Here are a few of my favorite quotes:
Have you had enough training? "At such time as you are really
convinced, when menaced by an armed attacker, that he is in
greater danger from you, than you are from him..."
Col. Jeff Cooper
"I won't be wronged. I won't be insulted, and I won't be laid a
hand on. I don't do these things to other people and I require
the same from them." John Wayne as J.B. Books in the movie
The Shootist.
Why do they call the 1873 Single Action Army Colt a Peacemaker?
"..when I hit a feller along side the head with it, it makes him
awful peaceful." Wyatt Earp
"There is no second place in a gunfight." Bill Jordan
"Double action in a self-loading pistol is a solution to a
nonexistent problem." Col. Jeff Cooper
When asked why he shot and cleaned his guns every morning
he said: "I ain't ready to go yet, and I ain't taking any chances.
When I draw and pull I gotta be sure..." Wild Bill Hickok
"I hope you never have to shoot any man, but if you do, shoot
him in the guts near the navel. You may not make a fatal shot,
but he will get a shock that will paralyze his brain and arm so
much that the fight is all over." Wild Bill Hickok
"The first rule of gun-fighting...is have a gun.."
Col. Jeff Cooper
"It isn't always being fast or even accurate that counts. It's
being willing. I found out early that most men, regardless of
cause or need, aren't willing. They will blink an eye or draw a
breath before they pull the trigger. I won't."

How about you. Do you have a few favorites?
