Republican activist and former Colorado candidate accused of flashing revolver at U.S. marshal
By: Conrad Swanson Jun 17, 2019 Updated 53 min ago



Kanda Calef, a former Republican candidate, political activist and a hard-line gun rights supporter, faces a felony menacing charge after allegedly brandishing a pistol at a U.S. marshal in Interstate 25’s Gap construction zone.

Calef, now free on $2,500 bail, is due in Douglas County’s 18th Judicial District on Wednesday, where she is expected to enter a plea to the charge.

Colorado troopers arrested Calef April 10 after the marshal, who was off duty at the time, reported that a woman in a van “had flashed a handgun at him,” says a probable cause affidavit filed in the 18th Judicial District.

Calef is a prominent advocate for limited government, conservative funding approaches and Second Amendment rights. She failed to win the Republican nomination last year for Colorado’s House District 14, and she lost a 2015 bid for the Colorado Springs City Council to incumbent Larry Bagley.

1. How is it she's still alive?

Oh yeah, she's a white female. A non white would've had been killed in a hail of bullets.

[Nay]

8. Exactly my question as well. If she were, ahem, another color, she would have been

shot down in a hail of bullets for even having a phone in her hand.

2. I can just see her pulling her gun out over bumping carts in Walmart

or over a parking space...(a) menace is the right word.

3. 2nd Amendment rights activist.....

and now poster child for more stringent gun laws. The irony....it burns.

4. In Colorado, is being of sound mind and character a prerequisite of owning a gun?

If so, it appears someone cheated on the tests......

KY......

PS: GOP = Psychopaths-R-Us.

5. I guarantee you this isn't the first and only time she's done this.

[cojoel]

6. Here is the best part

"If convicted of the felony charge, Calef would not be allowed to own firearms."

[safeinOhio]

7. I'd bet any plea bargain is for

a misdemeanor conviction.

9. Conspiracy whacks getting the winger psychos all stirred up..

And pointing guns at the law is a big fail...

Maybe we can look at it like nature culling the herd...
