A Sheriff in Georgia put up a sign letting visitors to his county know that citizens there have concealed weapons, and would use them to defend themselves.
That sign, which cost him $553 to make, read “WARNING: Harris County is politically incorrect. We say: Merry Christmas, God Bless America and In God We Trust. We salute our troops and our flag. If this offends you… LEAVE!” according to the Caller.
On his Facebook page, Jolley shared a post with a photo of another sign, which appears to be in the same location near his headquarters. It reads, “This office fights against discrimination in all forms, but we stand for the flag and kneel to pray.” The photo was posted by a local resident in October 2017 but shared by Jolley just recently.
“I spent 20 years in the Army to give everyone the right to disagree with me or anyone else,” Jolley said in that interview. “Hopefully, if they disagree, they can voice that opinion. But if it offends them, truly offends them, maybe they’re in the wrong country.”
He told “Fox & Friends” that nobody decided to move because of the sign, but instead, more people have expressed interest in moving into the county. He has also received money in support of the sign, and residents have wanted to put the message on shirts and yard signs.
“I’ve been in office a long time,” Jolley told the Post, “so I like to stir the pot.”
