All the yard signs for a Colorado GOP State Senate Candidate vanished from my street last night.  Bob Lane had done an excellent job walking his precincts and had a ton of signs out in the weeks before the election.  Operatives acting on behalf of his opponent, who shall remain nameless, evidently don’t like the First Amendment [...]

The Denver Post reported on 09-16-08 that no charges would be filed against Joseph Calanchini, a Wyoming resident who was arrested for carrying cased firearms into the House Speaker’s hotel during the Democrat Convention.  (”No charges for gun carrier during Dems’ Convention,” Denver Post, 09-16-08, Page 2B.)  See my post, “Denver Weapons Arrest at Pelosi’s [...]

According to a story in the Boulder Daily Camera, the Colorado University Regents last week rejected a student petition to allow licensed CCW permit holders to carry guns on campuses in the university system.  Regents commenting on the petition presentation cited “inflammatory rhetoric” and lack of facts and logic in refusing to consider the issue.  [...]

In my opinion, there is something odd about the arrest of Wyoming resident Joseph Calanchini at House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s hotel on Saturday.  The bust was apparently made on the basis of Calanchini’s attempt  to check into the Grand Hyatt Hotel with a cased hunting rifle.  I know of no Colorado or Federal law that would make such [...]

A story by Brittany Anas from The Boulder Daily Camera that was printed in the Rocky Mountain News indicates that the Colorado Springs Chapter of Students for Concealed Carry on Campus plans to petition CU Regents to allow permit holders to carry on school property controlled by the University of Colorado.  I agree with the opinion expressed in [...]

Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper said earlier this week that the city would not stand for violence over the summer. I suppose he means during the Democrat Convention, when there will no doubt be a police officer on every corner. The Mayor also indicated that he would look to some other cities for possible [...]

In this election year, I think it is critical that advocates of the individual right to self-defense againt crime and tyranny recognised by the Second Amendment support like-minded candidates in primaries against hostile, less-dedicated, or untested opponents. This is especially important if the pro-rights candidates have rock solid voting records on Second Amendment issues.
A [...]

Full disclosure: I have been associated with the Firearms Coalition for over fifteen years.
This all-volunteer, Colorado grassroots organization is near and dear to my heart, because it is a regular at almost every major gun show along the Front Range, and is often present in other areas of the state. The Coalition distributes educational [...]

Colorado Democrats have assembled and published their platform for the 2008 Campaign. If you love freedom and value your First and Second Amendment rights, you need to be worried.
Democrats “support reinstating equal time requirements (the fairness doctrine)…” to the “airwaves.” This means that if a TV or radio station expresses an opinion, [...]

Using the “metaphor” that we are engaged in a “war” with the hard left over our natural right to self-defense against crime and tyranny, I am going to profile from time to time the organizations involved in this fight. This almost certainly has been done better elsewhere, but I am going to take literary [...]
