Gun Wisdom

[Ogre]

Got this in an email from my aunt.


Some words to the wise. Shooting Advice from various Conceal Carry Instructors. If you own a gun, you will appreciate this. If not, you should get one and learn how to use it:

· Guns have only two enemies – rust and politicians.

· It’s always better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6.

· Cops carry guns to protect themselves, not you.

· Never let someone or something that threatens you get inside arm’s length.

· Never say "I’ve got a gun". If you need to use deadly force, the first sound they hear should be the safety clicking off.

· The average response time of a 911 call is 23 minutes, the response time of a .357 is 1400 feet per second.

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

· 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.

· If you’re in a gun fight:
Ø If you're not shooting, you should be loading.
Ø If you're not loading, you should be movin’,
Ø if you're not movin', you're dead.

· In a life and death situation, do something . . . It may be wrong, but do something!

· If you carry a gun, people call you paranoid. Nonsense! If you have a gun, what do you have to be paranoid about?

· 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.

· 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.

...and there's no more intimidating sound to a burglar in the dark than the sound of a 12 guage pump chambering a round.

I know its not the same, but when i was deployed to Iraq in 2007 i had an Iraqi Police officer try to rob me (he wanted my cigs). And let me tell you nothing stops a attacker like the sound of the saftey being unlocked and the lazer on his chest. Need less to say i won he lost. I did a wild west draw on his butt and he went to prison. LOL gotta love side holsters.

Cory, glad you won! That was probably the most expensive pack of cigs he ever tried to get. Thanks for your service! Steve
