Dale Peterson gained some internet fame a couple months ago for cutting an ad in his campaign for Alabama Agricultural Commissioner, co-starring his rifle and his horse.

Well, Peterson lost, and his opponents are campaigning in a runoff. But he’s back to warn any “thugs and criminals” out there that he might just take out anyone who tries to steal his former opponent John McMillan’s yard signs.

Peterson is endorsing McMillan ahead of the July 13 runoff, and in the new ad, stands guard by a McMillan campaign sign. When an actor, apparently playing the role of a “criminal,” tries to steal the sign in broad daylight, Peterson fires off a warning shot.

He then issues this warning, punctuated by a cock of his rifle: “I’d better not catch any thugs or criminals stealing his yard signs.”
