On Guns
The purpose of fighting is to win. There is no possible victory in
defense. The sword is more important than the shield, and skill is
more important than either. The final weapon is the brain. All else
is supplemental.
As John Steinbeck once said:
1. Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to fight,
he'll just kill you.
2. If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck.
3. I carry a gun 'cause a cop is too heavy.
4. When seconds count, the cops are just minutes away.
5. A reporter did a human-interest piece on the Texas Rangers. The
reporter recognized the Colt Model 1911 the Ranger was carrying and
asked him: "Why do you carry a 45?" The Ranger responded, "Because
they don't make a 46."
6. An armed man will kill an unarmed man with monotonous regularity.
7. The old sheriff was attending an awards dinner when a lady
commented on his wearing his sidearm. "Sheriff, I see you have your
pistol. Are you expecting trouble?" "No Ma'am. If I were expecting
trouble, I would have brought my rifle."
8. Beware the man who only has one gun. He may have other faults as well.
But wait, there's more!
I was once asked by a female visitor, if I had a gun in the house. I
said I did. She said "Well I certainly hope it isn't loaded!" To
which I said, of course it is loaded, can't work without bullets!"
She then asked, "Are you that afraid of some one evil coming into your
house?" My reply was, "No not at all. I am not afraid of the house
catching fire either, but I have fire extinguishers around, and they
are all loaded too."
To which I'll add, having a gun in the house that isn't loaded is like
having a car in the garage without gas in the tank.
I'm a firm believer of the 2nd Amendment!
