How Not to Do It - The War on Guns

Utah man shot several times by police during traffic stop after officers allegedly see gun: Video [More]

Video breakdown here.

There will be plenty of time to make your case later, providing there is a later. Making a losing argument at the scene against overwhelming odds will never have a happy ending.

I’ve seen all the fringe flag/ admiralty court/ sovereign citizen/ corporate ALL CAPS arguments before and have not only never seen them prevail, but have never seen a clearly defined strategy for getting enough people to buy into them to where they have a chance of prevailing.

I had one of those types trolling me years ago, airing his self-presumed superiority over me because he claimed he knew how to exercise RKBA regardless of the laws. Thing is, he would never share how and especially would never demonstrate.

Believe otherwise and argue if you like. I’m not the guy who’s going to shoot you. Argue it with enforcers and do like Chase here, and it kind of all becomes a moot point outside of another Darwin Award that the world will soon forget.

Or change my mind. Walk through “sensitive zone” Times Square with an unregistered machine gun and prove to us all how your “legal” arguments win the day. A nation of gun owners will be grateful and your name will belong to the ages!

As someone else put it, confused cops arrest; scared cops shoot.

Swallow your pride and do your level best to not present a threat. If they don’t know the law, the site of the stop isn’t the time or place to educate them. And it’s certainly not the time to be fondling, reaching for, or gesturing toward your gun.

That’ll scare them, and scared cops shoot.

So be as non-threatening as possible. Maybe a sergeant will show up who knows better, or maybe they’ll all just be confused enough to arrest. You’ll have a chance to clear it up later, when you don’t have guns pointed your direction.

Wow. And I thought Taqueria Baldy shot too much.

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.

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.
