Georgia Law Enforcement

GOAL HAS BEEN MET!
DONATE HERE: GeorgiaLEO.org/supporters
A huge thank you to everyone who helped us reach our goal to cover Officer Garrett Rolfe’s legal fees and personal expenses, but THE FIGHT IS NOT OVER! Our goal in these fundraisers is never to get someone rich off of publicly donated funds, but rather to do exactly as we stated in the initial fundraiser. So now that Officer Rolfe’s legal expenses have been met, his stresses eased, and a financial burden for his family lifted; it is now time to start phase II of the fundraiser.

As many of you have seen in the media lately, Officers are not being afforded their Due Process and their “leaders” are not stepping up to the plate when they’re needed. This is where we come in.

DONATE HERE: GeorgiaLEO.org/supporters

The Georgia Law Enforcement Organization (501c3) general fund is our in-house fund that is used when officer’s experience a life-changing event. Whether that is an on-duty injury, illness, wrongful criminal prosecution, or death; we step in to cover those initial costs for the family as it may take several weeks/months for their actual benefits to kick into action.

More than ever, these officers need your help and it’s time for the silent majority to make it known that the majority DOES care about law enforcement officers.

If you can’t afford to donate, we understand, and sharing this post among your friends/followers is just as helpful!

Thank you,
Greg James
Founder/Executive Director
Georgia Law Enforcement Organization

OPPOSE SB 12, 22, 35, 69, 70, 240, 450, 505, 543, 615!

SB 12, 22, 35, 69, 70, 240, 450, 505, 543, 615 are all gun-control bills that affect Virginia's law-abiding gun owners, NOT criminals. Virginia's gun owners are tired of being the target of gun co...

Virginia SB-16, a bill filed by the incoming Democrat Senate majority leader will make instant felons out of tens of thousands of Virginians, including me. I realize many people want something done on gun violence, their kids safe at school. We all do. There are things that can and should be done. However, making law abiding Virginians felons is a horrible and dangerous response. It must be defeated. Please share.

· Any semi-automatic pistol with capacity of 10 or more rounds are banned.

Train, train , train. Victory favors the prepared.

We have seen a horrific increase in police officers being shot nationwide. 225 police officers have been shot so far this year, which is a nearly a 20% increase over last. The violence against police officers in this country must end. #EnoughIsEnough #SickAndTired

Hybrid Defensive Strategies, LLC

So Gov. Northam says he wants "common sense" legislation to prevent a recurrence of the VB shooting last week. Let's take a look at his proposals:

Universal background checks - the shooter bought from an FFL and passed not only the standard NICS checks, but the ATF's NFA checks as well

One handgun a month - the shooter bought the two handguns he used over 2 years apart

Red flag bill - the shooter had no obvious red flags that would have been covered under this legislation, at least not that have been revealed to date

Banning guns in government buildings - the shooter was a government employee and had badge access to the building. Let's be honest, if there was a ban, he would have walked right past the "No Guns" sign, badged himself in, and still killed his coworkers

Banning silencers - there is no real evidence that the presence of a silencer made the shooting any worse, despite Northam's claims. Multiple witnesses have said they heard the shots, even outside the building

Banning "extended magazines" - there was no one in the building to shoot back. It took the police at least 8 minutes to engage the shooter. He had free reign to roam halls and shoot his coworkers for 8 minutes. I don't say that to bash the police officers, only to point out that it really wouldn't matter if he had 5 round or 25 round magazines. All he had to do was walk around and shoot, free to reload as necessary

Northam has been anti-gun for years, as have both VA senators that have issued statements supporting his efforts. He has trotted out the exact same agenda for every mass shooting anywhere in the US for as long as he has been a politician. It is incredibly unlikely that any of his proposals would have done anything to prevent the shooting, but that isn't stopping him from trotting them out again.
