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.
Pity it's not WA state. Dave Workman has written many times about the court decision finding that discomfort around firearms does not equate to "reasonable alarm." I don't suppose there's a chance they could use that precedent in TX, is there?
And if so, can/will the hoplophobes who called it in (and the Moms Demand Action group, who are encouraging this "tactic") be charged with filing false police reports?
One of those Demanding Mommies pissed down both legs at the thought that someone was carrying legally. They have people actually buying burn phones so they can call the police anonymously when they see someone carrying and falsely claiming that they are "waving" their gun around. Even though the carrier is doing no such thing. They need to be arrested and prosecuted for making false reports of a crime that didn't happen. There is no right to "Feel comfortable". They need to suck it up and get over it.
"... San Antonio police Chief William McManus explained that the gun holder can still be charged with disorderly conduct if anyone, at any point, feels threatened."
So, if I call San Antonio Police Department and complain that unarmed, bearded men sipping iced coffee at Starbuck's make me feel threatened, the men will be arrested for disorderly conduct? It would appear that SAPD would do better by giving out the phone number of a psychological crisis hotline to the caller instead.
