Florida Sheriff issues KelTec SUB2000s to School Deputies

Recommended Posts

Interesting action taken by a Sheriff in Brevard County Florida.  He wasn't happy with the time it would take deputies to get to their cars to retrieve a carbine during an emergency, so he's assigning them KelTec Sub 2000 carbines that will be strapped to their chests at all times.

"Sun Tzu says in the Art of War that 'every battle is won or lost before it is ever fought,'" said Ivy in an announcement of the new policy on social media. "What Sun Tzu meant was that you must outsmart, out strategize, out train, and out prepare your opponent long before the battle is ever fought."

Previously, Ivey's SRDs would have to identify a threat that needed their patrol rifle, then race to their car to retrieve their patrol rifle. The new level of preparedness will "gives our team members the advantage and ability to instantly address the threat with the level of force necessary to eliminate the shooter," said the Sheriff."

While cool in concept - it's still a PCC - if the perp has body armor the rounds could be stopped....

Indeed.

But it seems like the idea is to have the closest responders better able to immediately engage a threat.  A PCC is still outgunned against a .223/5.56 carbine, but MUCH better than just having a pistol.  That, combined with superior training could make a big difference.
