We're the Only Ones Able to Defend Ourselves

A city cop coming off his shift in the Bronx early yesterday shot and wounded a man who tried to carjack him at gunpoint, police said.

Had this happened to a "law-abiding citizen," of course, they would have been toast. That's because they're not one of "The Only Ones."

We're the Only Ones Loving Enough--For a Price

A New Zealand policewoman has been censured for some unauthorized "undercover" work - a stint moonlighting as a prostitute - but is being allowed to keep her day job after giving up the night duties.

Thank goodness. That could have been a real blow to her career.

"Cop Killer"

Three men have been charged with illegally possessing two handguns, one of which is called a cop killer because it can break through most bulletproof vests and plates worn by police officers...

Oh, OK, that's why they call it that.

It's not like it's actually gone out and killed cops or anything.

I didn't realize I owned cop killer rifles, because they'll all do that, too. Go through vests and plates, that is.

Later on today, I think I'll take my cop crushing van down to the store. I need to buy some cop poisoning household cleaning products.

Sterile Queen Bee Follow-Up

Again, for the record, I own lots of guns; I've hunted all my life (which is a long time); and I believe the Second Amendment is one of our basic freedoms we enjoy here in America, but I don't fret about the federal government breaking down my door to confiscate my battle worn 870 or my late grandfather's octagon-barrel 30-30, nor do I think all gun control laws, such as the ban on automatic assault rifles, are bad. Given that, here are a few thoughts on the NRA.

We've talked about this creature and his idiotic opinions before.

He either doesn't want to get it, or else he knows perfectly well what he's doing. I opt for the latter.

The point, Bill, is not to defend NRA. The point is, AHSA is an organization headed up by known gungrabbers. And for you to cite "automatic assault weapons" and "Gun Guys" to make your points puts you solidly in that camp as well.

US Guns Killing Jamaicans Follow-Up

"Doug in Colorado" posted a comment that I thought was very well written and deserved wider exposure as a "standalone" essay.

No Guns, No Money Follow-Up

IMPORTANT: READ INSTRUCTIONS BELOW BEFORE CLICKING ON TITLE LINK

I posted yesterday about Kansas businesses being advised to post "No Guns" signs, and presented a "business card" to notify such establishments that gun owners would take their dollars elsewhere.

Jay.Mac informs me of Rapid Share, a hosting service website, and following the title link should get you to the Word file card template I created, albeit for non-paying users, they make you go through a few advertising steps before letting you see the file.

Steps after clicking on title link:
1. Scroll down to bottom of page and click "Free" button.
2. Wait for "download ticket" countdown, which on completion, will present a "Captcha" form.
3. Enter the characters in the little box and click on "Download from Mirror Alpha." (The characters are sometimes tough to distinguish, so if you get it wrong, back out and try again.)
4. A dialog box should pop up. Choose "Open With" (Microsoft Word or whatever you choose) or "Save to Disk."

Others have kindly offered to host the file on their sites. Thank you for that, especially since Rapid Share deletes non-paying files after 30 days. Please feel free to do so--and to modify the cards as you see fit. As I noted, the original idea is not mine, but the goal should be to promote the concept.

If you have a website, let me know if you post your own card and I'll pass your link on to WoG visitors.
