We’re the Only Ones Sticky-Fingered Enough

LSP trooper resigns after being issued summons, accused of stealing at Target [More]

Carrying on a tradition, I see…

But he still doesn’t win the crown:

Oh, the weight of the badge…

We’re the Only Ones Rejecting Enough

The City of Sacramento, California’s legal department threatened to fine a popular retail store for public nuisance over numerous calls to police after thieves stole from its Land Park location multiple times, according to a report. [More]

First they came from Target

First they came for Target
And I did not speak out
Because I refuse to shop there…

On Target

New Jersey Target employee thwarts 3 women stealing shopping cart full of merchandise: police [More]

He’s lucky they didn’t go violently entitled on him.

Or that Target doesn’t fire him.

In general, when the grabbers say women are endangered by a gun in the home, these are the types — whose chronic poor choices include with the males they attach themselves to — that they’re talking about.

But if they admit that, they won’t be able to spread risk equity, and diversify it to include women who have made better choices.

No Act Too Filthy for Media Whores

The latest examples are pure propaganda from The Hill and The Washington Post on Monday, which led with scaremongering — “bomb threats over Pride items” — while completely burying the lede: The bomb threats against culturally embroiled retail giant Target came from pro-LGBT activists. [More]

That’s why I call them the DSM!

Dead on Target

TARGET SAYS: TEAR DOWN MOUNT RUSHMORE! [More]

Any guess on which one will still be standing? Looks like the “cancel culture” door swings both ways…

I’ve refused to shop there for years.

Terror Tactics

This is economic terrorism, literally terrorism, creating fear among the workers and forcing the corporations to sell the things you want, not sell the things you don’t.” [More]

What a great way to describe lawsuits against gun manufacturers!

Targeted

Target expects organized retail crime-fueled losses to jump by $500 million this year [More]

Maybe there’s something about “progressive” clientele and the value they place on property rights…

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.
