Because they’re fanatics.

We’re the Only Ones Incredulous Enough

“He engaged the gunman from quite a distance with a handgun,” Ison said, adding that Dicken is “very proficient” and “tactically sound,” despite having no known police or military training. [More]

I, too, marvel that a mere “civilian” performs at the level of those who can fire 50 rounds and get a “B-“!

No Thanks to Them

Good Guy With Gun Takes out Shooter in Indiana Mall Shooting [More]

Says mall management:

A Simon Property, eh? Don’t look for any Code of Conduct changes.

UPDATE: Unsurprisingly, Shannon Watts is so furious that an armed citizen saved lives that she resorts to doing what she does best: Lying.

If He Needs More Than Three Shots to Kill a Deer…

Florida sheriff says man will ‘absolutely not’ face charges for defending home with ‘AK-47-style’ gun [More]

Multiple home invaders…?

So they are suitable for home defense and those who say they aren’t– and those who happily give them megaphones to amplify their claims — are chronic and habitual LIARS?

Aspiring Breathers is Fine, Too

Father shoots 2 teen suspects trying to rob SUV while wife, babies inside in NW Harris County, HCSO says [More]

Civil suit in 3…2…1…

I’m just wondering when “teen” is going to be deemed offensive and what it will be replaced by.

Unclear on the Concept

Employee shoots, kills suspect who was robbing SW Houston gun store – Houston police said the suspect entered Carter’s Country with a ‘bladed object’ and went straight to the cash register and started taking money. [More]

Now it goes to a grand jury? They can’t just give the guy a plaque?

Lies of Omission

The Near Mass Shooting Most of the Media Won’t Tell You About [More]

A successful DGU doesn’t advance the narrative, does it?

Everybody realizes there are thwarted blood dancers disappointed by this…?

Give ’em What They Want?

Give ’em what they deserve. [Watch]

The second they threaten your life unless you do as they order, they have confirmed that what they want is you.

HOW THINGS WORK AROUND HERE

Satisfaction Guaranteed

Anyone not happy with anything on this site at any time will get 100% of all money they paid to me refunded, no questions asked. (No gratuities solicited or accepted.)

Comment House Rules

Keep them on topic. Trying to hijack threads really grinds my gears. No spam.
I moderate them so I’ll get to them when I can.
No threats against anyone except me. No fights–this is my place and if things get ugly, I treat unruly visitors the same way as I would in my home. 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.

WarOnGuns Correspondents

Story tips received via email and social media messages will be credited. Just let me know how you want to be recognized (real name, first name/last initial, or screen name.)

Link Policy

I maintained a WogRoll at the old Blogspot place predicated on reciprocity with like-minded RKBA-related sites. Truth be told, I never got much in terms of site visits to make the effort worth the time. I may try to do something again in the future, but for now, my hands are more than full trying to get a new site started.

Advertising Disclosure

This is a placeholder for now because I have not done ads on the old blog for years. In case I ever start them up here, 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 the old 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 without complete disclosure.

About “The Only Ones”

So named from a comment by DEA agent Lee Paige, who told a classroom full of kids he was “the only one” qualified to be armed and then promptly shot himself in the foot, 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.
