Police chiefs are political hirelings of liberal city councils and mayors.

They keep repeating the same pablam.

Kentucky's sheriffs and street patrolmen are a different matter.

The last I heard, Joe stopped carrying a mouse gun.

''They don't think that putting more weapons out on the street is the way to solve crime.''

NOTICE THIS SENTENCE. He is not thinking about preventing crime. He is thinking about

SOLVING

crimes.

Before you can solve a crime it must be committed. And if is is commiteed on you, you are the victim.

He is saying that you haveing a gun, does not help him catch your killler.

But if you have a gun you will not be killed.

The cops are concerned about catching killers... not keeping you alive.

[the irate magistrate]

Usually this newspaper is anti-gun in it's content.

They can't deny this occurance with my friend Joe, however.

Carrying concealed did save his life that day.

[caseyblane]

I'm so suprised!! Yeah right. It is wonderful to see a newspaper article like this.

[Skibane]

People who commit violent crimes - some of them may have had concealed-carry permits...

The press just can't resist slipping in at least one backhanded slap at concealed carry laws. In this example, the writer implies that some CCW holder somewhere may have committed a violent crime. The writer doesn't have any facts to support this premise (which would certainly have been included if any such facts existed), so the issue is instead left in the theoretical realm.

Following the same line of reasoning, pigs may fly, or there may be life on Pluto.

Birdwhistell said despite the statistics, the Kentucky police chief's association is still against an armed populous.

''I don't think our membership have changed their minds,'' said Birdwhistell, a former Georgetown police chief. ''They don't think that putting more weapons out on the street is the way to solve crime.''

"No amount of FACTS will convince ME, I'm... LIBERAL MAN the steadfast bastion of Left-Wingedness! Some Superheroes wear capes, others tights, but you'll know LIBERALMAN when you see him because of the big L on my forehead. Of course, sometimes I wear tights, too, but not as part of my superhero gig..."

Good thing he had the guts to pull it out!

Time for America to do away with ALL laws that violate the 2nd amendment.

Text of the Second Amendment
"A well regulated Militia
being necessary to the security of a free State,
the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed."
Anyone who actually reads AND understands the 2nd Amendment
will see that there is no constitutional authority for any type of gun registration
and *there is no need for anyone to have to apply for a license to carry a gun.
*NOTE Vermont is the only state that understands this!
Any political party, politician, judge (etc), organization or individual who trys to convince you that:
1) you must register a firearm
2) you must pass a background check
3) you must wait (x) amount of days before you can get your firearm
4) you need to have a license to carry a gun
is either uneducated about OUR rights as citizens
OR is actively working to undermine OUR country.

How Did the Founders Understand the Second Amendment?

How the Brady Bill Passed (and subsequently - "Instant Check")
When the Brady Bill was passed into law on November 24, 1993,
the Senate voted on the Conference Report
and passed the Brady Bill by UNANIMOUS CONSENT.

NOT ONE SENATOR FROM EITHER PARTY VOTED AGAINST THIS
AND THE NRA HELPED DRAFT THE BRADY BILL.

[mississippi red-neck]

Ever notice how many people that carry a gun or, are protected by an armed bodygaurd don't want you to carry one? I carry a gun for the same reason that a police officer does, to protect me and my family from criminals. If I don't need one, neither does he.

[Freedom_Is_Not_Free]

FIRST, I am pro LEO. Always have been.

SECOND, I think Police Chiefs are generally horses-petuties based on the fact that most of them are kiss-butt politicians and most of them only want cops to have guns while defenseless civilians remain unable to defend themselves from armed assailants, to wit:

"The Kentucky Association of Chiefs of Police opposed the bill, saying that more guns would mean more incidences of gun-related injuries. Craig Birdwhistell, executive director of the association, said so far that hasn't happened."

Birdshistell said, ''No, we haven't experienced the problems that some of our chiefs of police have anticipated,'' but said despite the statistics, the Kentucky police chief's association is still against an armed populous.

Must be a card-carrying ACLU liberal type. Once again, he doesn't want the fact that armed civilians are perfectly harmless to society to interfere with his preconceived "feelings" that it is unsafe. Typical liberal idiot. How much longer are we going to have to put up with POS Police Chiefs like this brain-dead Nazi. (And no, I did not use the word Nazi casualty. Don't forget the Nazi's held the exact same point of view disarming people as this imbicile Police Chief.)

"'I think it's worked out exactly as I predicted it would,' said state Rep. Bob Damron, D-Nicholasville, who sponsored the 1996 legislation."

Go figure.

Where are THESE Demon-Rats when the assualts on our 2 amend are initiated by their own.

''I don't think our membership have changed their minds,'' said Birdwhistell, a former Georgetown police chief. ''They don't think that putting more weapons out on the street is the way to solve crime.''

He's a former police chief and yet he's the Executive Director? Does this mean he doesn't own a gun anymore or does he carry illegally and it protected by his police chief friends?

Is there anyone living in Kentucky that can find out more about this person and see if he isn't a hypocrite like I think he is? Did he apply for a permit?

[JimRed]

When the stranger pulled a gun from his waist band and rushed Megerle, Megerle shot first. The stranger fell at his feet. Megerle was uninjured.

Did he finish him off?

[Native American Female Vet]

"Craig Birdwhistell, executive director of the association, said so far that hasn't happened."

Hmmm......so far? Well that sounds like he still expects it to.

BTW thanks for the flag

[betty boop]

''They don't think that putting more weapons out on the street is the way to solve crime.''

Yeah, forget the evidence that contradicts our "doctrine." let's not let reality get in the way of sticking to our P.C. guns.

The lesson of reality is that, in order for a crime to be "solved," a crime must first have taken place. Doesn't look like the police chiefs' standard take on this problem would have done Mr. Megerle much good.

Reality says that we're talking crime avoidance here, not crime solving.

The police chiefs' standard dogma just leaves people ripe for helpless victimhood. Their "braces-on-the-brains" approach to this problem is not only intellectually dishonest, but quite shameful in its disregard for the personal security of citizens. JMHO.

GREAT article, the irate magistrate. Thanks for the bump! best, bb.
