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 |
| They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.— Benjamin Franklin Historical Review of Pennsylvania. [Note: This sentence was often quoted in the Revolutionary period. It occurs even so early as November, 1755, in an answer by the Assembly of Pennsylvania to the Governor, and forms the motto of Franklin's "Historical Review," 1759, appearing also in the body of the work. — Frothingham: Rise of the Republic of the United States, p. 413. ] |
