Sitting Duck Policy
Is someone else's policy turning you into a Sitting Duck
Who are we and why are we here?
A "Sitting Duck Policy" is a rule made by some person or organization which effectively removes your ability to defend yourself while on (and/or in transit to/from) their property. We believe that full-disclosure will help you make a fully-informed decision in these situations — a decision that could possibly save your life. Would you like to know more?

Can anyone cite a city, state, or federal ordinance that limits the number of rounds of ammunition someone can own at any given time?
Neither could we, but that didn’t stop a 32 year old Haverhill, Massachusetts from being arrested after police found 10,000 rounds of ammo in his car and later confiscated an additional 20,000 rounds from his home.
Haverhill told police he intended to use the ammo (in .32, 9mm, and .22 calibers) for target practice. According to sources, police say that’s “unrealistic”.
Ironically, people around the country have been seen stockpiling ammunition which others have said (combined Obama’s ongoing war efforts) have led to a nation-wide shortage on ammunition.
This arrest brings up several points of concern, the two we’d like to underscore are:
- In legal terms, how much ammunition is “too much” ammunition?
- Why are police enforcing a law limiting the quantity of ammunition? A law that we haven’t found to exist.

Everyone should hear this.
Reportedly, two students at Tarrant County College in Fort Worth, Texas have filed a lawsuit against the college after being forbidden from wearing empty holsters on campus as part of a national protest.
Students for Concealed Carry on Campus was formed by a University of North Texas student in reaction to the 2007 shootings on the unarmed Virginia Tech campus.
To illustrate the feeling of vulnerability to campus crime, members and supporters wear their “holster-sans-weapon”.
Angela Robinson, the attorney for the college made the following statement:
“Of course [the college] will be opposing the request to allow empty holsters on campus. The college believes it has policies to protect the constitutional rights of students on campus, but also has to worry about the safety of students.” [emphasis added]
What’s that? An empty holster somehow poses a “safety issue” for the students?
“I can’t really get into what potentially might be evidence, but you can use your imagination as to the danger of empty holsters on campus, with the partial covering of it, or who knows if it’s empty.” [emphasis added]
Yes, we can see the dangers of empty holsters on campus. We feel there are more dangers with felons, rapists, and violent criminals on campus.
Any individual or organization that restricts how or when one can defend themself, we feel, is taking upon the responsibility for their individual protection and assumes full liability for any and all damages received by their failing to provide said protection.
