From the FAFO Files - The War on Guns

At approximately 3:15 p.m. in the Lake Village area of the park, a man was gored by a bison after he approached it too closely. [More]

Stupid ought to hurt.

Or as the author of Mauled shared, never try to feed bears by attracting them with a marshmallow in your mouth:

“Stupid ought to hurt.”

Darwin believed it needed to do more than hurt.

It’s the start of the season here in NW Wyoming. We call them “tourons”, a portmanteau of “tourist” and moron.

My wife and I were in Yellowstone a couple of years ago and watched 3 or 4 tourons literally CHASE a pair of grizzlies up a hillside off the road to try to get a better picture. I kept muttering to her, “Geez, I hope the bears turn around and slap those idiots upside the head couple of times. They might learn something if they lived through it. C’mon, bears.” No such luck.

I’ve been within 20 feet of a bull bison, but I was standing in the bed of the pickup, and the buffalo had walked right up to us after we had parked on the other side of an open field about 100 yards away. I took pictures of him walking towards us, and though you couldn’t see it at the time (their eyes are very dark) he was looking directly at us as he moved, and then just kept on ambling down the shoulder of the road away from us.

You’ve got to be mentally deficient to get close to a bull buff on foot. They can move a LOT faster than they look, and they can get mean. But it seems like every year somebody learns those lessons the hard way.

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.
