Shell Game

Woman opens fire on Maryland gas station clerk during attempted robbery… “At approximately 7:43 p.m. April 17 police were called to the Shell gas station in the 7200 block of Cradlerock Way in Columbia for a report of a shooting,” police said in a statement. [More]

Maryland, eh?

Shell, eh?

“Unrelated charges in another state”…? My, aren’t we entitled.

I’m entering this on Tuesday evening. I predict they’ll have identified this stupid, angry, waddling Democrat welfare parasite by the time I’m ready to post it.

Ha! Shantay O’Donnell.

Any relation to Rosie…?

Laughing All the Way from the Bank

The FBI describes the suspect as wearing light-colored pants and a black sweatshirt with a white and black hat and glasses. [More]

Nothing else, description-wise?

I know that credit union. Feral sons Uday and Qusay have had accounts there.

And I have a source who was there, passed the perp in the doorway, and reports that the cops did not show up so s/he “finally asked if I could leave.”

When minutes count…

Hudson is one of those “liberal” white supermajority Republican towns that prides itself on its welcoming tolerance and abolitionist history (John Brown’s tannery farm is right around the corner from me, much of his family is buried here. and one of our streets is named after his father, Owen). Crime, especially the violent kind, is a rare anomaly. We did have a homicide a couple years back, but it too was committed by an out-of-towner the authorities and media feared to fully describe.

Family Jewels

The four robbers threatened staff with bear spray and a stun gun at Menashe Sons & Jewelers [More]

You can be like them, or like Jared or Kays…

Or Lance.

Paved with Good Intentions

Good Samaritan grocery shopper, dad killed while trying to stop teen robbery suspects [More]

First rule of Gun Club: You don’t try unless you can.

Second rule: Don’t subject yourself to added risk by shopping at gun-averse establishments, especially ones that that create dangerous attractive nuisances.

Asked and Answered

“They say he was the pizza delivery guy, but we don’t have a receipt that he was buying a pizza,” Ameer said. “If you were the pizza delivery guy, why did you have a, why were you armed?” [More]

Typically, robbers don’t get receipts.

And because of robbers.

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.
