Each time there’s another shooting, bombing or killing that gets widespread attention, Kelly Cogswell knows she’s going to have a busy day. As the concealed carry coordinator for Weld County, Cogswell reviews each permit application that comes though Weld County. When she first took the job in 2009, the county had issued roughly 2,500 concealed carry permits. Now the county has issued 17,800. So far this year, the county’s already issued 2,371 permits, almost as many as the county issued in those first 19 years. That’s a lot of people packing guns. Guns aren’t going away, even if some people...

Fremont Burglary Suspect Who Entered Fumigated Home Dies FREMONT (CBS SF) — A burglar who was caught on video breaking into and stealing from a home being fumigated with a hazardous chemical collapsed and later died after leaving the property, police said. The apartment building located in the 39800 block of Fremont Boulevard was being fumigated for bed bugs and was covered with a tent. The residents shared the surveillance footage from the camera they purchased just days earlier out of fear one of the fumigation workers might steal from them. What they wound up seeing was even more shocking.

The Denver Broncos have lost their two main quarterbacks from their epic 2016 Super Bowl Championship winning season. We need a proven winner to continue to move this team in the right direction. Coach Gary Kubiak's offense would thrive with Tebow under center. He and the legendary John Elway can make this happen. We dont need a subpar throwaway from some other team, we need an original Bronco who has the fire, desire, and love of the game to play as a Bronco again! As a bonus the Bronco fans would be ecstatic! He just wins, we all know this!...

Bill that would lower concealed carry age for some raises concern about military suicide rate What started as a family trip for Sen. John Cooke, R-Greeley, to the Pawnee National Grasslands a month and a half ago ended up inspiring a bill that would change the concealed-carry age for members of the military in Colorado. Cooke’s daughter, a 19-year-old member of the U.S. Army Reserves who just completed basic training, said despite her training, she wasn’t able to purchase a concealed carry permit as she was under age. Colorado law requires anyone applying for a concealed handgun permit to be...

Cargill Meat Solutions in Fort Morgan will allow more than 150 Muslim employees to reapply for their positions following a mass termination in December. The Wichita-based company let its employees go after a misunderstanding about the company policy on prayer breaks escalated. The Somali Muslim employees are being represented by the Council on American-Islamic Relations. Cargill representatives reviewed the no-call, no-show termination policy which led to the terminations and decided to allow the workers fired in the dispute to reapply for their jobs after a 30-day period, rather than the company policy of 180 days. A CAIR news release on...

Greeley rape victim challenges Obama's stand on guns at meeting A Greeley resident and rape survivor spent Friday organizing interviews in the Eastern time after she hit the national spotlight for criticizing President Barack Obama on national television. Kimberly Corban took vacation time from the Weld District Attorney’s office, where she works as the public information officer, to take the stage on CNN’s “Guns in America” town hall special Thursday. “I was running on the treadmill at the FunPlex watching the (president’s) executive action press conference when I got a call from CNN,” she said of learning she would be...

Armstrong and Kopel: Hickenlooper's shots at law-abiding gun owners don't help In the immediate aftermath of the criminal attack on the Planned Parenthood clinic in Colorado Springs, public officials should be helping the community come together to heal and supporting the survivors and the victims’ families. Instead, Gov. Hickenlooper has used the occasion for a mean-spirited verbal assault on innocent people. Hickenlooper told CNN: “In Colorado Springs — it’s one of the more conservative parts of the state — we probably have more people that have licenses for concealed weapons, probably more guns around. That didn’t help.” Hickenlooper’s gratuitous insults...

Among those demands, instead of calling for a university president to be fired, as happened recently at the University of Missouri, the NAACP student chapter is demanding that interim GSU President Jean Bartels be hired as Georgia Southern’s continuing...

Ken Buck supports Paul Ryan as U.S. House speaker With Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wisc., all but certain to become the next U.S. House speaker, Rep. Ken Buck, R-Colo., said he wants to see the party’s attention back on solving problems and working in Congress. Ryan’s announcement Thursday that he would seek the position came after he received the backing he asked for from three major factions of GOP lawmakers, including the hard-line Freedom Caucus that announced a large majority of its 40 members would support Ryan. The group was seen as the biggest potential roadblock to a Ryan speakership. “Of...

On September 13, 1999, the Moon was blasted out of Earth orbit. Space:1999 was one of my favourite shows as a kid. Of course, they brought in Freddie Freiberger for the second season, and he completely ruined it.
