Most of all, any and all Americans concerned with freedom.

I am Mary Jordan - mother of Jeff L. Jordan. I hope to answer several questions raised by the reports I've read.

No I don't condone his speeding and he's been told that, but then we all speed up there sometimes.

Jeff has been living on his own since he graduated from high school. He makes two trips a year back to Kansas, as we are a close family. Besides his parents he has 2 brothers and a sister, their spouses and families, various grandparents and aunts and uncles. We get together for the Christmas holidays and usually the 4th of July when possible. As we live in rural Kansas, we own and enjoy hunting guns and our 4 children were raised with them and taught the safe use of guns, thus Jeff's pleasure in his guns. He's single and has worked for the same company for 22 years. He spends his money on his hobby (guns) and his nieces and nephew and family. He always brought some of his guns and ammunition on his visits, and sometimes ammunition he reloaded for his dad, brother or sister and spouse. That's the reason for the lock box in his vehicle. If the weather is nice, we often enjoy an afternoon shooting at targets on our place. Jeff has permits for all his guns and is licensed in several different states to carry. He unusually has all of them under lock and key. (Read the rest here)
