As an ex Military member and police officer I had to pass on a bit of wisdom
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.
1. Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to fight, he'll just kill you.
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. 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 shotgun.'
7. Beware the man who only carries 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, it 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 too”.
And remember
If guns kill people then...
pencils miss spel words
cars make people drive drunk
spoons made Rosie O'donnell fat
Lock and load
Re: Lock and load
Hehe nice collection of wisdom.
The only problem I have with loaded guns in the home is the adults keeping them a secret from the children. Education and respect is key here. Teach the children what a gun is, what it can do and what happens to them if they get a hold of it. When I was a kid my Gramps kept one or more always loaded or at least with their bullets in him room and the basement, they were never locked up unless he went out of town for a long time. My brother and I knew what they did and why he had them. He would take us out to go shooting now and then with his 22 rifle. We are both still very much alive and kicking!
I'll totally believe this one! There is a really good chance that the old fella had survived a war. If someone survives a war then they probably know how to use a fire arm.Redith wrote:1. Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to fight, he'll just kill you.
