Several weeks ago, still thinking about the tragic and chaotic Uvalde school shooting, I sat down with Sheriff Joe Gamble to talk about mass shooting risk, guns and policing. The Sheriff with studied confidence and humility answered our questions.
Sheriff Gamble quickly concluded that the response to the Uvalde shooting was poor and then moved on to talk about his worries for Talbot County and beyond.
The Sheriff was stern in voicing his objections to violent offenders being let out on parole or a bail-free release. And, since guns and their availability are often debated by politicians, not law enforcement officers, he adds an important dimension to the debate.
This video is approximately 16 minutes in length.

We are very fortunate to have Joe Gamble as our Sheriff.

What a wonderful interview. Judges need to see to stop the crimes and hold felons accountable till something terrible happens. These people needs to be held accountable.
Totch Hartge says
Outstanding interview. We are so fortunate to have Joe taking care of us.
Let’s try to fix what he discusses for the good of all
Thank you Talbot Spy

We hope that Talbot County and surrounding areas recognize the truth in what Sheriff Gamble says— and how fortunate we are to have Joe and each of the sheriffs in surrounding counties. All of them are excellent and professional. Would that our court system and legislature supported these and other law enforcement agencies with the accountability called for. It is up to US to make it happen at the voting booth. Thank you, Sheriff Gamble, and your colleagues.
