I'm still not done with you, not until you do jail time for being a "federal agent" and lying and defrauding the general public. So tell me this is how ICE federal agents roll? You still being paid by DHS? You should be sitting in a federal prison in my opinion. I'm doing all I can to get you there.

This is what happens when you screw with Special Forces and lie/defraud the general public.

So I was checking out the fraud's cached website and viewed this nugget:


As an experienced law enforcement officer, I was able to improve my marksmanship skills thanks to John's expertise. I saw a vast improvement in my performance which delivered the results I sought after. John possesses the knowledge to develop fundamentals skills necessary to attain great marksmanship. He offers comprehensive practical exercises, shooting techniques and explains in detail his tactical philosophies. John has an unwavering commitment to ensure you receive superior training


C. Lang, Federal Agent, Regional Training Officer.



C. Lang, Federal Agent, Regional Training Officer, you need to add: "And I could not spot a liar and a fraud from 1 meter away."


Gives me a warm and fuzzy knowing how well federal agents are trained. He or she is probably one of the federal agents shooting Cliven Bundy's cattle..........

Kuhl is still posing, but he just got owned..

Thank you Sheriff Heap..

Quote:
Sheriff Shayne Heap doesn’t play;

He told Heap he wanted to retire [from his firearms training business] and work for the sheriff’s office in the county jail, according to the 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Office.

Kuhl in reality had only served in the Army for 13 months as opposed to the 30 years he said he had been in the service, the office said.

Kuhl was arrested on a misdemeanor charge on Monday and posted $1,000 bail. He was also ordered to pay a $500 fine.

Yup,, It is in KIOWA, Co..

Quote:
KIOWA, Colo. - An Elizabeth man who lied about being once serving as a sniper with the U.S. Army Special Forces, pleaded guilty this week to a charge of fraud to effect sales, a misdemeanor.

John Frederick Kuhl, 51, ran a business called Colorado Firearms Training School based out of Elizabeth, according to the 18th District Attorney's Office.

Prosecutors say in 2010, Kuhl met Elbert County Sheriff Shayne Heap at a 4H meeting and told him that he had graduated from the U.S. Army Sniper School and served with Special Forces. He also mentioned that he was an active ICE/Immigration federal agent who would like to retire and work for the Elbert County Sheriff's Office's jail.

Kuhl solicited work from the ECSO and offered to teach courses to Elbert County communities, including firearms training for kids and self-defense courses.

Prosecutors said he repeatedly directed people to his website, which stated his military credentials and background.

In 2014, Sheriff Heap was contacted by the owner of a website called "Professional Soldiers" who provided records from the National Archives and Records Administration. The records showed that despite the defendant's claims of over 30 years of service, he had actually served 13 months in the U.S. Army's 82nd Airborne Division as a paratrooper from June 28, 1983 to July 12, 1984. He was discharged as a Private Second Class with minor formal training in firearms.

ECSO deputies conducted an investigation and filed charges against Kuhl after it was clear the defendant had falsified his military credentials in order to gain access to government contracts, according to prosecutors.

I like what the DA prosecuting the case said.

Quote:
"A man who would profit from falsely claiming to himself the honor of earning a Green Beret and having served with those elite warriors who make some of our country's greatest sacrifices deserves more than a conviction; he deserves scorn. He has earned disgrace. In a few breaths, repeated over three decades, Kuhl stole to himself credit reserved for those real patriots who earn it through blood, sweat, and tears. That he did so by exploiting the patriotism of his neighbors to put money in his own pockets is disgusting. It is ironic that the same Constitution defended by our heroes in uniform, also protects Kuhl from greater criminal liability for lying about being one of those heroes. There may be other places in the world that tolerate this outrageous lying, but this community is not one of them. I hope this misguided person uses the next thirty years to redeem himself by making amends for the lies he perpetrated for the past thirty."

This moron is still teaching firearms training, to kids.......

And this loser, liar and fraud still has the stones to state that he served in the mighty 82nd Airborne Div. What he doesn't say is that he only served 13 months and was booted out.

He no longer has a website but he's still teaching. I also don't see any NRA certifications, oh snap, did those get revoked too?

Quail Run Sports & John Kuhl, liar and fraud

So I guess there are millions out there that would take any sort of "training" from absolute amateurs, and liars and frauds.......

John Kuhl, you really are a bottom-feeding scumbag.



Shooting range expansion to benefit 4-H group
Quail Run Sports in Kiowa offers longer ranges

Posted Monday, February 15, 2016 11:47 am
Ben Wiebesiek

The Elbert County 4-H Shooting Sports Program competes in a variety of events that require different courses for their practice sessions.

But recently completed renovations at a Kiowa facility will allow the 4-H group to practice at one place.

The Colorado Firearms Training School announced Feb. 7 the completion of improvements to the school’s training facility at Quail Run Sports.

John Kuhl, owner of Colorado Firearms Training School, said he is happy to instruct the 4-H members, and he believes they will benefit from the renovations.

“Before we can actually start competing and trying to get the kids to shoot at competition level, we have to get their rifles zeroed, making sure that they’re exactly tuned-in to the 100-yards, which is where the kids need to be shooting at,” Kuhl said. “The improvements are going to greatly improve the shooting sports program because we’ve been having to travel from one place to do some classroom coaching and to do some minor sighting in, and then traveling to a different range to do the long-range stuff. So now we can do all at one location.”

Kuhl said the process of upgrading the facility took a year and a half.

“That’s including the planning and permitting process. The actual renovations took us about two or three months,” Kuhl said.

Elizabeth man pleads guilty in military fraud case; John Kuhl lied about Army past to gain business
John Kuhl claimed he was ex-Green Beret sniper
TheDenverChannel.com Team
5:17 PM, Nov 21, 2014

KIOWA, Colo. - An Elizabeth man who lied about being once serving as a sniper with the U.S. Army Special Forces, pleaded guilty this week to a charge of fraud to effect sales, a misdemeanor.

John Frederick Kuhl, 51, ran a business called Colorado Firearms Training School based out of Elizabeth, according to the 18th District Attorney's Office.

Prosecutors say in 2010, Kuhl met Elbert County Sheriff Shayne Heap at a 4H meeting and told him that he had graduated from the U.S. Army Sniper School and served with Special Forces. He also mentioned that he was an active ICE/Immigration federal agent who would like to retire and work for the Elbert County Sheriff's Office's jail.

Kuhl solicited work from the ECSO and offered to teach courses to Elbert County communities, including firearms training for kids and self-defense courses.

Prosecutors said he repeatedly directed people to his website, which stated his military credentials and background.

In 2014, Sheriff Heap was contacted by the owner of a website called "Professional Soldiers" who provided records from the National Archives and Records Administration. The records showed that despite the defendant's claims of over 30 years of service, he had actually served 13 months in the U.S. Army's 82nd Airborne Division as a paratrooper from June 28, 1983 to July 12, 1984. He was discharged as a Private Second Class with minor formal training in firearms.

ECSO deputies conducted an investigation and filed charges against Kuhl after it was clear the defendant had falsified his military credentials in order to gain access to government contracts, according to prosecutors.
Kuhl was arrested on July 17 and posted a $1,000 bond in cash the same day.

District Attorney George Brauchler stated:

"A man who would profit from falsely claiming to himself the honor of earning a Green Beret and having served with those elite warriors who make some of our country's greatest sacrifices deserves more than a conviction; he deserves scorn. He has earned disgrace. In a few breaths, repeated over three decades, Kuhl stole to himself credit reserved for those real patriots who earn it through blood, sweat, and tears. That he did so by exploiting the patriotism of his neighbors to put money in his own pockets is disgusting. It is ironic that the same Constitution defended by our heroes in uniform, also protects Kuhl from greater criminal liability for lying about being one of those heroes. There may be other places in the world that tolerate this outrageous lying, but this community is not one of them. I hope this misguided person uses the next thirty years to redeem himself by making amends for the lies he perpetrated for the past thirty."


Senior Deputy District Attorney Doug Bechtel stated:

"Every day, thousands of people serve this country in the armed forces. The honor, accolades and respect that are earned do not begin to recognize the sacrifice they make every day. To have someone try to take advantage of the respect we all have for the service members is unconscionable. I respect the 12-and-a-half months he served, but that respect is tainted by his egotistical lies of service. His actions lessen the honor of all those that have served and continue to serve. We have District Attorneys in the 18th Judicial District that are actively serving and many more that have previously served. I find it poetic that a group of soldiers discovered his web of deceit. Even after their service in the military, they continue to protect our community."

Both Brauchler and Bechtel both served in the U.S. Army.
Kuhl was fined all court fees and ordered to pay a $500 fine associated with the misdemeanor.
