We’re the Only Ones Unwarranted Enough

Officers from the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) routinely trespass onto private land—without consent, a warrant, or any reason to suspect a hunting violation has occurred—to conduct exploratory searches. They ignore fences, gates, and “no trespassing” signs, treating private land like public property. And all of this is purportedly authorized by an Alabama statute. [More]

Staged Video Gets It Right About Many Cops and Ignorance on Open Carry

Bottom line, armed citizens are out there. A lot of them. Law enforcement needs to understand this and be prepared to handle encounters respectfully and professionally. [More]

It’s bad enough when we’re behaving legally and they’re not. Add in jokes and threats about killing us, and that’s intolerable.

We’re the Only Ones Jerky Enough

An Oklahoma City police officer pulled over Canadian County (OK) Sheriff Chris West for speeding (outside of Canadian County).

We’re the Only Ones Propertied Enough

Rollins noted that the “fence that was put up in 1910 by Charles’s great-great grandad that no one ever thought there was a problem”… “That’s [all?] they hear of it until agents in SWAT gear show up at their front door and say that they are being criminally charged for theft of government property that they need to find guardians for their young children because they are likely going to jail”… [More]

Anybody see any “Forts, Magazines, Arsenals, dock-Yards, and other needful Buildings” in all this…?

We’re the Only Ones Homicidal Enough

Three years ago, Detective Daniel Leyden shot and killed his girlfriend, Deputy Abigail Bieber, before turning the gun and killing himself. It was the third murder-suicide involving Hillsborough County deputies within five years. [More]

And the LEO/”civilian” divide isn’t just localized.

Just think of all the situations and places where they can have a gun and you can’t. Then ask yourself what the state is unleashing on the rest of us.

We’re the Only Ones Armed Robbing Enough

In exchange for his repayment of the $3,500 that was stolen, the felony theft charges have been dismissed. [More]
