Challenges Police Chiefs to Debate
"Man
did not enter into society to become worse than
he was before, nor to have less rights than he had
before, but to have those rights better secured. His
natural rights are the foundation of all his civil
rights." — Thomas
Paine, Rights
of Man,
Part I, 1791, as found in Thomas
Paine Collected Writings, p. 464. |
Utah Veteran
Challenges Police Chiefs to Debate
(Update for 9/10/13): Letters to
news editors comprise another means of making your voice
heard. Recently, Cory Green of Bountiful, wrote a letter to
the Davis Clipper, citing our alert, "Utah
Police Chiefs Overwhelmingly Support Gun Control". He
also challenged any police chief to a public debate. Here is
his letter (click
here to read it at the Davis Clipper site):
Editor,
I encourage all readers of this to go to the
following link:
utgunrights.com/alertsupdates/2013/alert060313.htm.
Local police chiefs sent a letter to Gov. Gary Herbert,
and then push for accountability with local city mayors,
as I fully intend on doing.
I will gladly debate publicly anyone of these
police chiefs on HB76 and about why citizens should have
the right to carry their guns secretly without a permit. I
am calling out the following police chiefs for their lack
of regard to the constitutional rights and
responsibilities they have to “we the people” which all of
these men swore in front of their city councils and Mayors
to “uphold and defend” and each of them failed to.
As a reminder, anyone can open carry without a background
check under current law.
It is a malicious violation of the 14th
Amendment to tell concealed carry holders they can’t have
the same right as “those who open carry”.
The following wrote to Gov. Herbert asking him
to veto our rights to carry concealed with no permit or
payment to Utah: Chief Tom Ross of Bountiful Police, Chief
Todd Hixon of West Bountiful, Chief Greg Butler of Woods
Cross, Chief Craig Black of North Salt Lake, Chief Sol
Oberg of Kaysville and Chief Neal Worsley of Centerville,
in addition to the chiefs of Layton, Syracuse, Clearfield,
and Farmington.
Letters signed by each Chief quote that, “We are
worried that the potential enactment of HB76, abridges the
ability of public safety officers from responding to the
concerns of our residents and businesses.”
In other words, allowing the 2nd Amendment
rights to the citizens of Utah and Davis County somehow
abridges their ability to do their jobs. If that’s the
case, then these chiefs and their officers need to go back
through the Academy for further training and need to go to
their mayors and city council members and be accountable
for their failed promise and oath, to “support and defend
the Constitution of the United States.”
From a local Patriot and Veteran,
Cory Green
Bountiful
UT Gun Rights would like to thank Cory
Green and everyone who looks for opportunities to share common
sense with others. We are grateful to stand with you.
