens should have the right to own or possess a gun, and as an instructor, I must say that empowering women to take such actions is one step closer to lowering the crime rate.

Finally, a LEO who is quoted in the paper that advises women to arm themselves. My thanks to that sheriff for his honesty.
For every LEO like Chuck Wright I'll bet there are 99 others who advocate self-defense and advise people to arm themselves, but will never be quoted in commercial media.
What really bothers me are the self-defense classes that promise to teach women (or anyone) unarmed combat techniques that will keep them safe from attackers. Five one-hour classes later every single student is unarmed and deadly...
Thanks for the post, Older School.
