That was a fundamental message of a detailed four-hour class on Self-Defense and the Law given last month by the Okanogan County Sheriff’s Office, in partnership with the county prosecutor.
Okanogan County Sheriff’s Deputy Michael Blake, a certified instructor who also trains sheriff’s deputies and leads safety trainings in county offices, reminded the 135 attendees to think about the criminal, civil and emotional ramifications of their actions. “You’re there to stop them. And then you stop — don’t keep shooting. Your ultimate goal is to be safe, not to hurt the person,” said Blake. |

TO REMEMBER |
Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom of Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any bands of regular troops that can be, on any pretense, raised in the United States. — Noah Webster in "An Examination into the Leading Principles of the Federal Constitution," 1787, in Paul Ford, ed., Pamphlets on the Constitution of the United States, at p. 56 (New York, 1888). |
