We, the American people have begun the countdown to our next Shemitah! We have 684 days, let me repeat 684 days to our next Shemitah on 9-13-15, the 29th of Elul 5775 on the Hebrew calendar. Friends prepare yourself. Time is running short. Let me remind you, America faced its first harbinger on 9-11-01 with the attacks on the WTC and the Pentagon. Our second harbinger occurred on 2008 with the financial meltdown. Harbingers occur every 7 years if a people or nation refuses to repent. To date we have refused to repent before our God. In fact, Tom Daschle and John Edwards and Obama all defied God and said the people of the U.S. would build bigger, better and stronger. This caused Daschle’s and Edwards downfall. Obama awaits his Shemitah. Look carefully at the date September 13, thirteen, of course, is Satan's number. Let me say it again, we a little less than 2 years to repent.
Rabbi Cahn, who wrote the book above, says our next Shemitah will be financial in nature. Obama is facing his personal shemitah, if he does not repent God will cause his downfall. I do not know how or when that downfall will take place but it will happen. If you wish to read more about harbingers and the Shemitah See Watchman Report 13-109 concerning Blood Moons, tetrads and solar eclipses.
Friends, there are 168 days until the blood moons and
solar eclipses begin on 15 April 2014/15 Nisan 5774!
On Passover 2014
the first of a series of mysterious astronomical events will occur that will
have Christians looking up at the night skies.
Pastor Mark Biltz made an amazing discovery in
2008. Biltz had been studying prophecies that focus on the sun and moon.
These prophecies are God’s signal to his Chosen people and Christians,
like 'one if by land, two if by sea.' "The Hebrew word implies it's a
signal for coming or His appearing." Indeed, Pastor Biltz is correct these
signals are divine appointments.
In the book of
Genesis chapter 1 verse 14 God states the lights in the sky would be "be
for signs, and for seasons."
Over the last 500 years, blood-red moons have
fallen on the first day of Passover three separate times. These occurrences
were connected to some of the most significant days in Jewish history: In
1492-1493, the final year of the Spanish Inquisition Jews were expelled from
Spain;
Every heavenly
body is controlled by the unseen hand of God, which signals coming events to
humanity. There are cosmic accidents in God’s universe.

| Blood Moon over Antonia's Fortress in Jeruslaem |
Friends, take heed
and prayfully prepare because the next series of four blood moons occurs at
Passover and Sukkot in 2014 and 2015.
In the Old
Testament, the prophet Joel chapter 2 verse 31 states, "The sun shall be
turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the
terrible day of the LORD come."
In the New Testament, Jesus is quoted as saying,
"Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be
darkened, and the moon shall not give her light. ... And then shall appear the
sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth
mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with
power and great glory." (Matthew 24:29-30)
Acts 2 states: "And I will show wonders in
the heavens and in the earth, blood and fire and pillars of smoke. The sun
shall be turned into darkness and the moon into blood before the great and
terrible day of the Lord comes."
"God wants us to look at the biblical
calendar, the reason we need to be watching is because God will signal His
appearance. But we have to know what to be watching as well” said Pastor Biltz. Friends, we need to be watching
the Jewish feasts and their correlation to blood moons and solar eclipses.
Blood moons occur
during lunar eclipses.
In 2014 two eclipses occur one on Passover and
the high holy day of Rosh Hashanah, the first day of the seventh Hebrew month.
Two more take place in 2015, also on Jewish feast days. Friends, this is
not hocus pocus, these blood moons and solar eclipse are based on NASA projections and recorded celestial
history.
Friends, now is
the time to accept Yeshua Hamashiach/Jesus Christ as your Lord, Messiah and
Savior. Every heavenly body is controlled by the unseen hand of God. Get ready
for a roller coaster ride beginning in 2014 because Israel’s and your
redemption is drawing nigh.
Recently Ohio, Rep. Ron Hood proposed our “Ohio
Ultrasound Access Act” (H.R.200). I say God bless Ron Hood.
The legislation would make it law that
abortionists perform an ultrasound before every abortion and then present the
ultrasound to the mother so she can see and hear her unborn child.
Our “Ultrasound Access Act” will make a huge
difference.
In other states, like Texas and Virginia where
NPLA members helped pass similar ultrasound laws, there have been significant
drops in the abortion rate.
But don’t be confused by the whirlwind of
misinformation put out by the abortion industry. Here are some of the real
facts about ultrasound laws:
***
Studies show that up to 90% of mothers who are shown an ultrasound of their
unborn child reject abortion and choose life.
***
Currently, abortionists in Ohio are required to show the mother her ultrasound
IF they choose to do one -- so many abortionists typically won’t do an
ultrasound at all to avoid this illuminating step.
*** In
our bill a mandatory 48-hour waiting period after the ultrasound allows the
mother to avoid the pressure of making an instant decision in front of the
abortionist -- and to hear alternatives to abortion.
*** The
“Ultrasound Access Act” also mandates that if the abortionist won’t perform the
ultrasound testing he’ll provide the mother with a list of local facilities
which will perform the test without cost.
As we work to pass
this bill in Ohio, the really exciting thing is that other states are closely watching
our “Ultrasound Access Act” work its way through the Ohio system with an eye to
passing their own laws next year.
So step by step pro-lifers are steadily gaining
ground and saving the unborn.
Pray more, work harder, stay informed.
It’s working and it’s scaring the heck out of
the pro-aborts.

*Gestational weeks are measured
from the first day of the woman's last menstruation and not from the day of
conception. Though it does not provide an accurate fetal age (which is roughly
2 weeks less than the gestational age), it is the simplest way for an OB/GYN to
age a pregnancy since the day of conception is often not known. Hence, if an
abortion occurs at 8 weeks gestation, it is actually aborting a 6 week embryo.
The images on our Prenatal Development and Abortion Pictures pages are more precisely captioned
with fetal ages in accordance with standard teaching texts on prenatal
development.
HOW ARE ABORTIONS PERFORMED?
·
Ninety-six
per cent of the more than 140,000 second-trimester abortions performed annually
in the USA are accomplished by the technique of dilation and evacuation (D&E) (NAF).
WHO IS PERFORMING
ABORTIONS?
·
The
number of abortion providers declined by 11% between 1996 and 2000 (from 2,042
to 1,819). It declined another 2% between 2000 and 2005 (from 1,819 to 1,787)
It has remained stable between 2005 and 2008 (1,787 to 1,793). (AGI).
·
Most
abortions in the USA are provided in freestanding clinics; in 2005, only 5%
occurred in hospitals, down from 22% in 1980, and only 2% took place in
physician's offices (NAF).
ABORTION FATALITY
·
In
2008, 12 women died as a result of complications from known legal induced
abortion (CDC).
·
The
number of deaths attributable to legal induced abortion was highest before the
1980s (CDC).
·
In
1972 (the year before abortion was federally legalized), a total of 24 women
died from causes known to be associated with legal abortions, and 39 died as a
result of known illegal abortions (CDC).
THE COST OF ABORTION
MEDICAL ABORTION
·
In
2005, 57% of abortion providers, or 1,026 facilities, provided one or more
types of medical
abortions, a 70% increase from the first half of 2001. At least 10%
of nonhospital abortion providers offer only medication abortion services
(AGI).
·
In
2005, an estimated 161,100 early medication
abortions were
performed in nonhospital facilities (AGI).
ABORTION AND CONTRACEPTION
·
Induced
abortions usually result from unintended pregnancies, which often occur despite
the use of contraception (CDC).
·
8%
of women having abortions have never used a method of birth control (AGI).
·
Oral
contraceptives, the most widely used reversible method of contraception, carry
failure rates of 6 to 8% in actual practice (NAF).
·
Condom
use confers protection against STIs, but it does not provide top-tier
protection from pregnancy because of breakage, slippage, inconsistent use, and
low continuation rates (NAF).
ABORTION AND MINORS
·
40%
of minors having an abortion report that neither of their parents knew about
the abortion (AGI).
·
35
states currently enforce parental consent or notification laws for minors
seeking an abortion: AL, AR, AZ, CO, DE, FL, GA, IA, ID, IN, KS, KY, LA, MA, MD, MI , MN, MO, MS, NC, ND, NE, OH, OK, PA, RI,SC, SD, TN, TX, UT, VA, WI, WV, and WY. The Supreme Court ruled that
minors must have the alternative of seeking a court order authorizing the
procedure (AGI).
ABORTION AND PUBLIC
FUNDS
·
The
U.S. Congress has barred the use of federal Medicaid funds to pay for abortions,
except when the woman's life would be endangered by a full-term pregnancy or in
cases of rape or incest (AGI).
17 states (AK, AZ, CA, CT, HI, IL, MA, MD, MN, MT, NJ, NM, NY, OR, VT, WA and WV) do use public funds to pay for abortions
for some poor women. About 14% of all abortions in the United States are paid
for with public funds (virtually all from the state) (AGI).

| Sheriff Nick Finch |
An update from Sheriff Mack at the the Liberty
County Courthouse in Florida:
Well, I was wrong! I never thought the case against Sheriff Nick Finch would
make it to trial, but that is exactly what is going to happen, tomorrow morning, October
29, 2013 at 0900. (Happy
Halloween, nothing could be creepier!) The charges against this good man have
been so flimsy and frivolous that I was certain a trial would be out of the
question. But the tyrants are moving forward with their agenda to stop Sheriffs
in their tracks and to make them answerable to the State! This case, this abuse
of authority, and the inherent injustice associated with this case, puts
everything at stake that we all have fought so long for; the power and
independence of the county sheriff and his duty to stand for individual
liberties.
Sheriff Finch did exactly what
all of us have been hoping and praying for now for so many years; he nullified
a gun charge and the arrest of a law-abiding citizen. So the State, under the
direction of one corrupt deputy Attorney General (Willie Meggs) with complicity
of an equally corrupt FL Governor, actually arrested and removed from office
the duly elected Sheriff of Liberty County, Florida. Governor Scott and Mr.
Meggs claim that Sheriff Finch destroyed public records when he released the
innocent man arrested by one of his deputies. (You can read more about this
case at cspoa.org.) So of course, they nullified the
election of Sheriff Finch who had only been in office a few months when all
this occurred. Which begs the question: which is worse, the Sheriff rectifying
an arrest of an innocent man and possibly whiting out the man's name on the
jail roster or the AG and Governor destroying the election by the people of
Liberty county who chose Sheriff Finch last November to be their their Chief
Law Enforcement Officer?
Now we have
Sheriff Finch going into the Lion's den with his trial starting Tuesday morning.
The jury has been selected. I thought doing so would be impossible. Why?
Because if the prospective jurors voted for Finch then that would be grounds
for dismissal from jury service. Likewise, if the prospective jurors voted against
Finch, that too would disqualify them from jury service. If the prospective
jurors were so apathetic as to not vote at all that should also be grounds for
disqualification. If you don't care enough to vote in an election how are you
going to care enough to vote on a jury?
But still, a jury has been selected and yes, Sheriff Finch puts his life and
career on the line for all of us tomorrow. I am here to support him and
his good wife in every way that I can. Tonight I will hit my knees and pray for
Sheriff Finch and his family. But more importantly, I will pray for truth and
justice. I will pray for America and the hope that we can restore liberty one
county, one good Sheriff at a time.
In liberty,
Richard Mack
Watch the video below, it is not a nice day in the neighborhood.
The video below explains the purpose of my blog.
The operation features a jovial animated mascot, a cartoon RFID
chip named “Chippie”. They use the character to demonstrate to their young
audience the benefits of having the RFID implanted under your skin.
After a whimsical 30 minute cartoon following Chippie during one
of his many adventures, there is a puppet show where children are encouraged to
ask Chippie any questions they may have relating to the RFID chip or the
implantation process. Each child leaves the exhibition with a “Chippie” stuffed
doll, coloring book and several informative pamphlets for their parents to read
that may assuage any lingering fears to their children receiving the device.
The videos below are about RFID chips.
http://southweb.org/lifewise/crossing-the-rfid-rubicon/
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rul9R7-h5mw&sns=em
Many of them were eager to get implanted with the chip on the
spot. “It felt like a pinch”, explained Doug Walker who attended a recent
Chippie seminar a Carbon County, Wyoming school. Holding up his slightly
swollen left hand bearing the tiny hole where the needle had been inserted he
said. “Now I can get free candy every time me and mommy go to the bank or the
grocery store!”, he beamed proudly. “Chippie is my new best friend who lives
inside of me!”
There you have it, plain as day.
Apparently the kids are clamoring for it. Or so they would like it to appear.
Remember first and foremost, this is a world of propaganda when it comes to
pushing anything official, so you can generally read the reverse of just about
anything they say. And since when are the PTBs out to alleviate our fears? Only
when it’s fear of them. And people have every right to be.
And “Walt Eisner” is the creator
of this Orwellian character? You think that’s his real name? What comes into
your mind when you see that name? Right – Walt Disney and Michael Eisner,
Disney himself, the brand, and the former Disney CEO kingpin merged into one
name. “Parents, don’t worry, it’s as American as Mickey Rat!” Don’t kid
yourself, these subliminal messages are extremely powerful.
It’s quite easy to make anything
a fad in this social milieu. Practically all you have to say in this blind leading
the blind environment is “everyone’s doing it!” and into the tank they
go. And guess what? Those who refuse the chip will not only be unfavored and
frowned upon and considered suspicious, but they’ll be unserviceable. When
buying ability is attached to your chip identity and information and you’re not
happily going along with the program, its gonna be:
“Off with his chip!”
Walt Eisner, the creator of the “Chippie” character was summoned
to speak to parents during the maiden flight of the brand new campaign. “We
would like to assure parents that there is nothing to fear with the
implementation of this new program. It is something that will inevitably
benefit everyone in the long run and there are virtually no downsides. This
will create elevated ease, convenience and security in all everyday
transactions. With the technology available these days, the program is long
overdue.”
If you drew yours a long time ago like many of us have, these successive decisions are simple. However, for those who’ve been ignoring or compromising their convictions for whatever reasons, it’s going to be a lot tougher. When people won’t even consider the idea that something with such serious repercussions and consequences as 9/11 didn’t happen the way they told us, we have a serious problem as a society.
Even Christians who’ve shouted about this chip as the Mark of the Beast for ages are changing their tune, instead being steered by Zionists and NWO advocates alike to believe their real enemy is not a centralized hyper controlling world state, but Islam. How convenient is that?
On the battle goes, but the hubris of this uptick of Orwellian controls, surveillance and militarization is remarkable. Like the old adage how if you tell a big enough lie and repeat it often enough it becomes the truth. Such is our current world.
Don’t take the chip and tell others the same. And beware of their doing it while you are getting “treated” for something or under anesthesia. Have someone with you at all times. They also administer vaccines during those times without your knowledge, or embed smaller chip versions in vaccines, even while claiming it’s a shot for something else. Find alternative healing techniques; that fascist medical system is nasty to the bone.
By the way, I’ve seen some interesting chip disabling techniques on line that seem to have potential if you find you’ve been chipped, or were coerced into it. Search them out and store the information.
Be well. Practice living outside the matrix. There are muscles to be developed but it’s not overwhelming. Live there, speak from there, interact with others from there. Don’t operate from their shifting sands of vague, easily manipulated relativism. Decisions are much clearer and easier standing on a firm foundation of truth.
That’s what keeps the fires of Truth and conscious awareness spreading.
I quote Theodore Roosevelt before his death in 1919 "These International bankers
and Rockefeller-Standard Oil interests control the majority of newspapers and
the columns of these papers to club into submission or drive out of office,
officials who refuse to do the bidding of the powerful corrupt cliques which
compose the invisible government."
The NY Times on March 26, 1922 printed the following quote from --John Hylan, Mayor of New York, "The warning of Theodore
Roosevelt has much timeliness today, for the real menace of our republic is
this invisible government which like a giant octopus sprawls it's slimy length
over city, state, and nation.... It seizes in it's long and powerful
tentacles our executive officers, our legislative bodies, our schools, our
courts, our newspapers, and every agency created for the public
protection"....
"To depart from mere
generalizations, let me say that at the head of this octopus are the
Rockefeller-Standard Oil interest and a small group of powerful banking houses
generally referred to as the international bankers. The little coterie of
powerful international bankers virtually run the United States government for
their own selfish purposes."
"These international bankers
and Rockefeller-Standard Oil interests control the majority of newspapers and
magazines in this country."
Dianne Francis of the N.Y. Post wrote the following
editorial on, October 26, 2013
"No two nations in the world
are as integrated, economically and socially, as the United States and Canada.
We share geography, values and a gigantic border."
What serious problems exist between
such close friends that the best solution is to merge the two countries?
* heavy regulations
* security controls
* border police
* extensive drug smuggling
* terrorist threats
* Talks to create joint
infrastructure have dragged on for years
* An initiative announced in 2011
aimed at creating a two-country security perimeter, by blending police,
immigration, customs and anti-terrorist efforts, has still not delivered
results."
And, the answer to all these
"problems"?
"The United States and Canada
could merge into one country, or follow a European Union model that eliminates
the border without merging the two governments."
Now, the tone of this article
changes abruptly as she discusses the many benefits of merging.
"If combined, the US and
Canada would have an economy larger than the European Union. The two would be
an economic superpower, bigger than South America in size, with more energy,
metals and minerals, water, arable land and technology than any other nation,
all protected by Americas military."
"Citizens of the merged
countries would have more options in terms of jobs, business opportunities,
climates, studies and lifestyles."
"The US will gain national
security, energy and resource independence and create millions of jobs in
helping develop Canada’s northern region; and Canada will be able to defend and
develop its huge landmass, overcoming lack of capital, workers, technology and
military might."
Is this editorial the opening salvo
in the global Illuminati effort to merge the U.S., Canada and Mexico into Kingdom
#1 that answers to the anti-christ. This kingdom could be called MexUsCan. After
all, the Elite plans to reorganize all nations of the world into 10 kingdoms,
an action which will fulfill Daniel 7:7-8 and the Book of Revelation.
What about Mexico? "In 1987, Canda
and the U.S. signed the Free Trade Agreement and Mexico joined in 1994.”
Nearly every year since 1994, the
leaders of the United States, Canada, and Mexico have met to discuss this
planned merger. As soon as the political climate favors this merger, you will
hear President Obama issue a firm call to action to merge all three countries.
I encourage you to follow two
developing stories, without which this merger cannot occur:
* Redefining Citizenship --
Overnight, citizens of these three countries will instantly be declared to be
North American citizens. Therefore, I believe the current calls we hear for
"immigration reform" will be used as a "Trojan Horse" to
merge into the North American Union.
* Manipulating the currency of each
nation so it can meld into the new currency of the new Union. Consequently, the
American Dollar must decline in value and in acceptability as the "World's
Reserve Currency". Already, China, Russia and other leading nations
throughout the world are talking about creating a new global reserve currency,
thus moving away from the Dollar.
The model of currency transition
will follow the EURO plan, where the currency was successfully created that is
now the currency of the European Union.
Entertainment Weekly reported on October 24, 2013 that "Captain America:
The Winter Soldier was always going to be an intriguing entry in Marvels Phase
2. Winter Soldier looks nothing like the original Captain America. Caps
first movie was set in Joe Johnstons 1940s, a propaganda-poster retro-world filled
with gruff Army colonels and sneering Nazis. Winter Soldier finds Cap
entrenched in the modern age a man out of his own time ... New weapons, new
villains, and a whole new situation for the Star-Spangled hero. "
This
next quote is very interesting, because it reveals the hidden agenda for which
this movie was created; to tear down the Old Order.
"Robert
Redford joins the Cap squad as Alexander Pierce, a S.H.I.E.L.D. head honcho 'To
build a better world sometimes means tearing the old one down', he says."
This
type of rhetoric is standard in New Age / Illuminati literature, where author
after author explains how the beloved and the coveted New World Order cannot be
established until the "forces of change" knock down the Old World
Order.
What is
the "force" which will knock down our current civilization? World War
III.
Antichrist will literally stride on to the world scene
at the conclusion of a Third World War.
Captain
America and Robert Redford thus joins a number of public movie personalities
fighting to establish a New Order; at least, the script writer is honest enough
to admit that the Captain must first destroy before he can aid in the
rebuilding. This amazing Illuminati plan will fulfill numerous prophecies as it
is unfolded.
Zero Hedge News reported on 26 October 2013 that a potentially major “legal glitch” could
cause the healthcare law to unravel in 36 states. The Affordable Care Act
proposes to make health insurance affordable to millions of low-income
Americans by offering them tax credits to help cover the cost. To receive the
credit, the law twice says they must buy insurance “through an exchange
established by the state”. But 36 states have decided against opening exchanges
for now.
Critics of the law have seized on the glitch. They have
filed four lawsuits that urge judges to rule the Obama administration must
abide by the strict wording of the law, even if doing so dismantles it in
nearly two-thirds of the states. And the Obama administration has no hope of
repairing the glitch by legislation as long as the Republicans control the
House. This has the potential to sink Obamacare. “It could make the current
website problems seem minor by comparison” said a health care policy
expert."
Can you imagine the relief from tens of millions of
American consumers over the collapse of ObamaCare?
CNBC News reported on 25 October 2013 that "Gas
futures are trading around a 52-week low, with the recent sell off in crude and
more downside predicted, gas will trade even lower. Two other factors will
likely push prices lower than in previous years. First, the Middle East is very
quiet on the geopolitical front right now, so there shouldn't be much of a risk
premium in this market. Second, let's not forget that Superstorm Sandy happened
around this time last year.
So where do I see gasoline going now?
There is no reason why we can't see gas futures trade
at least 10 to 15 cents lower from these levels. But $2.40 a gallon should be a
good base of support.
That would be great news for the beleaguered American
Middle Class consumer!
Let us review, for a moment, a prediction made by
Republican Newt Gingrich, writing in Human Events on 7 March 2012. He predicted
a gas price plunge, but to a much lower level that $2.40 per gallon.
Here is wht Newt Gingrich said, "... the price of
natural gas has collapsed, largely due to an enormous increase in American supplies
made possible by new discoveries and technologies ... The reversal comes thanks
to the shale gas revolution, improvements in technology that have made it
possible to retrieve the natural gas trapped in shale. In the period of just a
few years, our estimated supply in North America has gone from less than a
decade’s worth of gas left to more than a century’s worth."
Reuter's News reported on March 8, 2012 that "North
Dakota has overtaken California as the third-largest U.S. oil-producing state,
as the controversial fracking technology boosted shale oil output and cut the
Midwestern state's unemployment rate to the lowest in the country ... The
state's January oil output rose to 546,050 barrels per day (bpd), up 59.2
percent from a year earlier, after output in the Midwest state's Bakken and
Three Forks shale prospects rose some 11,000 bpd to a record 480,700 bpd ...
North Dakota, located along the Canadian border, has upended the U.S. oil
market since 2007 and its output has eclipsed that of OPEC member Ecuador
thanks to advances in horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing. Production
has doubled in the three years since 2009."
"Oil companies say there are more jobs than people
in North Dakota."
Truly, this news is very good! Oil prices affect retail
prices up and down the economic ladder. Lower gas prices mean lower
transportation costs, which would allow food retails to go down, all other
factors remaining equal. Lower gas prices means that people will have some
money left over at the end of the month, thus stimulating the economy greatly.
Can you imagine the Geo-Political advantages would flow
from America no longer being dependent upon foreign oil? I can think of several
right off the bat:
1) America could become a net exporter of oil and gas,
rather than the world's greatest importer. Instantly, our national balance sheet would start to
heal. Our government might even become serious about paying off the debt. The
reason for the mountains of national debt have been realized, anyway. Our
leaders created this huge national debt so they could maneuver this country
into a Fascist Economy and create a national consciousness in favor of a One Worl Government,
Economy and Religion.
America could become so economically powerful so
quickly that she could regain her position of the dominant Economic Babylon of
Revelation 18.
Several people were at a party in Arizona when a 27-year-old man
got into an argument with some of the party goers. Eventually the man was
asked to leave. He was gone for a short time but soon returned with a
rifle and started firing shots outside the house.
The 27-year-old then started aiming his rifle at some of the
guests at the party. That’s when the 39-year-old concealed handgun
carrier drew his firearm and shot the gunman.
The concealed carrier remained on the scene until the police
arrived at about 1:30am and the suspect was taken to the hospital with
life-threatening injuries.
Glendale Police Department spokeswoman Officer Tracey Breeden said
that the concealed carrier was justified in shooting the gunman.
“This is standard procedure under these type of circumstances,”
Breeden said. “Information and evidence detectives have gathered leads them to
believe the 27-year-old was not only firing his rifle, endangering partygoers,
but also pointed the weapon at other partygoers, endangering them, prior to the
39-year-old displaying a weapon and shooting the 27-year-old.”
The investigation is ongoing and charges are pending, Breeden
said.
In the state of Arizona a license is not required in order to
carry a concealed handgun. Who knows how many lives were saved that night
because a law abiding gun owner was responsible enough to carry a gun and smart
enough to use it when lives were on the line.
This easily could have been a mass shooting in Arizona, but it was
all stopped because a good guy with a gun was there to stop the bad guy with
the gun.
