Strong statements from Hughes Springs Police Chief Randy Kennedy captured national news last week with a Facebook video urging local and U. S. citizens to get an open carry permit and arm themselves stating “be ready when the wolf comes to the door because it’s on its way.”
“This is not a call for an armed uprising against the President of the United States of America,” said Chief Kennedy. “This is a call for citizens to legally arm themselves for protection.” As he watched the President’s speech on Sunday, Dec. 6, he waited to hear what the President would offer in the way of measures to protect the local, rural communities.
