On April 3, 2018, I published the following open letter to the Executive Board of Spokane GOP: It has come to my attention that while I was out of the country, a gentleman by the name of William Parks donated an AR-15 rifle for the Spokane Lincoln Day auction. It has also been explained to […]
Boulder, Colorado is considering a city ordinance that would ban the sale & possession of “assault weapons”, bump stocks, and magazines of over 10 rounds. I’m thinking that the next ordinance the City Council should consider is changing the name from “Boulder”, Colorado to “Crazy Town.” Or maybe changing the name to “Hey Mass Shooters! […]
I can hear the Diamond and Silk girls saying with tongue in cheek, “Oh ya honey, then we’d be as safe as folks living in Chicago on a Friday night because they have the strongest gun laws in the country. That’s right.” I also don’t hear anyone complaining about the fact that the Lone resource […]
Everyone wants to “do something” to help another human being, especially in an emergency, like an active killer in a school or other public venue. Good people want to help. While we teach CPR, first aid, how to use a fire extinguisher if conditions permit, etc., we can also teach non-cops how to use a […]
The Idaho Second Amendment Alliance did ask some interesting and important questions recently of Raul Labrador and Tommy Ahlquist. Lt. Governor Brad Little had a family emergency and could not make the event. Interesting enough is that Raul and Tommy agreed upon all the questions asked them. In other words, there was really no difference […]
It’s time that the taxpayers of Idaho wake up and take a hard look at the Idaho Swamp and the legislators who only work for themselves, the lobbyists, and the Governor. It has taken four years to get good gun rights legislation passed with concealed carry and campus carry. The last important piece is the […]
When a shocking tragedy like the recent Parkland, Florida mass school shooting takes place, the media keeps it in the headlines for days. Television inundates our senses with sights and sounds that reinforce the human emotion of the calamity while the drama is relived in front of our eyes day and night. The media milks […]
We “need to do something” about school shootings! We need “Gun Control!” What to do? I am a largely retired civilian and law enforcement trainer who now does expert witness testimony in use of force cases primarily. I have a lengthy 30 year plus background as a civilian/LE trainer throughout this country as well as […]
Too many things don’t add up regarding the Parkland shooting. The perp was visited 39 times by police (Broward Sheriff says that is a lie…it was only 23 times) The first responder LEOs waited outside. The FBI was warned and did nothing. Within 48 hours the local authorities said it would take $28.5M to level […]
With the latest, tragic shooting in Parkland, Florida, the pundits have been going at it with solutions including gun control, more mental health services, increased safety measures in schools, and the list goes on. None of these ill-conceived ideas will work. My heart breaks for those families. Having worked with troubled kids over 30 years […]
It has been three years since Idaho passed its version of campus carry and one year since Idaho passed permitless carry, and yet—despite the forecast of mass chaos from Michael Bloomberg and the rest of his Chicken Little cohorts—the sky has not fallen. Despite the general calm in Idaho, however, there have been shootings on […]
Saturday, February 25, I attended the Idaho Second Amendment rally at the Capitol in Boise. A peaceful, powerful statement of the dedication Idaho citizens feel about their right to bear arms and their First Amendment right to peacefully assemble and freely express their views. The weather was perfect, with sun blessing the event from time […]
