A Gun in the House
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 because 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 of the man who owns only one gun. He probably knows how to use it!
But wait, there's more!
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 is loaded, can'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.
