One of Colorado’s leading gun activists is free on bail after being charged for flashing a gun at a federal agent, the Colorado Springs Gazette reported Monday.

“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,” the newspaper reported. “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.”

“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,” the newspaper noted.

.........................

In an interesting twist, Calef sits on the 4th Judicial District Commission which evaluates the performance of judges............................

1. Al I have to say is

LOCK HER UP!

2. Well, she seems nice

Unfortunately for Ms. Calef, she is accused of committing her crime in the 18th Judicial District, not the 4th, so it's unlikely the judge presiding over her case will have anything to fear from finding her guilty of a felony.

But, since she's a white woman, the charges will probably get busted down to a misdemeanor, no jail time, and minimal supervision.

She would have been gunned down upon arrest.

6. 90 in a construction zone?

You lose your licence for that alone where I live.

14. i believe they've maintained the original 75 mph speed limit in much of the construction zone.

i'm not saying it's ok to go that fast in a construction zone.

i "think" the volume of traffic that has to pass through that project is so high, that they needed to keep the speed up and mitigate risk for the workers with jersey barriers. however, they do enforce the speed limit in the gap project.

18. Actually no.....

I drive from Colorado Springs to Littleton every night. Posted speed limit from Monument to Castlerock is now 65 throughout the construction zone. Lane closures start around 8pm and they try to finish up by 5am for the morning rush but rarely do they make that deadline. I hit the closures above Monument just as they start setting up so i'm not being held up but a minute or two. An hour later....forget it.

Biggest problem with the lane closures is that everybody just HAS to slow down to a crawl past the trucks with the big flashing move left or move right arrows. If they lowered the speed limit to 65 in the work zones drivers should not have to slow to a crawl as soon as they see a CDOT truck. Then of course you get the drivers that drive as fast as they can in the lane just before the lane closure merge so they can get up front and then cause panic braking as they try to move over slowing traffic further.

Looking at what they're doing right now they could easily get away with shifting lanes rather than complete shutdowns. Yea it's a mess!

7. Hmmm. A felony committed with a fire arm. Looks like she'll have all of her guns grabbed and taken

Away from her.

Thoughts and prayers for her as she becomes gunless.
