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 and asked him ‘Why do you carry a .45?’
The Ranger responded, ‘Because they don’t make a 46.’
6. An armed man will kill an unarmed man with monotonous regularity.
7. 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.’
8. Beware the man who only has one gun. HE PROBABLY KNOWS HOW TO USE IT!!!
I was once asked by a lady visiting if I had a gun in the house. I said I did.
She said ‘Well I certainly hope it isn’t loaded!’
To which I said, Of course it’s loa ded, it won’t work without bullets!’
She then asked, ‘Are you that afraid of some one 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 too.’
To which I’ll add, having a gun in the house that isn’t loaded is like having a car in the garage without gas in the tank.

You’ll get some flak for this one, no pun intended, but the truth is freedom doesn’t exist without conflict, and conflict is usually carried out by men with guns.
If not for a lot of men with a lot of guns, and uniforms, we couldn’t have this discussion, and if we did, we would risk getting toted away.
In a prefect world, ther would be no need for cops, or soldiers, and when that world arrives, I’ll advocate our guns be turned into farm machinery.
Until then, I’ll own guns, and I’ll support those people, in the military, law enforcement, and plain ole gun nuts, to have the right to bear arms.
The gun nuts do scare me, but the people who want to take the guns away scare me more.
Take Care,

WITH MY DAUGHTERS STALKER IN THE BACK YARD AND THE COPS RESPONDING TO THE WRONG TOWN (TRUE STORY) I WILL TAKE A GUN OVER A COP ANY DAY.
