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.
So you never put your finger on the trigger of a weapon unless you're about to fire it? If that's your claim I call B.S. There is nothing wrong w/ putting your finger on the trigger, or even dropping the hammer as long as you clear every weapon you pick up every time you pick it up.
You guys never had a buddy bring his new pistol over and tell you to check out the sweet trigger? So you clear it, point at the ground, and drop the hammer? Never?
I don't put my finger on the trigger unless I am ready to fire and that includes dry firing. What you're describing is not what he's doing and he's creating a bad example of gun handling that the ignorant who watch his video may emulate. I can think of an exception for cowboy twirling because they use single actions.
Anon, I tend to agree. If you clear a weapon every time you pick it up or it changes hands, there cannot be any problem, but those around you may not know that you've done so. The 4 rules are also a courtesy to others.

Love the collection he's got, HATE the booger hook on the bang switch while handling, ceptin' of course while he's actually shooting.
One thing's for sure - no one will notice except actual shooters.
The anti's think that this execrable gun handling is OK. Since they base everything on movieland reality, it does little harm.
Too bad he sets such a bad example for real safety-oriented gun owners.
BTW - good wording for the song, David.
Except now I can't get it out of my mind..."I like guns, I like the way they look - I just need to learn about my booger hook..."
Since I listened to the song, I can't get it outta my mind.
Perhaps your lyrics, coupled with the video, can be used as a training tool.
