Is It OK For Santa To Pack A Gun..?"‏ 'Obama Da Dog'


The question remains, is it OK for Santa to pack a gun? a shorter version
of this blog appeared as an opinion article in the 12-17-12 edition of the Kaua'i Garden Island news
titled, "Cops should carry Guns."

I would like to respond to the recent Letter to the Editor in the Kaua'i Garden Island news, by Judie Hoeppner."Why was Santa packing a gun? Enclosed is  the link to her letter;

Enclosed is my response;

 Judie says in a public forum to Kauai Chief of Police Darryl Perry,
"Dear Chief Perry,I am writing to express my utter dismay and disgust that you would allow officers to wear a Santa costume and pack a gun!"

Judie, I think it's great the officers take time  to be with our keiki. There's a real world out there and police are there for our safety  and to protect.  Just a few days ago some nut case in Oregon opened fire  on a shopping center killing two people and injuring many others and today a deranged gunman opened fire on an elementary school in Connecticut masssacring  25  with 18 being children.

I'd rather have Santa packing a gun and being alert just in case things go out of control and from the looks of society things are out of control.
