13 Rules to Remember When Using a Gun
Gun usage is a complex issue that sparks debates and discussions. While guns are designed for various purposes, including self-defense and recreational activities like hunting, they can also be misused and lead to tragic consequences. It’s important to educate gun owners on responsible gun handling and safety measures. If you’re planning to have your own gun, you may visit a reputable gun shop. Speaking of recreational activities, have you tried making a 10 minute dove recipe?

More excellent Gun Wisdom…
(from Clint at Thunder Ranch)
- Don’t pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to fight, he’ll just kill you.
- If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck.
- I carry a gun cause a cop is too heavy.
- When seconds count, the cops are just minutes away.
- 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.
- 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 .’
- An armed man will kill an unarmed man with monotonous regularity.
- 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.’
- Beware the man who only has 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’s loaded, 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.
“The true soldier fights not because he hates what is in front of him, but because he loves what is behind him.”
-G. K. Chesterton
