Master Gun Scribe Joins Blogosphere

I have a gun expert friend that has written books about firearms and a truckload of magazine articles. I was surprised to learn long ago that he was a serious Indiana corn farmer in addition to writing about firearms. Frank W. James is one of the country’s best gun writers.

I don’t know how Frank can do all he must and find time to keep up a blog. Gun writers like Frank James have a following of fans that grew up reading his books and articles. I trust that they soon find Frank's new blog.

Farmers all have a problem and that’s controlling God’s creatures that devastate crops. I’m sure we will see expert advice offered here to deal with them too.

I hope the word gets out and the advertisers for “Corn, beans, spent brass, an empty page and a deadline” bury Frank and his farm with cold hard cash.

Despicable YouTube Teen Beating

At first blush YouTube should delete this kind of video because they encourage crimes. The reality is bullies do this crap every day without creating perfect evidence for the courtroom. In nearly every similar case without taped evidence the attackers always lie and claim they were just defending themselves. It’s almost impossible to get a conviction when all the witnesses are also the offenders.

I can just imagine jury members watching the YouTube horror show returning with a “Guilty On All Counts” verdict in record time.

The incredibly brutal and stupid central Florida teenagers involved in last week’s taped torture and kidnapping deserve long adult prison terms for their YouTube production.

These sadistic YouTube contributors wanted to show the world their deed. Now the world can watch these creepy kids spend the best decades of their lives where they belong, behind bars.

OBama’s “Bitter” Gaffe…

It’s no secret that Barack Obama loathes the Second Amendment and supports a total ban or firearms for Americans. It’s also quite evident that he and his wife sympathize, socialize and worship with anti-American and anti-White bigots.

The gun control issue places Obama on the side of the Ku Klux Klan that supported the first gun control laws in America. Those laws barred Blacks from owning guns through subjective permit schemes that favored White folks. Allowing Blacks to protect themselves was and is counterproductive to Obama and the Klan’s goals. Obama is the ultimate, “Uncle Tom”.

You can argue that the Klan is gone but it has been replaced by armed criminal aliens and minority membership street gangs that are killing Blacks today like never before. This is happening in the Gun Free Zones of places like Chicago, New York and Los Angeles. Law-abiding Black Americans are victimized at a much higher rate than any other ethnic group.

Obama’s rejection of rural Pennsylvania’s voter’s clinging to religion must be because they don’t because they don’t pray in churches run by the likes of his own favorite pastor, Jeremiah Wright.

Anyone who believes that Hillary Clinton has turned into a gun rights tolerant, moderate is living in a fantasy world for sure. Clinton was lock-step with Sarah Brady and Rosie O’Donnell who want to guarantee only the government and criminals have firearms.

Obama certainly knows how to alienate and divide Americans as well as the Clintons have done. Obama wants to deprive Americans of their basic rights to protect their families under a Constitutional right that too many Left Wing extremists want to destroy.

The TSA’s Response To Gun Accident is Deafening!

The TSA has muzzled their trainers and administrators as they throw good money after bad. Rather than give up their obstructionist ways the TSA is searching for yet another unorthodox, Rube Goldberg style gun locking contraption.

The TSA is hoping for anything at all, regardless of cost to separate FFDO pilots from their guns or a way to claim the program should be scrapped as unworkable. They just refuse to adjust to the law of the land that mandated armed pilots.

TSA officials will do anything and everything they can to aid terrorists and leave the public unprotected. I know and they know that we are no better off than we were on September 10, 2001.

The TSA has their head in the sand as they know full well that there are explosives that will defeat their screeners and technology. They are also aware just how passengers can improvise deadly weapons with legal everyday items once onboard planes.

The TSA has no reliable contingent plans to deal with a terror attack from the tarmac level at our airports. Their entire program is only very expensive smoke and mirrors. The scam is to fool the public with their privacy and dignity invasions.

As always, we can count on government’s arrogance, incompetence and ineptitude rather than a real solution like fully trained and armed pilots to protect lives and assets entrusted to them.

They need to retire the booby-trap holster padlock idea and instead rely the experience of millions of law enforcement officers that have learned how to safely retain their weapons and deploying them only to save lives.

Adoption Duty Day For This Private Investigator/Terminator

Chino, CA--It’s a beautiful day as I enter the grounds of the California Institution For Men. I’ve got an adoption case assignment involving an inmate here.

For the most part I enjoy these assignments I do on behalf of couples seeking to adopt infants to raise as their own children. In many adoption cases the natural parents have a sad life of drug addiction, poverty and crime. These people are just not equipped with the skills or motivation to raise children in a happy or safe environment.

For the birth-fathers to be, I bring an end to the prospect of child support, medical bills and responsibilities. I bring them paperwork that ultimately terminates their parental rights to the child.

If the birth-fathers don’t sign the paperwork, I serve them with court documents that will force termination on the grounds that the birth-father is not a fit nor proper person to raise the child because of his criminal history and imprisonment. No matter what, the results are the same but going through court termination proceedings take a lot longer.

Many of the birth fathers I deal with are not in prison but they have many of the same problems.

Even imprisoned birth fathers have the power to put the adoptive parents through many months of additional expense, uncertainty and worry if the men don’t agree to the adoption. The upside of signing the papers is good will and a guarantee their babies will get the good life with financially stable if not wealthy adoptive parents.

The reality is these babies have won the lottery. The’ve won loving parents that will provide for their needs and educational tools along with a new birthright.

Thankfully most birth-fathers do the right thing once the options are properly explained to them. I rarely meet the adoptive parents but talk on the phone with them. Sometimes as they cry with tears of joy that the adoption is finally settled. These adoption assignments have a lasting feel-good effect on me. The results of this work I do has caused the social workers and attorneys to give me a special moniker, “The Terminator”.

International Extradition And The Death Penalty

Fugitive Marine Cpl. Cesar Laurean was bagged by Mexican cops in San Juan De La Vina, Mexico. Laureau was on the lam after being accused first of rape and then later killing the very pregnant, Marine Lance Cpl. Maria Lauterbach, 20. Police believe the killing was an ill-fated attempt to silence Lauterbach’s testimony against Laurean.

There is a simple lesson for all people on the run from a capital offense in the United States. International extradition has a price in most of the civilized world. That price is there will be no extraditions without a guarantee that the death penalty wont be sought or imposed on the accused.

Most convicted killers don’t live to see a prison death chamber because of the decades long chain of appeals involved in these cases. However spending time on Death Row is really hard time compared to even super maximum state prison general population housing units.

Touching foreign soil did much more than save Laurean’s life. Even if he serves a maximum term he will have his custody status reviewed and reduced with good behavior. That would never happen if he was under a death sentence.

I won’t comment on just what Laurean deserves more than a fair trial and conviction only after guilt is proven beyond a reasonable doubt. Laurean has already been convicted by blood thirsty television and blog offerings in their usual rush to judgment.

Spending most or all of your useful life in prison has to be pure Hell with the crappy food, an end to hetro-sexual relations, and any form privacy. Being subjected to victimization at the hands of career criminals with nothing to lose does not enhance the quality of life. Life in prison may be much worse than death.

I hate the death penalty because it gives government the ability to kill its own citizens. Sooner or later that power gets out-of-control as we have seen in Europe, Asia and the Middle East in recent history. Can we trust the politicians we were never that fond of not to abuse their power?

I’m Stuck In A Giant Time Warp…

Click picture to enlarge.

Thanks to retired, Chicago Police Homicide Sergeant Johnny “North side” Northern, I was taken back more than three decades. North Side worked at Area Six in another now demolished building located at Damen Avenue and Grace Street.

North Side sent me this picture of the old Chicago police Academy. The non-descript building was used as a hospital during the Civil War and has the look of so many of Chicago’s public grammar schools. I guess one architect had the clout to design so many buildings during that period. I wonder whose political campaign he had to fund to get the job? The building served the city well for a very long time.

I can remember every day I spent in that building that had no air conditioning but for a single window unit in the training director’s office. Rank has its privilege. The classrooms were large and noisy. You could smell the Vienna Sausage Company’s products in the air from several nearby hot dog stands on Maxwell Street.

The sound of a fellow recruit’s wrist snapping still rings in my ears from the great training provided by a certain notorious defensive tactics instructor. The boiler room was used as small running track where we did the Duck Walk for many miles before we graduated.

Compared to my basic training at Fort Leonard Wood in Missouri the O’Brien Street Academy was an absolute country club. The instructors were the greatest as they gave me the building blocks to understand the job and also help me through a second career as a private eye.

The new academy on Jackson Street was finished the same year this picture was taken. It was new, modern much larger and lacked so much personality that the old school had.

Thanks for the picture John! If only I could be turned back into a kid and begin my training all over again…

We get letters! RE: Armed Pilots

I am FFDO and only joined the program so I wouldn't have to suffer the affront every time I went to work of being frisked by some guy named Mohammed, who couldn't hold a job at 7-11 or driving a taxi in Manhattan.

Only in America can you produce such an inept leadership of an orgination of morons who don't have the balls to work smarter...not harder. Let me see if I have this right; I'm in uniform with no gun, I have to go through same screening as regular passengers. Take my computer out as well as the gum in my shirt pocket. I carry a gun, I show two photo ID's, sign a book and NOTHING in my bag is searched! That makes a lot of sense.

When will this country wake up and stop all the insanity? If it is for the passengers, simply remind them that we are the most vetted employee group of almost any industry. And, if they are not comfortable, Greyhound and Amtrak would be more than happy to carry them safely to their destinations!

When will the pilots come together and say enough is enough and give the TSA 6 months to come up with universal access or we don't fly? Shut down the plans for one hour and they would have a solution in a week!

We are going to "politically correct" ourselves right up to another event that will make 9-11 look like a picnic!

Rick Ross’ Fingerprints Are All Over The Texas Polygamist Search Warrant Evidence

One man’s religion is another man’s cult. In America you have a right to join whatever floats your spiritual boat. This only becomes a problem when families are desperate to remove their kin from the groups they’ve joined. For that job there is convicted bombing extortionist and former resident of the Arizona State Prison’s Finishing School. His name is Richard “Rick” Ross. Ross learned that families will pay handsomely for anyone willing to kidnap and “deprogram” those wayward fugitive loved ones. Deprograming became Ross’s vocation and post prison career.

Ross also has made himself a media "expert pundit" on cults and such. The news media organizations unknowingly hire the fallen extortionist who does not like to disclose his past.

Ross has a website where he finally disclosed but really downplays his outrageous crime that would make a solid script for a really bad made for TV movie. Ross’ crime involved contacting the old, Broadway Southwest Department store in the Phoenix Biltmore Fashion Mall with a particularly nasty threat.

Ross and his group were going to explode a planted bomb inside the store killing everyone unless they took their all the jewelry and cash and deposited it in a certain location. For Ross that crime did not pay as he and another man were caught and sent to the Big House. As they do for all first time Arizona convicts that complete parole, Ross’ civil rights were restored. Of course Ross still cannot own a firearm.

Some interesting facts were ignored by the press about the Waco Texes Holocaust at the Mt. Carmel Church involving the Branch Davidians. Ross was trying to extract a member of that group on behalf of a family. Ross got a brainstorm after he learned that some members there had firearms. Ross arranged to transmit phony information claiming the church members had an unregistered and therefore illegal .50 caliber machinegun to the BATF. Ross hoped that the BATF would raid the church, and he could extract his prey during the confusion. We all know what happened at Waco and they never found that .50 caliber machinegun.

Now we have that San Angelo, TX case of a supposed 16 year-old girl with a cell phone that contained a Nashville TN prefix, calling for help claiming rape, beating and kidnapping. Added to the girl’s sory was the name of a real convicted Arizona sex offender, Dale Barlow. Somehow I suspect Mr. Barlow’s name and history was used to simply cause law enforcement authorities to get a search warrant. I would be surprised to find out Barlow ever lived at the San Angelo polygamist church. I smell a replay of the Waco stunt being used in this case. That M.O. is so familiar as we all know Ross is good with a telephone.

This stunt did the trick here as the cops predictably raided. How could I foresee that Barlow or the girl who I suspect never existed were not located inside the Polygamist church and community?

I’m not going to enter the debate of whether the polygamists are right or wrong. I don’t really care. There can be no debate that they have the same Bill of Rights protecting them against bogus search warrants. They also have a right to pray to whomever they like.

Somehow I predict that Ross will surface here as a witness or media expert. Time will tell if Ross orchestrated this raid like he did in Waco.

The Heat Of The Moment, A Flashback

Click photo to enlarge.

I took this photo in Chicago’s Marquette Park in 1978 at a Nazi rally that later found itself written into the script for the movie, The Blues Brothers.

Here some fellow Chicago police officers are helping this lad to his feet after he stumbled. I heard a rumor that the boy later was elected as a Democrat to Congress. Does anyone recognize him?

If You Loathe Commercial Air Travel, You’re Not Alone…

Air carriers are falling over each other on their way to our nation’s bankruptcy courts.

I think the reasons are obvious. Today air passengers are first assaulted by the TSA gauntlet that emulates the military checkpoints manned by Nazi or Communist countries. I say assault because we’ve fought wars to prevent what we now allow our own government to do to us.

Most Americans were not yet born when air travel was a pleasant adventure. There was no frisking of passengers and no identification was required to fly. The service was wonderful, as the beautiful young and well paid women flight attendants treated passengers like they were special. I used to go out of my way to fly rather than drive.

Today unhappy passengers suffer the privacy invasion and other indignities at the hands of all powerful TSA workers. We are forced to play a sick game of Simon Sez with the hard corps unemployed placed in the TSA jobs program.

Later the passengers are face to face with low paid airline employees who now have to cope with those traumatized by the TSA. The mood is far less than it should be and can be. We find ourselves in an environment where nearly all courtesies and smiles are faked.

Next the specter of airline horror stories of being trapped in a plane on the tarmac with overflowing toilets, no food, lost luggage and more TSA misadventures like when they re-screen an entire airport full of passengers.

Today I find any excuse not to fly and drive whenever possible. The airlines respond to me and my fellow passengers by lowering prices and cutting more corners on already, really bad service. They just don’t get it.

I’d train and arm every pilot and many flight crew members. I would also invite all trained and sworn law enforcement officers to fly armed at half-price air fare or better.

We’ve traded away our freedom and liberty in order to obtain security and as Benjamin Franklin warned we now have neither. Today I’d much rather see the TSA and their trashing of the Fourth Amendment ended for good. I will take my chances with terrorists any day.

A Giant Has Died…

A true American, an actor and the Omega Man of our time, Charlton Heston has passed away today, he was 84 years-old. Heston was elected President of the National Rifle Association in 1998 and served for several two year terms. Heston stepped down when he was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease.

According to a family spokesman Heston died in his Beverly Hills home.
Here is my favorite line Heston ever delivered

TSA Set To Brief Congress On Pilot's Gun Accident

The TSA is set to bring their findings and excuses for the accident to the Congressional Homeland Security Committee next week. The question is, will the TSA accept responsibility for the accident or make a scapegoat of the pilot?

In December the Crimefile News blog broke the story about the unorthodox, padlocked holster required for armed Federal Flight Deck Officers. The holster in conjunction with a common padlock was adopted and mandated by the TSA for transportation and storage of loaded guns on commercial aircraft by flight deck officers.

The problem is that long standing safety rules mandate that trigger locks, fingers and foreign objects don’t belong on the trigger of loaded firearms. The holster alone is a well made and safe item but the same cannot be said for the utilization of a padlock with the holster.

A video written and produced by Crimefile News has been seen in hundreds of airline, government and Congressional offices and has been heralded by gun safety experts for exposing the danger. The video replicates the actual discharge of the weapon by the padlock shackle. Pilots, flight deck officers, and TSA employees are precluded from talking about the holster or firearm handling procedures.

Congressman John Mica of Florida is convinced after a briefing by TSA officials that the accident was caused by the TSA mandated procedures and padlock.

So far the TSA remains silent on the cause of the incident or plans to prevent similar accidents in the future.

Let’s hope that the responsibility for the FFDO program is shifted away from the politicized TSA to a competent law enforcement agency where it belongs.

Releasing Prisoners Because Of A Government Fiscal Crisis

This is a no brainer for me. We all know that dangerous and violent criminals are young. As criminals age their crimes decrease accordingly. A purse snatcher for example can’t do those escape sprints at 45 or 50 like he could at 25. Maturity also tames those who like to engage in risky behavior.

Life in prison is supposed to be just that. However the truth is life or at least the quality of life is really over for prison inmates and everyone for that matter when, disease, blindness, hearing loss and the inability to simply walk brings disability.

Our prisons have become nursing homes with significant health care costs. That’s over and above the cost of security over senior citizens behind bars.

The solution is simple if prisoners are so old or so disabled they are no longer a threat let them out. That’s far better than letting out a 25 to 45 year old burglar, robber or rapist early. That means people like Charles Manson, Sirhan Sirhan, other high profile ageing convicts will get their diapers changed in a nursing home.

There are thousands of dangerous young criminals that society needs protection from. We should not waste valuable prison real estate on anyone who is feeble and helpless.

Will The TSA make Pilot James Langenhahn A Scapegoat?

US Airways pilot James Langenhahn’s gun went off as he was stowing it away. Placing the TSA mandated padlock through a hole in the holster against the trigger of a loaded gun was a deadly idea that the TSA ordered all FFDO pilots to do after entering and before leaving the cockpit. That action was the apparent cause of the pilot’s gun discharging.

Firearms trainers all over the country were shocked to find out about this very risky policy from my December revelations of the secret and unorthodox procedures created by the TSA. The fact that there are not similar accidents every day with this policy is a monument to the pilots who have volunteered for the training and duty.

Revealing classified information was the only way to expose the danger and force the TSA to eliminate the unnecessary and dangerous handling of the FFDO’s service weapons. With last weeks’ accidental discharge and exposure of the problem there’s a good chance the TSA will see the error of their way and retire those padlocks. Thankfully nobody was killed or injured.

I expect to see some quick Congressional action on this issue. I also expect to see the involved pilot cleared of negligence, returned to his job with an apology and any back pay in light of the failed TSA procedures.

Why Politicians Need So Much Protection In Today’s America

Being an American President is a very dangerous job. The likelihood of being shot while holding office is higher than ten percent. But for a single attack on the House of Representatives Puerto Rican separatists our presidents by and politicians have only suffered assaults by a few disenfranchised or mentally ill Americans.

Today’s politicians are very afraid of the American people as they have stepped up their personal security and insisted anyone allowed near them be searched like criminals. The politicians most concerned are the ones with their hands in their fellow American’s pockets as they regulate them to death. With each intrusion into our lives another layer of politician security is put in place.

There must come a time when politicians forfeit their lives for stealing American’s freedom, liberty and money. American politicians are clueless about the ability, ingenuity and resources of the population they victimize. Politicians seem to forget that the Americans who make the vary weapons they use to make war can redirect their efforts on traitors.

The three current top Presidential contenders are a Black man that embraces and supports a church run by an anti-American hatemonger, a corrupt former First Lady and a pretend Conservative that votes most often with the other two would be Presidents in the Senate. All three candidates have demanded we give away our educational, medical assets and jobs to illegal aliens. No matter which one of these sorry politicians wins this time Americans will lose.

Perhaps the young American Experiment has ended as America embraces the failed ideals of Karl Marx. We can’t continue to run on corruption, greed and printed money backed by nothing at all.

It appears America may be on the verge of a great depression. I don’t expect our population to withstand an interruption in their food or gasoline supply for very long. That’s especially true of the millions currently receiving government assistance.

Perhaps the best course of action for worried politicians is to embrace the idea of returning liberty and stay out of our pockets. Our founding fathers were really bright fellows.

What Will It Take For The TSA To Retire The Holster Padlock?

Under poorly thought out directives this padlock shackle must rest across the trigger of every flight deck officer’s service pistol. This lock clearly causes accidental discharges.

No trigger lock maker has ever made a device for use on a loaded gun. Using this padlock as a trigger lock was a poor and dangerous idea for anyone much less pilots of our air carriers. Requiring pilots to lock and unlock the padlocks on airplanes is very risky. The locks turn the FFDO's defensive weapon into a deadly booby-trap.

Must someone be killed first? This is really very simple to correct by recalling the padlocks and ordering the FFDO pilots to quit using them.

The proper way to insure that the pilot’s guns stay safe and secure is for them to keep them in a belt or shoulder holster at all times. That would end the unnecessary handling of the firearms altogether. It’s such a simple concept even a TSA director should be able to understand.

The Training Of Federal Flight Deck Officers (Armed Pilots) And the TSA Spin Doctors.

The TSA public relations spinners are out in full force defending their deadly, booby-trap FFDO holster design. They want to suggest that the solid week of intense training does not qualify the pilots to carry and retain guns like other federal officers.

One weeks training is shorter than agencies like the FBI but pilots don’t need the additional training on criminal law, evidence collection, rules of evidence and investigative functions. The actual FFDO firearm and tactics training is equal to that of any other federal officer’s.

I can’t even imagine a real firearms trainer teaching FFDO pilots to use any piece of equipment that allows or invites a foreign object like their “safety padlock” to come into contact with the trigger of a loaded firearm. Any self-respecting trainer would walk off the job first. The only reason this danger was not leaked to the public and press sooner is because the TSA classified the procedures as National Security. Nobody wants to risk prison. Pilots and trainers were all quietly holding their noses and going along with a dangerous and unworkable program.

Any self-respecting law enforcement firearms trainer would want the FFDOs to carry their weapons concealed and handle them only in an emergency just like any cop. The TSA's insane locking and unlocking procedures with a dangerously designed and unproven “safety padlock” was asking for a failure.

The FFDO holsters are otherwise well constructed but the padlocks must be recalled and used elsewhere. FFDO rules must change so they can carry their firearms while at work and commuting. This will also reduce thefts and the loss of the pilot’s weapons along with accidents.

Watch the video of the recreated accidental discharge...

We get Letters!

I got this comment on my TSA booby-trap holster video and it was too good not to share with all of my readers.

I guess the fine folks at the TSA don’t like the First Amendment any more than the others in our Bill of Rights!

Mr. Huebl.
Your disgraceful and insulting remarks about the fine men and women who keep you safe at the TSA should be a federal offense.

Releasing classified information as you have is a serious offense.
I think you should be taken to Guantanamo Bay detention camp and water-boarded until you confess just who provided you with that TSA Flight Deck Officer’s, gun, holster and safety padlock.

You and your gun-slinging pilot pals all need a long vacation in a federal cooler for treason.

The FAA and TSA have been doing a fine job of protecting Americans from the National Rifle Association.
Sincerely,
The TSA
