Default 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 your'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, but you may be able to save yourself and your family.

If you believe in the 2nd Amendment, please forward.

I think Clint Smith is the source of at least some of these sayings.

I was told the first rule of a gun fight was to have a gun.....
But I agree with the message.

Great message! I heard a lot of those when I took my CC class. Without a doubt words to live by.

Well, I've always held to this,

Owning a firearm does not make one any more armed....Than owning a guitar makes one a musician.
Only practice can make the difference

Su Amigo,
Dave

N. If you find yourself in a fair fight, it's poor planning on your part.

G; The most important rule in a gunfight is: Always win - cheat if necessary.

As Dave Spaulding say's and I paraphrase "Simply winning isn't good enough. We must PREVAIL! You could win and still end up in a wheelchair."

Agree with the wise Mr. Dave
Also don't believe for a second you are invincible or
fully prepared for what might happen just cause
you have a gun strapped on. Practice, Practice, Practice,
if you are going to concealed carry.

Chuck
