Range time and duty-pistol talk with American Sheriff MARK LAMB

摘要

Southeast of Phoenix, Arizona, in the beautiful Sonoran Desert lies Pinal County. It is the exact image many people conjure up in their minds when they think of Arizona; saguaro cactus, rolling desert and stark terrain. The law in this setting for a cowboy Western is none other than Sheriff Mark Lamb. Complete with cowboy hat, this tall, larger-than-life lawman has become known as the American Sheriff. He was elected as the 24th sheriff of Pinal County in 2017. Lamb oversees a county the size of Connecticut and manages more than 650 employees within the department. Pinal County is in my backyard and, with little more than a polite request, Sheriff Lamb agreed to meet me on the range to talk guns, law enforcement and where it is all headed. Lamb was born and raised in Hawaii, but his roots are firmly planted in Chandler, Arizona, where he went to junior high and graduated from Chandler High School. This deep connection to Arizona is what has earned him his popularity with not only residents of Pinal County, but also with people around the country.
