A cop who gets it.

From a law enforcement officer on the complete opposite end of the spectrum from Daniel Harless:

“One of the things I love about living in Texas is the Texas Castle Law,” Ingram said.

“I can guarantee you that if someone breaks into my house, I’m going to shoot him,” he said.

“I really mean what I said, if burglars don’t want to get shot, then they need to stop breaking into people’s homes,” said the Sheriff.

Amen, Sheriff. We need more like you and fewer like Daniel Harless in law enforcement.

Oath keeping before Oath Keepers...

Is Sheriff Alderden really subverting the CSU gun ban?

Jim Alderden is back in the news.

From a surprisingly pro self-defense post on HuffPo:

After the Colorado State University Board of Governors voted to ban guns and other weapons at the Pueblo and Fort Collins campuses, Alderden went on record with the Colorado Springs Gazette to say that he would do all he could to undermine what he considers a dangerous policy. That includes refusing to book otherwise compliant concealed-carry holders who are arrested by CSU-Fort Collins campus cops into his jail, and testifying on behalf of them in court.

It's good to hear that Alderden hasn't changed his position. But I think "undermine" and "subvert" are the wrong words. These are the same scare words the anti-gunners used when gun manufacturers complied with the 1994 Assault Weapons Ban.

Regardless of the action (or inaction) Alderden takes, CSU's gun ban will still stand. It will not be undermined or subverted. CSU will retain the right to take whatever action they deem appropriate against a student who violates the ban. What Alderden is doing is refusing to take legal action against someone who isn't breaking the law and for that, he should be applauded.

And I love this quote from Alderden:

"You would think people involved in academia would want to deal in data and experience, but this has been all about emotion."

Indeed, Sheriff. Emotionalism is ware of the gun control movement and thank you for not buying it.

Bad weather is not an excuse to confiscate guns.

Sorry, Bill. A state of emergency is when you need your gun the most. Especially in an emergency like Katrina where the police tucked tail and ran (or became looters themselves).

Taking guns from people who aren't breaking the law does not control looting. Luckily, such an act is now illegal.

An Oath Breaker...

Detective Rod Tuason is an Oath Breaker; The complete opposite of an Oath Keeper.

"Haha, we had one guy last week try to do it!" Tuason replied, referring to a Redwood City man who strolled into the Mi Pueblo Food Center in East Palo Alto on Jan. 27 with a gun on his hip. "He got proned out and reminded where he was at and that turds will jack him for his gun in a heartbeat!"

Being that this is in The People's Republik of Kalifornia, which turds would that be? The ones who ride in the back of the police car or the ones who ride up front? If it weren't for the uniforms and badges, i'd have a hard time telling which is which.

After several more comments in the thread, Tuason apparently joked that officers should shoot the advocates, who have made recent headlines throughout the Bay Area for sipping coffee at cafes and performing other everyday acts with visible weapons.
"Sounds like you had someone practicing their 2nd amendment rights last night!" Tuason wrote. "Should've pulled the AR out and prone them all out! And if one of them makes a furtive movement ... 2 weeks off!!!"

And it's the open carry people who are dangerous and intimidating? The gun controllers lost their collective mind when Chris Broughton simply carried an AR-15. What will they say about Rod Tuason wanting to gun down people with his?

As usual The Brady Campaign's silence will be deafening, as this fine uniform wearing turd is one of their Chosen Ones, whose badge is a magical talisman that imbues him with the self-control to openly carry an assortment of weaponry in public.

The Rod Tuasons of the world are more dangerous than any open carrier. He's the type of authoritarian, jack-booted, oath-breaking turd the gun controllers rely upon to enforce their civilian disarmament agenda.

Oath Keeping in action.

Taken from the Oath Keepers' "Declaration Of Orders We Will Not Obey".

1. We will NOT obey orders to disarm the American people.

The attempt to disarm the people on April 19, 1775 was the spark of open conflict in the American Revolution. That vile attempt was an act of war, and the American people fought back in justified, righteous self-defense of their natural rights. Any such order today would also be an act of war against the American people, and thus an act of treason. We will not make war on our own people, and we will not commit treason by obeying any such treasonous order.

Nor will we assist, or support any such attempt to disarm the people by other government entities, either state or federal.

Via the St. Louis Gun Rights Examiner, here is an example of Oath Keeping in action.

The Larimer County Sheriff will refuse to help enforce any concealed carry ban at CSU, student government officials said Wednesday, but permit holders packing heat and the Sheriff's office have little to worry about if student government has any say in the matter.

At its weekly Senate meeting, the Associated Students of CSU passed a resolution supporting the school's existing policy allowing concealed weapons on campus by a vote of 21-3, with one senator abstaining.

[ . . . ]

During discussion of the resolution, Sen. David Ambrose, who helped draft the document, read an e-mail statement by Larimer County Sheriff Jim Alderden saying Alderden's office would "not hold or detain a valid permit holder who violates that policy, nor would his department have anything to do with enforcing that policy."

Alderden also said he did not believe unelected university officials have any authority to enact such a ban, which would "directly counter" Colorado law.

Good job, Sheriff Alderden.

Now if the time ever comes when the government, either state or federal, attempts to deny people the right of self-defense, let's hope Sheriff Alderden and other LEOs take that same stand.
