Best Gun & Life Advice

[357-RevolverGuy]

Post the best gun advice you've ever heard or been given, and the best advice on life. Since I'm starting this thread I will go first.

Gun advice: "Get it out of the safe. If you don't enjoy shooting it now, someone else will when you're gone."

Life advice: "Get busy living, or get busy dying" (from Shawshank Redemption)

 

[Jessie]

On life...live it
On guns..love it

 

[petepeterson]

Aim small, miss small

Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt.

 

[Geronimo Jim]

When I was just out of college working my first job and broke
I ask a wealthy club member if he wanted to buy a gun I had.
He ask why I was selling and I said I was going to buy another gun.
He said find a way...credit card, borrow money etc, but never sell a gun.
He also later told me when you find a good gunsmith, leave a gun
with him when you pick up the one he just finished. Boy is that last
one true on benchrest rifles as they take at least a year to build.

Never try to teach a pig to sing. It wastes your time and it annoys the pig.

Buy the gun you need, not the one you want.

Know that difference between love and lust. It can be a very expensive experience to find out the hard way.

Years ago, I heard an old guy share this advice and I've always remembered it. It makes pretty good sense.

"Never ask a man how many men he has killed. Never ask a man about the women he's been intimate with. And never, ever brag about either one."​

 

[Rudi]

Wyatt Earp said about pistol shooting, it is better to be a bit more accurate than a bit too fast.

Every day is a gift.

Gun advice: Shoot what YOU want.

Life advice #1: Find Jesus. Romans 10:9-10

Life advice #2: Holding a grudge is like taking poison then waiting for the other person to die.

 

[Muss Muggins]

"First rule of a gunfight: Bring a gun . . . "

"Life happens. Get in, sit down, shut up, hang on . . . "

 

[Jon651]

Gun Advice: (From a former instructor, many years ago) - Always respect a gun for what it is - a weapon designed to kill. The moment you don't respect a gun for what it is, is the moment you (or someone else) gets hurt.

Life Advice: (From my father) - Never trust a skinny cook!

If that were true, then I should be able to bench press a Buick.

My dad gave me both at the same time.

Gun advice: shoot, clean, repeat.
