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.
Thanks, David, for the link to the Dallas FAQs. The parts about where one may and may not carry would apply statewide. I especially liked the anti-swatting section. The advice to parents whose children ask about carrying was good also. It was a pleasant surprise considering the makeup of elected officials in Dallas County and DPD Police Chief.
Longbow, sometimes it is necessary to "go along in order to get along". A wise man chooses his battles carefully. I have sampled the accommodations in county lockup and have no great desire for a return visit. Please note: I don't - AT ALL - like/appreciate/approve of having to get permission to openly bear arms. However, I am happy to finally be able to openly carry in my home state. BTW, no "begging" was involved in obtaining said permission. I DID have to get a very brief overview of Texas law regarding firearms (it SHOULD have had much, MUCH more about TPC Chapter 9 - Justification For Use of Force) and I had to prove I was at least minimally able to hit what I was aiming for. I found no part of the process to be at all onerous.

That's fine as long as you have your permission slip from the State. Don't forget to beg permission first!
