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.

"In response, yes, Oregon Statues allow concealed, licensed firearms BUT if you were an actual student of Western Oregon University you would already be aware of the fact that it is against campus policy to carry ANY form of firearm on campus."
April, I believe you've "hit the nail on the head". After a careful read of the original story as well as all comments it appears that most commentors are debating an "apples and oranges" situation..
Your state law allows concealed weapon carry. The Western Oregon University's policy doesn't. A university POLICY cannot override state LAW - Therefore no CRIMINAL CHARGES should have been filed against Mr. Maxwell. I would think that the most the university could do would be to take some form of ADMINISTRATIVE action if they wish to continue violating Mr. Maxwell's Constitutional rights.
If in fact, the university encouraged the improper arrest of Mr. Maxwell, I would suggest someone issue an abject apology and hope that Mr. Maxwell would write off the unfortunate incident to ignorance and continue spending his hard-earned tuition money at their school.
Good little socialists, mandating re-education until he bows to mindless authority.
Media types scream for more gun laws. Then we educate them on how some of the laws they say we need, we ALREADY have. They should be embarrassed, but that requires knowing what shame is for.
