This sheriff, in Milwaukee Wisconsin of all places, makes sense.

A Wisconsin sheriff has stirred controversy this week after releasing a radio ad urging Milwaukee-area residents to learn to handle firearms so they can defend themselves while waiting for police.

‘I need you in the game,’ he says.

More, with video, and 30 second radio ad/PSA.
