Sheriff Pulls Business From Dana Safety Supply Because They Stopped Selling Semi-Automatic Rifles To Civilians Dana Safety Supply, a major distributor of weapons and accessories to police departments and civilians across the United States, has declared that they will no longer sell semi-automatic rifles to civilians. Instead, they will only sell to law enforcement. This prompted Oconee County, Georgia Sheriff Scott Barry to write them an email in which he told them he would no longer be seeking them out to purchase products for his department based on their decision. This sign was photographed by a customer in Georgia as to DSS’ new policy: Sheriff Barry wrote the following email to DSS: Sirs, It is my understanding that you have stopped selling self loading rifles to members of the general public in favor of selling them to law enforcement officers only. I deeply regret that decision. As such, this agency will no longer seek bids from or purchase from DSS. Thank you for your time and attention to this email. Sheriff Scott Berry Oconee County Georgia Sheriffs Office A call to the headquarters of DSS resulted in a political answer of “we appreciate your call, but are in the midst of consulting to form a proper response.” They would neither confirm nor deny the report when called on Friday. Apparently their website and postings outside their businesses are more forthcoming than their headquarters. DSS posting on it’s website My hat is off to Sheriff Barry! In fact, Barry popped up on Fox Business for an interview. In the interview, when asked why he would not longer be purchasing from DSS, Sheriff Barry said that since law abiding citizens couldn’t purchase a legal weapon there with money they have, then he wasn’t going to “spend their tax money” at such a business and he wasn’t going to “spend his personal money there” either. Come on! This guy is my kind of Sheriff! When asked if it would “make his job easier” if “assault” rifles weren’t being sold and “out there,” Sheriff Barry responded by correcting the host that they were semi-automatic rifles, not assault rifles. He then went on to point out that there were millions of these weapons in America, but that “statistically an insignificant number of them are used to commit any kind of crime.” Sheriff Barry was right on weapons and people. “Rifles of any type just don’t bother me,” he said. “Handguns of any type just don’t bother me. The truth is that in the hands of criminals they are tools of evil, but in the vast majority of hands, they are owned by law abiding citizens.” When the host asked why take the term “assault rifle” off the table, the Sheriff responded by stating that the definition of the term is as “wide and as broad” as the building he was sitting in. The Sheriff described that an assault weapon was a military weapon that was designed for military purpose. “Semi-automatic rifles just aren’t assault rifles,” he said. “You can call them that, but that’s just not what they are.” The host then asked Barry what his reaction to the Brady campaigns’ rating of an 8 out of 100 on Georgia’s regulations on firearms was. According to the host, who was citing the Brady campaign, the reasons for the low rating was because there was “no limits on gun purchases, no required background checks for gun show purchases, and no ban on ‘assault’ weapons,” Sheriff Barry said that he was “hoping to shoot for a lower number than that.” He did address the issue of the supposed “required background checks at gun shows” by stating that “law abiding citizens can sell guns in the parking lot or on the floor of a gun show.” He doesn’t know where they get the idea that it’s required to do a background check. He was emphatic in stating that he can sell his gun to anyone else no matter where he is at. The Sheriff rightly pointed out that one goes through the same process if they buy a gun through a dealer at a gun show that someone goes through at a standard brick and mortar store to purchase a firearm. He called the Brady statement concerning gun shows a “scare tactic.” Barry said that Georgia believes in the Second Amendment and that means that law abiding citizens should be able to carry and buy firearms. The rest of the interview is good too, Please watch it below.

The county sheriff is the most important office that we decide who serves, as they are the only ones who can say NO! to the tyranny of fedgov.
“The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, intolerable.” ~ H. L. Mencken Now there's a real lawman.
Indeed. If the country had more sheriffs like that we wouldn't be hearing much about idiot feds passing "laws" to require people to register guns they already have and such bs as that. I agree. Seems to be a good example of the type of person anyone should want in that position. Company won't take the money of "civilians," ef 'em, don't anyone spend any money with them. I had breakfast with our local Sheriff a couple of days ago and asked him how he felt about the recent upsurge in lefty calls for gun confiscation or repeal of the 2nd Amendment. (I already knew the answer). He said any confiscated guns would be stored at his house ! (Just kidding). He holds conceal carry classes every weekend.
Sounds like an ok guy.
He's been the actual Sheriff for 28 years and is going to retire after this term - 4 more years. (He was a Deputy for 12 years before becoming Sheriff).
Maybe you can be the new sheriff.
I just followed the link to watch the video for this article and it's obvious that Sheriff Berry is one of the Good Guys. I only hope there are many, many, more just like him.
I'll be 66. or noone666 ! hahahaha !
It would be nice. BTW, thanks for the story and link. I forwarded both to Jack McLamb at RBN. Perhaps he can do a follow-up interview with Sheriff Berry.
Oh, you're welcome and good deal. This is a story that needs all the attention it can get. I really liked the way he set the bimbo straight about what an assault weapon was and was not. And that he would rather have a lower rating from the Brady bunch, that was good. Great idea. I just sent the faux link to both TX and GA gtdist.com - a huge supplier to both public and private buyers of ARs and related LEO gear and ammo. “The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, intolerable.” ~ H. L. Mencken Dear Customers. Over the past few days our customer service and retail staff have been overwhelmed by customer inquiries by email, phone, and in stores. Our call volume is also exceeding hardware and line capacity. The majority of the current inquiries are for products we are sold out of and are in a heavy back order situation. These inquiries are affecting our core business of supplying Public Safety Equipment to those who protect our communities. (me - ha, ha, ha!) As a temporary measure we are no longer accepting back orders on all magazines with a capacity over 10 rounds. We are also no longer accepting backorders of AR-15 or AK platform firearms, M1As, or Mini-14s. We are no longer accepting backorders on .223/5.56 ammunition. On January 7th we will re-evaluate this decision. This will not affect LE agency orders or individual LE orders supported by agency letterhead. We will strive to make this decision as short as possible as we are currently unable to get information from our suppliers on ETAs. G T Distributors is firmly committed to the firearms industry and has been since 1972. We also stand firm in our "No Price Gouging" policy. This is an automated response, please do not reply to this email.

Still good on the idea of it all. You don't get to read to many uplifting stories like this these days. ___FIRE
He might see himself not as a "law enforcement officer" but as an "officer of the peace." They used to see themselves that way a long time ago.
The interviewer at faux appears to have a trophy rack. Sheriff kicked ass. “The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, intolerable.” ~ H. L. Mencken Almost all the reporterettes on Fox have attributes like that. Not that that means they have much of a mind.
And that's a wonderful thing, if one's in a dating mode. The more mindless, the more better. (You may quote me on this one) Not quite tag-line material... “The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, intolerable.” ~ H. L. Mencken The more mindless, the more better. And lest we forget, the mo' money, the mo' better. Dear God - I guess that's where many are now.
