FOP ridiculed a judge's
proper ruling regarding concealed carry in Ohio. This letter was written to FOP
President Fangman in response to said ridicule.
Mr. Keith Fangman
July 20, 2000
President
Fraternal Order of Police
Cincinnati, OH
Good Morning.
I read your comments
in the Cincinnati Enquirer regarding Judge Rothman's decision.
As a world traveling
businessman, setting up business all over the United States, feel comfortable in
addressing your comment in the Enquirer.
Quote:
“This misdirected ruling opens the barn door for every violent criminal
to carry a weapon and get away scott free.”
I assume as a former police
officer, you know from your training that absolutes are always wrong or a lie,
or to embellish a weak point. The
word “every” is like all or none and most school children know that absolute
are false statements. Blood on the
judge’s hands is fear spinning not rational thought.
As you well know being a
former police officer that any felon can be immediately sent back to prison
having a firearm anywhere in his home, on his person, or in his vehicle.
This is a federal not local law. I
would suggest that local police and all police supporters encourage arrests on
this basis, and NOT to spin fear in the public.
Please review my article of
self realization that spinmeisters, and uninformed self-serving politicians
were spinning fear to be reelected.
I would image that your life
is full of service and satisfaction to be honored as President of the Fraternal
Order of Police.
I will fax you three
articles.
- A
husband’s view of self defenses (My realization that 20,000 gun laws will
not stop felons.)
- Police
cannot protect (Accumulation of
articles of NO DUTY of police to protect individuals.)
- 2nd
for dummies. (Recap of perhaps one
hundred facts and myths of the self-defense debate.)
I will respect your comments
should you decide to call. I am a
rational, reasonable gentleman. I
will respect you more if you do call than if you do not.
We need to stop “gun nuts,” both criminals, and uneducated do-gooders
with no knowledge. Those who profess knowledge are as guilty as the bad guys who
pull the trigger. Two million
felons in our nation's jails with 1.5 million rotated out annually, with 75% of
those committing more crime, serious crime.
Does you wife, mother, daughter, know how to stop a rapist.
Second amendment moms do.
Best Regards
Paul Williams

PS. I
have great interest in the city of Cincinnati, as I have a student at the
University.
