Gun Wisdom 
 
        Some words to the wise.  Shooting Advice from various Concealed Carry Instructors.  If you own a gun, you will appreciate this.  If not, you should get one and learn how to use it:
 
A: Guns have only two enemies rust and politicians.
 
B: Its always better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6.
 
C: Cops carry guns to protect themselves, not you.
 
D: Never let someone or something that threatens you get inside arms length.
 
E: Never say "Ive got a gun."  If you need to use deadly force, the first sound they hear should be the safety clicking off.
 
F: The average response time of a 911 call is 23 minutes, the response time of a .357 is 1400 feet per second.
 
G: The most important rule in a gunfight is: Always win - cheat if necessary.
 
H: Make your attacker advance through a wall of bullets . . . You may get killed with your own gun, but he'll have to beat you to death with it, cause it'll be empty.
 
I: If you're in a gun fight:
        1/ If you're not shooting, you should be loading.
        2/ If you're not loading, you should be movin,
        3/  If you're not movin', you're dead.
 
J: In a life and death situation, do something . . . It may be wrong, but do something!
 
K: If you carry a gun, people call you paranoid. Nonsense! If you have a gun, what do you have to be paranoid about?
 
L:  You can say 'stop' or 'alto' or any other word, but a large bore muzzle pointed at someone's head is pretty much a universal language.
 
M: You cannot save the planet with that friendly weight in your pocket, but you may be able to save yourself and your family.
 
If you believe in the
2nd Amendment,
please forward.

Other words of wisdom:

...the purpose of fighting is to win.
...don't pick a fight with an old man... if he's to old to fight...he'll just kill you.
...I carry a gun... because a cop is too heavy.
...Don't shoot fast...shoot good.
...Don't forget...incoming fire has the right of way.
...A handgun would not be my weapon of choice if I knew I was going to be in a fight...I'd choose a rifle, a shotgun, an RPG, or an atomic bomb.
...When seconds count...the cops are just minutes away.
...The purpose of the pistol is to stop a fight that somebody else started.
...To need and not have is worthless...to have and not need is priceless.

and finally.....

Safety is something that happens between your ears....not something you hold in your hands.....


If your not paying for it, your not the customer.  Your the product being sold...
If you think there are rules of war...you have already lost
You may find me one day dead in a ditch somewhere. But by God, you’ll find me in a pile of brass..

Slow is smooth, smooth is fast.

...and the things of Earth will grow strangely dim...
