It is like a breath of fresh air to have Joe Biden gone and President Trump in the White House. Unfortunately, we here in Colorado still have the gun-grabbers in the legislature and the chief gun-grabber, Jered Polis in the governor’s mansion. The Biden administration bragged that violent crime rates had plummeted to a 50 […]
Report 59, Thoughts on President Trump’s Inauguration Day
My wife opined a few minutes ago that every four years, inauguration day should be a holiday; not in the same vein as Christmas, New Year’s Day, or 4th of July, but as a day of prayer to lift up our new president and our country, no matter what party. The United States are more […]
Report 58, Colorado Ramifications of the 2024 Election
I know it is a foregone conclusion that my home state, Colorado, is deep blue. Looking at the results of the 2024 general election, the results confirm this fact. However, I find it insulting that my fellow Coloradans have bought into the idea that it is okay to murder unborn children, and made a constitutional […]
Report 57: More Thoughts on Training
This report is directed to anyone who volunteers, or is paid, to protect a faith-based organization; but it could easily apply to anyone who is part of an organization tasked with protection. When you train and are certified as a cyber security operator, I would argue that if you don’t study your craft a minimum […]
Report 56, Your First Gun
Most of my students take the Basic Pistol course so that they can apply for their Concealed Handgun Permit (CHP). Obviously, I have no problem with that. I tell all of my basic students, “If you don’t currently own a handgun, do not go our and buy one before coming to class.” The reason I […]
Report 55, Taxes
Well, how did you make it through tax-day? I’m sure you are just as thrilled as me how our tax dollars are being used. I’ll just hit some of the highlights. Afghanistan: $1.4B Burma (Myanmar, a repressive dictatorship): $208M Congo (Brazzaville, a repressive dictatorship): $10M Congo (Kinshasa, a repressive dictatorship): $907M Cuba (a repressive dictatorship): […]
Report 53: The Malaise of America
Over the past three years I have watched my beloved country, the United States of America sink from a high level of national prosperity and world-wide respect to the laughing stock of the modern world. The primary reason for this degradation can be boiled down to one culprit, the American politician. When I look at […]
Report 52: Repressive Colorado Gun Laws
There are currently 25 states in the US who have Constitutional Carry; that means that you do not have to have a permit to carry your every-day concealed handgun. Three more states are rapidly moving forward to joining this list, Florida, Nebraska, and South Carolina. That will make 28 states who understand the value of […]
Report 52 More on Training
There was a very interesting article in the May/June issue of the Concealed Carry (USCCA) magazine. The article discussed the concept of a Concealed Handgun Permit (CHP) holder coming to the aid of a police officer in a fight for his/her life. Let’s review the Colorado “Self-Defense and Defense of Another” law. The law clearly […]
Report 51, Taxes
I’m not an economist but know enough to know what debt is. The feds are starting to talk about shelling out major tax credits as a stimulus to the economy. If they do this the $24T in debt will grow exponentially. Don’t misunderstand me. I hate all forms of taxes but understand that there are […]
