Old Lawman!
Author Unknown
To all you old law dogs now just lyin' in the shade, current pistoleros,
and other fervent Second Amendment believers:
I would rather be your
friend, but if you are not interested in that, I am prepared to be a
capable and efficient enemy.
This is the law: 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. America is not at war. The U.S. Military is at war. America is at
the Mall.
5. When seconds count, the cops are just minutes away.
(Yep, time is 'some time', but shoot first, then call 911)
6. 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 carry a .45?". The Ranger responded with, "Because they don't make a .46."
7. An armed man will kill an unarmed man with monotonous regularity.
8. 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." (Winchester Model 94 30-30 Cal. and loaded with Winchester Silver Tips, no doubt).
9. Beware the man who only has one gun.
HE PROBABLY KNOWS HOW TO USE IT!!!
AMEN!
To this I will add my comments.
I was once asked by a lady visiting if I
had a gun in the house. To which I said I did. She said "well I
certainly hope it isn't loaded!" To which I said, "Of course it's
loaded." She then asked, "Are you that afraid of some one evil coming into your house?"
My reply was,"Nope. I'm not afraid of the
house catching afire either, but I have fire extinguishers around, and
THEY'RE ALL LOADED."
