A Long Island [NY] county official is putting out a call to all licensed gun owners, looking to deputize armed residents and allowing them to respond during emergencies.
It was an advertisement in Newsday earlier in March that prompted questions, stating that Nassau County was looking for citizens to fill provisional special deputy sheriff positions. County Executive Bruce Blakeman said that the deputy sheriffs wouldn't have any authority unless a state of emergency has been declared. He said he is looking to build an army, or reinforcements, of sheriffs deputies that can only work during states of emergency – like Superstorm Sandy.
Cue the exhorations from Democrats about "The Wild West."
