What happened with this? Did my BF get a raise and not tell me? Gonna have to get that sucka.

Its bad that the deputies wives are resorting to such efforts to raise money.... about as bad as deputies expecting free meals in restaurants. Maybe they could go around to the churches to take a collection up

$5,000 you are shooting for the moon?????? You must be a democrat.

Shooter, that's already been checked into. He bought those coins with his personal money. Are you trying to start rumors.

Seems like if the Barney's need a raise that would be the Sheriff's job to lobby the commissioners. As you see our sheriff has wasted to much money on trivial stuff. I heard those coins he hands out cost over 5,000. Maybe the sheriff could have bought those bulletproof helmets with that money. Instead of him doing like every sheriff in past and negotiating in his budget, he sends his wife, the chief deputies wife, his captain's wife and lieutenant's wife to beg for stuff he should be acquiring funding for.

Other county employees should be pissed

There are other county employees to consider in this groups visiting the county commissioners. How do you give a barney a raise and not consider other county employees that didnt form a group or a union and go beg for a raise at the commissioners meeting?

Yep. It seems neither the Barney's or their wives want to talk about their little organization. If their movement is so important, you'd think they could defend it. Guess it's just an opportunistic money grab.

Crickets from the barneys

King, wouldn't that be the purest form of a well regulated militia? I think it would. I'm liking this more and more

With the exception of veterans and a handful of people that have had formal training with firearms the majority of gun owners in this county should not be allowed within a hundred yards of a firearm. I can just imagine the mayhem that would ensue if you deputized some of these yahoos to apprehend a suspect. At least it would put to rest any possibility of Ashe County becoming overpopulated.

King, the more we think the through, the more I like it. Give every volunteer deputy a pager and send call them out for emergencies. How do you think response time would be effected?

I think Fins is on to something here. We could have a Sheriff and dispatchers. Then we could have volunteer barneys just like hose jockeys. Pretty much all of the gun owners in the county outgun the barneys anyway. There are enough gunowners to keep the peace and the county would save a ton of money.

Dog, I think a good question is, are these people asking for raises for all county employees? Or just the Barneys?

Pinocchio when are you going to respond to my 5:38 post, cat got yer tongue?

Pinocchio, we've already established that Dung Beetle can't get it up and it's a sure thing you can't so why would she be begging to get laid by you two.

Dog, one of us is gonna have to give menopause a charity lay. Her begging is getting uncomfortable

The point to this is the wives of the barneys have formed up a group or union so to speak and are using the shooting of the Watauga county barneys to try and get a raise from the commissioners. Remember there are many other county employees that would deserve a raise too.

Hello

Billy, I'm fine with getting rid of all but the sheriff and a jailer, and let the sheriff deputize everyone that gets a concealed carry license.
