If at First You Don’t Succeed

Secret Service agents arrested a man who repeatedly tried to enter the perimeter of the United Center with a handgun on Saturday night, according to Chicago police. The facility is hosting the Democratic National Convention starting Monday night. [More]

He should have tried the roof.

A Mugged Liberal

Democratic delegate ‘robbed at gunpoint by men in ski masks during Chicago convention’ [More]

But… but wait, I’m your friend… I believe in Black Lives Matter and Defund the Police and everything…

The victim confirmed that he was walking with a friend when they were targeted around 2 a.m. in the 100 block of West Randolph. [More]

That should get a Darwin Award Honorable Mention for Best Attempt.

We’re the Only Ones Housebound Enough

Cops Are Reportedly Calling in Sick: Will DNC Violence Be Worse Than 1968? [More]

I hope so– I’ve got all this popcorn, and so far, the commies and Islamists have been a real disappointment.

C’mon, leftists– step up your game!

Maybe reissuing shirts will stir things up…

Let’s see Kamala and Tim try to straddle this one.

Watch a pre-game show.

The Forbidden Zone

The current “free speech zone” for the convention is in Pere Lafayette Park, a mere quarter of a mile from the convention venue. By comparison, the Democrats in Chicago have set up a free speech zone about three miles from the United Center where the convention will be held. [More]

So, who picked a Bloomberg city?

And once off the property of the venue, where are such “zones” authorized and why is “the party of small government” demanding them?

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.
