Carnival of The Only Ones

I had no idea or intent to dominate today's postings with "Only Ones" tales--it just kind'a happened based on random tips. The thought struck: Why not have an Only Ones Carnival?

Just to clarify: The purpose of this feature has never been to bash cops. The only reason I do this is to amass a credible body of evidence to present when those who would deny our right to keep and bear arms use the argument that only the police are professional and trained enough to do so safely and responsibly (the concept owes its origins to Lee Paige, the DEA agent who shot his own foot while lecturing a classroom on gun safety and his superior qualifications). And it's also used to illustrate when those of official status, rank or privilege, both in law enforcement and in some other government position, get special breaks not available to we commoners, particularly when they're involved in gun-related incidents.

The Carnival of the Only Ones will be held this Sunday, meaning I need all submissions in by Saturday night. It's open to anyone who has a freedom-related blog. Rules are as follows:

The title must have the words "Only Ones", and somewhere in the body of the post, a link to the following url should appear:
http://www.google.com/search?q=%22only+ones%22+site:waronguns.blogspot.com&hl=en&lr=lang_en&safe=off&start=0&sa=N

That's basically it, except for one more caveat: I reserve the right to reject any and all submissions. I don't want to send anyone to a site that's going to place spyware on their computers or subject them to pornography, spam sites, etc.

So if you're interested in participating, post an "Only Ones" feature on your blog and then send me the link by Saturday night. Send all submissions to dcodrea AT hotmail DOT com and use "ONLY ONES CARNIVAL" as your email subject.

If this generates enough interest, I may make it a regular feature here at WarOnGuns.

We're the Only Ones Career-Minded Enough

David Kozicki is a hypocrite. I worked with Dave for 20 years at OPD. I can tell you he was not an advocate of gun control when he was working the streets. It seems that once he was promoted to higher rank and nested under the wing of Mayor Jerry "Moonbeam" Brown he has become an advocate of gun control. Want to bet that if Mayor JB gets elected to Attorney General, Dave K will be appointed chief of DOJ Investigators?

This stinks to high holy heaven!!!

Interesting comment to an earlier post--I have no reason to doubt its authenticity. It sure sounds about right...

We're the Only Ones with the Only Guns Enough

Metro cops selling guns to criminals...

Oh, that's what missing firearms and "Only Ones" signify...

We're the Only Ones [G]un Controlled Enough

The Durban Metro Police have been given about two months to tighten firearm and ammunition controls, act against criminal elements within the force and take other corrective action.

The directive has come from the Independent Complaints Directorate (ICD) which investigated the Durban Metro Police Service after reports raised concerns about missing firearms earlier in 2006.

Missing firearms and "Only Ones"...I wonder what that could possibly signify...?

We're the Only Ones Late to the Party Enough

A police sergeant investigating reports of a gunfight accidentally shot a New Brighton teen-ager in the leg when somebody reportedly bumped his arm at an Upper East Side party early yesterday morning...Police have not yet released the name of the sergeant who fired the shot...

You don't need to know his name. All you need to know is he's an "Only One."

This Day in History: October 25

On this day in 1774, the First Continental Congress sends a respectful petition to King George III to inform his majesty that if it had not been for the acts of oppression forced upon the colonies by the British Parliament, the American people would be standing behind British rule.
