Chicago Politician Swept UP By TSA Tyranny!

Sen. Donne Trotter's Police Booking Photo
Chicago, ILDemocratic State Senator Donne Trotter was taking a trip and placed his belongings on a conveyor belt to be X-Rayed by the soulless miscreants hired by the TSA.   Like many of us Trotter was mentally preoccupied with the trip and forgot a prohibited item in his bag.  Most of the time such items are simply cosmetics or some other harmless liquid.  This time however it was a Beretta .25 semi-automatic pistol.
The alarms went off and the cops responded and zero-tolerance kicked in and now Senator Trotter sits in a jail cell waiting a bond hearing before a judge on a Class Four Felony crime.
Trotter has consistently voted on the wrong side of gun rights issues including the right of law-abiding citizens to carry concealed weapons for self-defense.  The problem is the good Senator feels the need to carry a gun for his own personal protection.
Trotter found a loophole of sorts by getting under a security guard/private detective agency license as an employee.  With those credentials he can have some limited legal protection should he get caught with a gun.  He claimed to the TSA and police that he worked a shift the night before his trip as a guard.  
Let me be the first to say that I believe that story to be pure hogwash.  Trotter does not need to supplement his income as a poorly paid security guard.  He does however feel the need to make an excuse for packing the gun. 

Let’s take the little Beretta .25 under consideration.  It’s a gun barely suitable for any serious defense.  It’s woefully inadequate for security or a private armed security guard.  The gun is tiny and very concealable so he can hide it from the cops in most situations. 










Today Trotter is drinking the same poison he’s fed to the people of Illinois as a politician.  He was a front-runner for the Congressional seat vacated by another accused criminal Jessie Jackson, Jr.  There he could force the entire nation to the kind of tyranny he has experienced during the last 24 hours on the entire nation.
We need to end the bogus arrests of forgetful passengers who in good faith place their belongings in the hands of the TSA.  We need to simply allow the carrying of concealed weapons for self-defense of the law-abiding folks in Illinois like the rest of our nation.
Yes, I have to admit I’m enjoying seeing a civil rights hating politician get paid back for this own tyranny in kind.  Perhaps this should serve as a wakeup call that we need to be a little more reasonable.  After all nobody believes that Trotter had any evil intent to threaten or hurt anyone with his little lady’s gun.  Why then must Trotter face felony charges or any charges at all?  Give him back his gun and set him free.  But don’t forget the rest of us along the way.

Good for him. Maybe getting a taste of his own medicine will wake him up. The citizens of this country have a right to keep and bear arms for self defense and no one, including Trotter and his Democratic ilk, can arbitrarily ban this basic freedom. I hope he got bedbugs or something during his stay in lockup.

Lets face it folks,in Chicago the politically connected carry guns and regualr folks cannot.Many skirt the laws by becoming security officers/supervisors(on paper)or pay a Licensed PI(becoming more prevalent)to sponge off of their license to carry a gun in Illinois.

And I bet he voted against concealed carry last year when it came to a vote. What a f**king hypocrite. 2013 will be different for Illinois though. A federal judge ordered the General Assembly to draft a CCW law in 180 days.

A 40 Caliber Nightmare Is Caught On Tape.

So you’re confident that that .40 caliber S&W service round will keep you safe. Maybe you’ll have second thoughts after you see this video. One hot summer night in 1994 Tempe and Mesa Arizona police were involved in a pursuit with this suspect who ran into a stranger’s apartment to hide after being shot TWICE in the chest. He was shirtless and you can see the blood pumping out of those two wounds. What’s really frightening is just how agile this fellow is as he struts to the ambulance. If he was not handcuffed and had a knife or a gun, ask yourself if he could still hurt you, your partner or a hostage? If your jurisdiction demands that officers carry either the 9MM or the .40 Caliber S&W it’s time to show this video to your bosses and lobby to have the .45 ACP round authorized. The switch may well reduce the screaming by self-appointed community activists about how many rounds police had to use on a suspect. The really talented and courageous video journalist, Karen Ke...

America Will See Its Worst Race Riot Yet This Summer

Star Prosecution Witness, Rachel Jeantel Sanford, FL —Yes, the George Zimmerman trial here has thousands of African-Americans getting ready for some serious bloodletting. I don’t want to make idle and dire predictions but this nation has never been so divided and racially sensitive.  Our African-American President took sides on this case at the very beginning.  That ratified a George Zimmerman guilty verdict in the minds of millions. There’s just one little problem, and that is the murder case should have never been filed.  It was filed purely for political reasons despite the fact that it was a simple justifiable homicide.  Zimmerman was on the block watch lookout program and followed a suspicious Trayvon Martin after he used an improper entrance to a gated community.  Zimmerman was acting as the eyes and ears of the Sanford Police Department. Martin did not like being followed and knew that he could easily beat up the out-of-shape...

The origin of the feature film, COME FRIDAY…

CLick On the pictures to see full size versions. Long ago there was a young lady I had the hots for in a big way (Yes, I know that hots is not a word). She was pretty, incredibly bright, and had some real elegance about her. She had a love for children and basic kindness that you don’t often see in someone her age. I met her parents and could understand she came from a much more stable home than mine. I was raised by a single, welfare mom and suddenly found myself way out-classed. For whatever reasons things did not workout they way I had hoped. Sadly for me, we went on our separate ways. From time to time I’d run into this lady in various places where our job had taken us. Whenever this happened my heart would skip a beat or two. I left my hometown Chicago, and moved to Arizona where I founded my detective agency. As a private eye and soon a TV news producer too, my career took me to the highest profile criminal events in Arizona and throughout the country. There’s no question that ...
