Carl Pittman Plans Civilian Firearm Training Program For Women With Concealed Handgun Licenses And For Those Women Who Simply Want To Be Ready To Defend Themselves In Their Homes.
In a continuing move towards public safety, Republic Candidate for Harris County Sheriff Carl Pittman has pledged when elected to create a new program dedicated towards training women to be better prepared to protect themselves. Carl Pittman is a strong constitutionalist and a supporter of the 2nd Amendment and believes that every law abiding Texan should be armed and trained to use their weapon.
A.W.A.R.E. (Armed Women Ready to Engage) will be specifically geared towards providing a weapons training program for women who hold a Concealed Handgun License (CHL) and for those women who simply want to be ready to defend themselves in their homes. The program will be taught by certified sheriff’s range deputies. The sheriff’s training facility in the Atascocita area will be the training site, this facility while primarily used for law enforcement belongs to the taxpayers and Carl believes that. The course will include weapon safety, cleaning and marksmanship training. Those successfully completing the course will be certified by the Sheriff!
Area gun dealers will be invited to sponsor this program and have their products available for the students to test and purchase. Carl Pittman believes that an armed and trained community is a safer community.
Candidate for Harris County Sheriff Carl Pittman Responds To The Unconstitutional Mandates Of NDAA
The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2012 was signed into United States law on December 31, 2011, by President Barack Obama. The most controversial provisions to receive wide attention are contained in Title X, Subtitle D, entitled "Counter-Terrorism." In particular, sub- sections 1021 and 1022, which deal with detention of persons the government suspects of involvement in terrorism, have generated controversy as to their legal meaning and their potential implications for abuse of Presidential authority. The bill passed the House by a vote 283 to 136. A federal court issued an order blocking the indefinite detention powers of the NDAA for American citizens on the grounds of unconstitutionality.
I am not going to attempt to cite the entire act; however the point is the federal government through these types of actions is clearly demonstrating a mindset of passing legislation that is in violation of the U.S. Constitution. The founding fathers clearly framed the Constitution to protect against these types of over reaches by the government.
As the elected Sheriff of Harris County I would remain watchful for these types of constitutional violations and will never enforce any unconstitutional mandate on the citizens of this county.
The sheriff of the county is the highest "elected" law enforcement officer in the county and only answers to those who elect him. I will not stand by and allow an over reaching federal government to simply impose its will upon the citizens of this county. As the Sheriff I have the authority to raise a posse to assist me in protecting the county and I will do just that. It is one of the goals for my first year in office is to raise a 2000 member posse of Harris County citizens. There will be a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) and training for that group.
The provisions contained within the National Defense Authorization Act of 2012 are startling. I could never imagine an American citizen being held indefinitely because the federal government suspects them of being what, "anti-obama"? What happened to due process? In 1981 as a United States Marine I took an oath to protect and defend the constitution against all enemies foriegn and domestic. The oath I took had no expiration date. I will continue to uphold that oath as I always have. We cannot allow the assaults currently on this great republic of ours to continue.
We must also look at other federal agencies such as the TSA. I will not allow any unconstitutional actions on the part of any federal agency inside the boundaries of Harris County to go unchecked. I will as the elected Sheriff expel any federal authority from the county who violates the constitution and will arrest them if necessary. Most Sheriffs don't even know the bounds of their authority - well I do. A TSA agent who takes a frisk too far would be subject to arrest as long as there is a viable complainant as is required in most other State of Texas criminal offenses. I am offended as a father to a twelve year old girl to the behavior of the TSA under the guise of safety, The founding fathers never intended for Americans to be subjected to this. Federal officers are not exempt from the obeying the law. If we continue to give up our liberties in the name of safety, we will soon have neither liberty or safety.
Carl Pittman Responds To His Opponent's Lies
Fellow Conservatives,
It is disheartening that the level of horrific lies, half-truths and deceit emanating from my opponent’s campaign and his supporters has risen to such a level that I now no longer can ignore them for the dishonesty they are. These untruthful, negative attacks not only have been spread freely about me, but have personally attacked my family. The unfounded and untrue negative attacks the Louis Guthrie campaign has engaged in are an all-time low for Harris County Republicans. READ FULL RESPONSE ON OUR NEWS PAGE >>

Join Us For The "Carl Pittman for Harris County Sheriff - Election Night Watch Party"
Come and join Carl and Kristi Pittman and watched the results of the Harris County Republican Party primary results come in.
Sandtrap Grill 7900 North Sam Houston Parkway West, Houston, TX - Tuesday, May 29, 2012 starting at 6:30pm
Carl Pittman Endorsed By The Houston Chronicle
In Carl Pittman, Republican Party primary voters have a candidate with the insight that comes from years of experience in law enforcement. Pittman's resume includes stints on the National City Police Department in San Diego County, Calif., where he worked on a federal gangs task force, and more than 10 years as a deputy in the Harris County Sheriff's Office.
During a meeting with the Houston Chronicle editorial board, Pittman reiterated a commitment to public safety while keeping an eye on the bottom line, advocating zero-based budgeting should he get the job.
He would apply zero-based budgeting to the jails as well, and his experience within the Harris County Detention Bureau has given him key insights into some of the most expensive, and often controversial, duties of the sheriff's office.
"All three [county] jails are basically run as maximum-security jails," Pittman told the Chronicle. "It doesn't make sense to me, because it costs more."
This openness to reform would continue a trend that has benefited the county and state as a whole.
With his collection of law enforcement credentials and his belief that he can pull Democratic votes in the general election, Pittman deserves to be the Republican candidate in the fall.
We encourage primary voters to give him their support.
