I have received a couple e-mails from a former member who is accusing the staff and Senior/Founding Members of bashing/encouraging people to bash Bill Hunt. The fact of the matter is that we are giving a fair voice to every member of our site. I am sure when other candidates announce their candidacy they will face the same tough questions Mr. Hunt has. Our goal is to remain impartial.
As has been stated many time since this site first went live, we are not a political forum. We support fair issuance to all citizens who are eligible for a CCW.
Following is my exchange with this former member. If anyone is interested in what he has to say I will pass on his contact information (pending his permission).

Chris......people are censored on your forum all the time. The high crime is being a Bill Hunt supporter or offending a LEO or moderator. If these people think he is such a "loser" then why does he keep garnering support, not only from the rank and file at the OCSD, but also in the community and people outside the state? Why dont these name callers be man enough and show up at a rally and ask Hunt the hard questions? The obvious answer is it's easier to level accusations from a distance than to actually have proof of any wrong doing and say it in person.
Here is an idea, why dont you tell me when your next rally/shoot is. I can come and meet calccw people and see what concerns them. Oh wait, I already did that about 2 years ago. Block invited me to one over at Evans. When I showed up not a single person had anything to say to me. All they did was huddle in a corner on the range over at Evans and talked amoung themselves. When one of them did come up to me the only introduction I received was "Hey, whats up, I'm AMC Mike". Not even a real name. I would of thought it funny if these guys didnt think they were junior GI men. It truely was a sight to see.

Ron,
I saw the thread in question and all I see there is typical bashing that goes on in any election. The question glbtrottr (who BTW is NOT Greg Block) was more of a "wondering out loud" type of question. I think most people have done things in their past that they would rather not be known. I don't think he insinuated that Bill Hunt for a fact had skeletons in his closet or had done anything illegal. It was merely a question. If other individuals decide to throw their hat into the ring for this election I am sure they will face the same sort of (as you put it) bashing. I will certainly not allow their opinions to be censored as I won't allow those that are not behind Hunt to be censored. It's part of politics.
Chris

Hey Chris......I see the Bill Hunt bashing over at Calccw is picking up speed. It seems that there is a select group there that has a problem with Bill taking on his corrupt boss. Specifically glbtrottr, or this this Greg Block, running his mouth again? Who ever it is, here is a quote glbtrottr used:
"Now - I have another question for you. Do you think Mr. Hunt has skeletons in his closet? Do you think he ever participated in cronyism? Do you think he ever did things considered to be illegal? Do you think he swept things under the rug? I do...and I think this is only round one of a very long fight for Mr. Hunt."
Chris........What is the problem with these folks on your forum? What are the "skeletons" in this mans closet? These so called "skeletons" seem to be eluded to alot on this forum but yet no one seems to be able to articulate any, if at all. For being a "non-political site" it sure has taken on the role of bashing the one pro-ccw candidate in the race. Regardless I will go ahead and forward the thread to Bill Hunt and his staff to try and clarify what "illegal" behavior Bill was involved in. I will also seek clarification on his involvement in "cronyism" and him "sweeping things under the rug" during his employment at the OCSD.
If you or glbtrottr wish to clarify the statements given, and provide any supporting evidence for such comments, I will be more than happy to await your response before forwarding the thread to Bill Hunt and his staff. I will await your response.
