I wonder if an NRA sticker would do it? Is this not a real-world example to prove the answer is "Yes"? [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner column demonstrates the inherent dangers of truth in advertising when the message advocates "Every One" instead of just "Only Ones."
Also get a comprehensive recap and resolve to make an introduction.
Resolve to introduce the link to your friends?
It sounds like the cop says "You got the Georgia right to carry bumper sticker on your car? That's just askin' for trouble." Then it appears he says something to the effect of the driver might want to remove the sticker as a way to "exercise his right to remain silent."
ReplyDeleteI could be wrong.
He should be ticketed for his faulty microphone. Jerk.
FIVE police cars. Well, we know how to tie up an entire small town's law enforcement if the need should arise.
This is GOOD. What could have been an obscure speeding ticket has now outed latent fascism in this little wide place in the road we never would have heard of otherwise.
One of the pieces of advice I have heard is "never advertise you're a gun owner". On the one hand, I'd like to publically support the 2A, but the advice included "not only might you receive differential treatment from the authorities, but you don't want to advertise to criminals 'Follow me home to valuable fence-able items!'"
ReplyDeleteI haven't been harassed in my vehicle yet, but I wonder what kind of response my "Trijicon Night Sight" sticker on the back window of the truck will generate?
ReplyDeleteOn that note, I hate sticking "crap" on my vehicles because it starts to make you look like a lefty at first glance, but I think I'll be adding all those stickers I've been piling up for a while (GOA, OK, III, etc) and get some others to add too (I put the trijicon sticker on because it's very low profile, almost invisible on the tinted back window)
In some particularly anti self defense areas license tags from more gun friendly states may have the same effect. i.e.; it would be no surprise to find that NYPD or NJSP tax feeders look at TX,MT,AZ tags as pc to grab and search for 'illegal' weapons.
ReplyDeleteWhat does this say about the state of the Bill of Rights (and thus the Constitution) when…exercising the First Amendment in support of the Second Amendment requires the invocation of the Fifth Amendment which then CAUSES the Fourth Amendment to be infringed upon and violated. All for the crime of having a Georgia Carry.Org bumper sticker. And supposedly the MIAC report was rescinded...yeah right!
ReplyDeleteHere's one man's open-carry-on-foot adventure.
ReplyDeleteI respect your right to carry, just let me see that and unload it for you. And I need to know who you are. Because we have a problem with some people around the holidays who have "issues" [pointing to own head].
Pleasant and professional throughout, but still infringing. The partner crosses the busy street looking concerned, with his hand near his pistol, if not on it. Things could have turned very bad very fast. Thank God a car didn't backfire.
At least they didn't shoot him in the back. Sad that that's becoming my new closing sentence.

Now, had the vehicle been a van driven by a raghead muzzie and sporting a 'Death to America" sticker, or a spring-sagging car full of illegals with a LaRaza sticker, or a packed four-door full of gangbangers with subwoofers violating every noise ordinance in the state, Mistah Police Mon would not have stopped them and frisked them at all. Nossir. Just profile that uppity honky with the sticker proclaiming his rights!
ReplyDeleteEvery such action paints a larger target on the back of every other thug in uniform. You say he was polite?
So were certain Nazis when they politely said,
"Your papers, PLEASE!"
Our employees forget their station.
ReplyDeleteWe hired them to do a job for us.
Then they wiggled out of any responsibility to protect their communities; and transmorgafied themselves into 'prison guards' overseeing us.
So what purpose do they now serve, for the people?
The "enforcers" only serve themselves and a growing kleptocracy that steals from anyone unfortunate enough to come to their attention.
Time to replace the "enforcers" with new people, hired specifically to "protect and serve" the community.
These three women helped two cops they found mortally wounded. They have become pariahs in their neighborhood for it. I can understand, and I've never been Only One-ed in any way comparable to daily life in the gritty city.
ReplyDeleteWhen does a soldier of occupation become merely a dying fellow human being? Later and later, and to fewer and fewer as the oppression mounts. Something for the PTB to consider.

The War on Drugs and Guns and Privacy is dehumanizing both sides.
"Quaint and curious war is. You shoot a fellow down
You'd treat if met where any bar is,
Or help to half-a-crown."
