If you kill someone, we might kill you back: Sheriff welcomes visitors with ominous warning
An unconventional welcome sign greets visitors in western Georgia.
It stands suitably outside the Harris County Sheriffs Office, only a stones throw from the Alabama border, addressing would-be criminals and warning them not to cross the locals.
Welcome to Harris County, Georgia, it reads, sarcastically adding: Our citizens have concealed weapons. If you kill someone, we might kill you back. We have ONE jail and 356 cemeteries. Enjoy your stay! -Sheriff Mike Jolley.
The sheriff said its his saucy way of welcoming people to his county, while, at the same time, warning them that a number of the citizens exercise their right to bear arms.
