DeWine reverses decision to ignore improved law enforcement training

It is admittedly unknown if such training, had it been seriously adopted and conducted, would have mattered in the Crawford and Rice cases, or if the specific circumstances leading to their shootings would have shown Ohio law regarding openly carrying arms to be irrelevant. Would it have made a difference if DeWine (and Cordray and Rogers before him) had acted on the documented warnings? That is a question for attorneys for family survivors to pursue, and if they do, it will be up to courts to decide. [More]
Today's Gun Rights examiner report notes another reversal from a guy who seems to specialize in them whenever they're the political thing to do. Noting the truism about "progressives" and Opposite Day, is it any wonder the Brady Campaign praised this fraud as a "principled statesman" -- until he figured out which side the votes were on?

Sorry, No

The plan was to repeat the failed "Operation Wide Receiver" under Bush that had actual real tracking devices installed in the weapons, and was shut down when the bad guys discovered them and removed them. But obama and holder conspired to do the same WITHOUT tracking devices to lay the blame on the American gun owners as being a bunch of illegal gun runners to Mexico and use that as an excuse for more restrictive gun laws or outright registration and confiscation. That is why obama claimed EP to hide the truth that he ordered holder to run the gun running scheme. They are still hiding the truth and we may never get the "smoking gun" (pun intended) that would convict the both of them. [More]
I don't know where you're getting your information from, but much of it simply ain’t so. I have written many times about Wide Receiver and Mike Detty, the CI who was at the heart of the operation, which a search will bear out. Direct quotes from Mike: “While there were a couple times during Wide Receiver that tracking devices were placed on cars there was not a single weapon that was outfitted with any kind of tracking instrument.” [AND] “It had nothing to do with Bush or even DOJ...”

I wish I knew how this stuff got started, and why the truth is so hard to get out there -- no doubt because "legitimate news media" has no interest in using their megaphone to do so on certain topics.

Oh, it's AP. [More]

That explains a lot.

I'd feel better if I knew who was doing the requiring, and why:


Will I ever get an answer?

Look, I'm not accusing these people of anything--they may be the greatest thing since sliced bread. But why so hidden? And why wouldn't I prefer to deal with someone who is not?

Because there are a lot of people out there hitching their fortunes to the work and the worries of others -- why not make sure those diverting resources that could be effectively applied elsewhere are actually using them to advance the interests they imply?

Here's the WhoIs scoop:
Registrant Name: Jeffrey Reberry
Registrant Organization: THIS - DOMAIN - IS - FOR - SALE
Registrant Street: 2635 Walnut Street
Registrant City: Denver
Registrant State/Province: Colorado
Registrant Postal Code: 80205
Registrant Country: United States
Registrant Phone: +1.3034785206
Registrant Email: sales@hugedomains.com
I also found LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter accounts, as well as a home address and phone number that appear relevant but have not been confirmed.

In the mean time, you can contact them here and inquire about their "Service You Can Trust" claim.  I'm hoping someone with the ability to record phone calls can place one to their 1-303-893-0552 number and ask about the morality of this, and then post it on YouTube. Be great if they reached ol' Jeffrey himself. It looks like CO is a one-party consent state...

UPDATE: I'll let you know if they reply.
