Note From a Cop

Written By; Scott Wagner a Police Academy Commander and Professor at Columbus State Community College in Columbus Ohio, and Commander of the 727 Counter Terror Training Unit.. A 29 year law enforcement veteran, and current Deputy Sheriff, he is the Precision Marksman for the Union County Sheriffs Office SRT Team.

The fear on the street is palpable. Ever since the election of Barack Obama as President of these United States in November 2008, coupled with the election of a democrat party majority in both the U.S. House and Senate, concern for the United States and personal safety has ignited like a fire in dry grass.

Sales of guns black guns, rifles, shotguns and handguns (particularly 9mm) everywhere, have gone through the roof. AR15s have literally flown off of dealer shelves, and only now in the spring of 2009, have I seen the display samples of ARs begin to reappear on the wall of my favorite shooting emporium after the initial post election rush.


Manufacturers of ARs are still working to catch up and some of the major suppliers are as much as 150,000 guns behind. Not only that, ammo is in the shortest supply I have ever seen in the 43 years of my shooting life. Have you recently tried to get 5.56mm, 9mm or even 380 ammo?

Supplies of 5.56mm and 9mm ammo are in short supply due to the black gun buying craze; .380ACP because of the rise in people getting concealed carry permits and the resurgence of interest in convenient 380 handguns like the fine Ruger LCP. In fact, in doing a review of the Ruger LCP, my gun store only had a small supply of ONE .380 round on hand, the Winchesters 95-grain SXT, which they had just gotten in. Unfortunately, I had to do a 30-round review of that pistol. There was none other to be found.

What is odd about this new fear is that it is not coming from the average citizen gun owner out there, but it is coming from what to me is an almost shocking source: street cops.

Street cops and SWAT cops that I know from various agencies rural, suburban and metro in my area are scared. Cops that before November 2008 never gave much thought (that I knew of anyway) to politics or more
importantly to gun rights. For the most part, these are the guys that didnt generally have any interest in shooting or gun ownership beyond keeping track of where their duty gun is, and a few of them didnt even do that so well.

The guys I am talking about now are some of the same guys who used to not even carry off duty on a regular basis- but not anymore. They dont scare easily, defenders of the Constitution of this State and the United States (as our oath of office reads), have been buying ARs, survival gear, and all the ammo they can lay their hands on. All of them (or I should say us) have been discussing and have been acquiring guns to provide a layered perimeter defense.

What are we suddenly so afraid of? Well in our discussions it seems to boil down to four areas.

U.S. Marine Corps Col. Kenneth L. Reusser, R.I.P.
By Michelle Malkin June 29, 2009 11:01 PM

Ugh. I am so maddeningly sick of the never-ending Michael Jackson circus, sucking up all the MSM oxygen and drawing out all the race hustlers and cable TV rats. Al Sharpton. Jesse Jackson. Celebrity lawyers. Sewage on parade.

Heres a man whose legacy and name you should tell your children about instead: U.S. Marine Corps Col. Kenneth L. Reusser. R.I.P. Via the Portland Oregonian:

They came by ones and twos Friday, quietly slipping into the pews at New Hope Community Church. They smiled at the words honoring a man whose faith made him an inspiration and whose exploits in three wars made him a hero.

And when the last mournful drone of the bagpipes faded, they said goodbye to Col. Kenneth L. Reusser of Milwaukie, the most decorated U.S. Marine Corps aviator in history.

He was the finest gentleman Ive ever met, said Harley Wedel of Fairview, a fellow Korean War veteran. Im really going to miss him.

Where Have the Grown-Ups Gone?

by Henry Makow Ph.D

Why can’t we find a grown man who will put responsibility to country, wife and family above the allure of sex?

Arrested development is widespread. It is caused by a secular religion which takes sex and romance to be real love and spiritual fulfillment.

Gov. Mark Sanford, 49, a Christian Conservative, didn’t spend Father’s Day with his four sons. He flew off to Buenos Aires to be with his mistress Maria, 43, starting a two-week trial separation from his wife of 20 years, Jenny, 47.
By “listening to his heart” Sanford betrayed both his family and his nation. Like Eliot Spitzer, he was considered a front-runner for the GOP Presidential nomination in 2012. Like Spitzer, Mark Sanford has damaged his career at a time when America is sorely in need of honest, competent leadership.

Sanford’s personal emails to Maria from July 2008 were hacked by another of her suitors. They reveal that even at the pinnacle of his career, Sanford was seeking spiritual fulfillment in romance instead of service.

He complains that he has been dominated by his head for too long. “You have my heart,” he says. Love “has become a real need of mine. You have a particular grace and calm that I adore. You have a level of sophistication that is so fitting with your beauty…Above all else I love that inner beauty about you.”

Sanford is idealizing this woman, easy to do when you have limited contact.(She is a divorcee who recommends Alan Greenspan’s last book, and is looking for a therapist.) By loving her, Sanford thinks he can possess her spiritual qualities and sophistication. He can’t. He must cultivate these qualities in himself.

MARINE CORPS TIMES A black eye for MCA

MARINE CORPS TIMES

6 July 2009


[EDITORIALS ]

A black eye for MCA
The Marine Corps Association ought to be a pretty exclusive club. Turns out, it has a problem with fakers.
Not one or two or three, but pos sibly dozens. At least 40 member profiles published in the organiza tion’s most recent directory are flawed. There are 16 bogus Medals of Honor, for example, 16 fake Navy Crosses and at least eight phony Silver Stars listed, based on a Marine Corps Times analysis. There are also at least five members listed who claim to have been Marines, but who appear never to have even served in the Corps.


There are victims in this mess, as well. A handful of legitimate combat heroes are listed with incorrect medals because of data-entry errors made by the third-party firm hired by the MCA to update its 2009 mem bers directory.
Unfortunately, some of them were lumped in with the phonies after the directory’s quality prob lems were exposed by an astute member of the MCA and Legion of Valor, an organization for recip ients of the military’s highest combat decorations. A Navy Cross recipient, retired Marine Lt. Col.
Thomas Richards was looking for fellow Marines to recruit for the Legion of Valor when the number of highly decorated vets he was finding triggered his faker radar.
A nonprofit organization com prising some 80,000 current and former Marines and dependents, the MCA fills a vital role in the Marine Corps community. It relies on membership fees and donations from members to host professional military education series and annual awards cere monies, among other key initiatives.
To some, 40 bad apples in an association that large might not seem like a crisis. It is. It under mines the group’s integrity and flouts one of the Corps’ most basic, sacred principles: honor.
Moreover, it’s against the law to claim false military honors, and the MCA has inadvertently endorsed some of those false claims.

Hawaii paper turns down ad regarding Obama birth
WND ^ | June 28, 2009 | WorldNetDaily

Posted on Sunday, June 28, 2009 10:38:49 PM by RobinMasters

WASHINGTON – In the latest effort to obtain information that could settled the controversy over Barack Obama’s eligibility for office as a “natural born citizen,” WND Editor and Chief Executive Officer Joseph Farah attempted to buy a full-page ad in a Honolulu daily newspaper soliciting assistance in finding documentary evidence of his birth in the city Aug. 4, 1961, as he claims in his autobiography.

Despite offering the full rate of $7,168.50 plus taxes for a full-page, color ad on page 2 of the news section of the Honolulu Star-Bulletin next Monday, the copy was rejected – the latest turndown by a growing list of media companies that won’t touch the birth certificate issue even for money.

“I spoke to my publisher and unfortunately we cannot accept the ad because it is political,” explained Cyd Kamakea, classified advertising manager.
