Guns......

bigndn · 03-28-08, 08:37 PM

I got this in an email today and thought I'd share.

My liberal friends probably won't like this, but this is the truth of the matter............

Guns
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. When seconds count, the cops are just minutes away.
5. A reporter did a human interest piece on the Texas Rangers. The reporter recognized the Colt Model 1911 the Ranger was carrying andasked him, "Why carry a .45?". The Ranger responded with, "Because they don't make a 46." * Credit to Retired Texas Ranger Joaquin Jackson , Alpine, Texas
6. An armed man will kill an unarmed man with monotonous regularity.
7. The old sheriff was attending an awards dinner when a ladycommented 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."
8. Beware the man who only has one gun. HE PROBABLY KNOWS HOW TO USE IT!!!

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 is loaded, can't work without bullets.." She then asked, "Are you that afraid of someone evil coming into your house?" My reply was, "No not at all. I am not afraid of the house catching fire either, but I have fire extinguishers around, and THEY ARE ALL LOADED."

Parting note: An unloaded gun is just a club.

"If I were expecting trouble I would have brought my rifle"

Perfect!

This one is a classic but I actually got to use it a while back..

"Why do you carry a gun?!"
"In case I have to shoot someone!"

We were camping in AZ and I had my Sig P226. I usually CCW but in the desert I open carry for comfort.

#7 is a keeper.

I always liked the logic of number 1. I always say if you are going to run from the cops you better run from a young one that is in shape so he can just catch you......an old one or a fat one will just shoot you.

Funny sayings, but who wants to bet me that John Steinbeck actually wrote that? Why can't the writer just say he has compiled some funny sayings about guns, instead of trying to attribute them to someone famous?

I had an old guy tell me once that you should never agree to fight someone who is significantly older than you. Because if they are willing to fight at their age, they probably are really good at it.

Better to always HAVE a gun and never need it, Than to need a gun and not HAVE it

I have a hard time believing that Steinbeck said, "If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck."
