We're the Only Ones Rectum? Damn Near Killed 'im Enough

"When I was face down ... my legs were held and I felt a sharp jabbing pain into my rectum," Johnson testified.  [More]

And remember--if you lift a finger.

You just lift your legs.

Funny thing about health Nazi "Furious Mike": He wants to ban smoking, trans fat, salt, guns...

Funny how power junkies stay addicted to something that's so demonstrably bad for everybody else's health...

We're the Only Ones Recovering Merchandise Enough

Adrian SWAT team members, Dundee police and an agent from the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives surrounded the house and used flash bombs to enter. [More]

Huh. That's funny. They didn't bring out the big guns for this shoplifter, or this one, and they knew they were armed and trained to be dangerous.

I wonder why...

Keeping and bearing arms applies to knives as well as guns

Yeah, right. Privileged, multi-generational career parasite Cyrus Vance and some politically-ambitious cop administrators don’t trust you to have the judgment to carry a knife without their say-so, and their answer is “No.” [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner column celebrates sharp-dressed men and women.

Take a stab at sending the link to your friends?

This Day in History: December 7

Sir: As the Convention Troops will have passed above you by the time this reaches you, the object of your Station at the Clove will have been effected. You will therefore be pleased to move down to Paramus with the Carolina Brigade and quarter your Men in as compact a manner as the situation of the Buildings will permit. You shall, upon my arrival at Middle Brook receive more particular instructions. I would recommend it to you, as soon as you have taken post, to make yourself acquainted with the Roads leading to the North River and have pickets established upon them at proper distances from you. You are in no danger from any other quarter. Should the Enemy move up the River in any considerable force, you are immediately to fall back to your former position at Sufferan's and send your Baggage to Pompton. Colo. Morgan furnished Mr. Erskine at Ringwood Iron Works with a guard of a serjeant and be pleased to send the like number to releive them. They are to remain there during the Winter, as Mr. Erskine will be compleating some valuable surveys for the public. [More]

Also on this day in 1941, my father turned 21. What a birthday present he received. He spent the next several years in the Pacific with the Marines, including on Guam.

Do Surry County deputies have conflict of interest in gun brandishing case?

Add to this information I obtained after posting today’s earlier report alleging the deputy responding to the Jamestown-Scotland Ferry incident also works part time at the ferry as a security guard employed by Securigard, the private contractor retained by VDOT, that he is one of two deputies employed there, and that both responded to the call...If this information is substantiated, the appearance of a professional conflict of interest becomes a fair matter for investigation and consideration in determining both sides’ accounts of what happened and whether reasonable doubt about incentives will become a factor in the outcome.[More]

In light of this development, a second Gun Rights Examiner column today is warranted.

I trust there is no conflict of interest in sharing this link?

Wenn Sie Etwas Sehen, Etwas Sagen!

Verstehen?

I say let's do. Let's give them what they want.


If you can't pull back, go forward.

UPDATE: Alvie's take.

We're the Only Ones Exhausted Enough

Come to think of it, I could use some relief myself.

I know--I think I'll go torch a body--maybe one that my buddy shot--right after we beat the hell out  the dead guy's companions.  That always seems to help.

Plus having my lawyer assure everyone that it's not a crime, merely PTSD (Post-Torching Statist Disorder),  doesn't hurt.


You have no idea what a relief it is to get rid of all this stress!  Why a fella could get to where he actually kind of enjoys this!

We're the Only Ones Penetrating Enough

Scott Allen Cole, 41, of Hesperia was charged with sexual penetration with a foreign object of a victim under the age of 18...[More]

Something about the way this story is related just makes it seem unreal--but then I remember that there's not an entry in the "Only Ones" Files that isn't unbelievable in its own way.

[Via Curtis]

We're the Only Ones Solicitous Enough

Michigan State Police are investigating whether a member of the city’s Public Safety Commission solicited a prostitute.

A firearm belonging to Commissioner Jerry King was discovered in the possession of a woman who approached a plainclothes officer. [More]

Sounds like a real blow to public service...

[Via Harvey]

We're the Only Ones Old-Fashioned Enough

“All of that could have been avoided,” said Jones, who was not home at the time. “Whatever happened to good old-fashioned investigating?” [More]

It's not as effective at fostering terror as good old-fashioned storm-trooping.

It Can't Happen Here?

Why?  If the price was right? Not to mention for the sense of power? [Read]

I Think I May Have Found the Problem

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police reports the only crossbows prohibited in Canada are those that can be fired with one hand and are 19 inches (50 centimeters) or less in length. A license or registration certificate is not required to own crossbows longer than 19 inches that require two hands to use. Such crossbows are sold in hunting shops across Canada. [More]

See? Easy access and lax laws are to blame!

And why stop at crossbows?

Several of you sent me this link about "knife rights." [Read]

Barring anything bigger pushing it to a back burner, I plan on talking about this in tomorrow's Gun Rights Examiner column.
