This is a placeholder for now because I have not had ads on this blog for years. In case I ever start up again, this will be the policy in effect:
The FTC has some fool nonsense rules about ads on blogs or some such and presumes authority over the First Amendment to compel the unfunded mandate that we who earn ad revenues make some kind of disclosure so you don't think we're getting paid to say nice things about people or God knows what, meaning they must think you're stupid, too. I have had a few ads on this site in the past and may do so again if I think it's worth a try. Combined, I probably couldn't buy a box of good cigars each year, let alone a bottle of George T. Stagg, and that is somehow supposed to compromise my morality to force me to say nice things about products and services I don't mean simply in exchange for filthy lucre. If you believe that, leave now--you're not smart enough to be here. Bottom line, aside from welcoming a sponsor, I will do no posts related to their products or services, or reviews of what they offer.
About "The Only Ones"
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 government enforcers are professional and trained enough to do so safely and responsibly. 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 (but not exclusively) when they're involved in gun-related incidents.
Comment House Rules
Keep them on topic. No spam. No threats against anyone except me. Do not feed trolls--I'll take out the trash. Try to keep it clean. I'm the final arbiter. If you don't like the rules, start your own damn blog.
Link Policy
WarOnGuns reciprocates links with liberty-oriented sites promoting the right to keep and bear arms for all peaceable individuals. If you have linked to me and don't see your site below, it's probably just because I haven't noticed it yet. Shoot me an email via the "Contact Form" (see above in this sidebar) if you want to fix that.
As a general rule I remove links for blogs that have been inactive for over one year.
Years ago I was in that store often. CCW was not on the horizon in Ne. then, but if I had been carrying I would have violated their property rights or not gone in. The thing I would not do is allow their property rights to violate my right to life.
Remember, abuse of rights is when the exercise of yours causes harm to the others. Carrying in a venue such as that with no other action causes them no harm, being killed in their store because of the manner in which they exercise their rights does cause harm and therefore is an abuse of the right and should not be tolerated.
The Von Maur mall shootings is a case in point. Why are they not being held accountable for the harm they abetted? They definitely abused their customers by abusing their rights to the extent that the rights of others and well as their lives were forfeit.
You can falsely yell fire in a crowded theater, but if there is a fire then it is your duty to do so. The first is an abuse of free speech, just as gun free zones are an abuse of the right of people to defend their lives.
I do not understand something here. I see a drawing of a hand gun in the window with a red circle with a red line going through it. There are no words for me to read to understand that they are trying to tell me. It must not be important becaue who looks at the wondow on the exit door side going into the store.
Convenience stores are not called "shoot & scoots" for nothing. But most of the big chains, such as 7-11 are willing to sacrifice their employees and their customers.

Those signs don't mean we should shoot the international symbol for "Prohibited"?
That sign looks likes an updated and lethal version of the "kick me" sign stuck to someone's backside.

you CANNOT falsely yell fire... it should have read.
