I liked "The average response time of a 911 call is 23 minutes, the response time of a .357 is 1400 feet per second."

 

[BigCity]

Me likey.

Especially the Jefferson quote at the end.

 

[Second Amendment]

I like this line...


K) If you carry a gun, people call you paranoid. Nonsense! If you have a gun, what do you have to be paranoid about?

 

[Silverlode]

Me likey.

Especially the Jefferson quote at the end.

I'm going to go out on a limb and bet Jefferson never said that.

 

[Semper Noctem]

Did you read some of the comments? I should have known better than to even look at them... Man, sheeple get my blood boiling.

 

[Mooseman]

I like that. Thanks for sharing.

M) You cannot save the planet, but you may be able to save yourself and your family.

This.

Haven't finished yet, so I'll try to avoid the comments (but it's usually like not looking at a train wreck). But what's up with that picture?

EDIT:
ha, ok I read the comments and this one made it worth it:

Agreed. They should give up their guns. I couldn't imagine a situation that would require my family or I to be armed.

Really? Read the police section in the paper. How much reason do you need?

Here we have someone who slept through History class.

Are you sure?

 

[Docster]

Yea, I'm gonna have to agree. Really don't think Jefferson made that remark.....The author would have more credibility if his first rule is; 'avoid a gunfight if at all possible'.

Too much chest-thumping, not enough reality for my tastes.

Maybe it was an honest mistake and it was really this guy that said it.

Article was "13 wasted seconds"

 

[dist1646]

As far as I know, there is only one rule in a gunfight.
Rule 1: WIN!

 

[3/2ACR Vet]

That sort of garbage is the reason why we have so much trouble with the antis

Honestly, if I were in a concealed carry class and the instructor started spouting some of those sayings, I'd get up and leave.

 

[HollowPoint]

Was posted for a good laugh. Some were funny.

Funny how similar sayings appear in so many
Posts and sig lines on this board.

Meh!

 

[Trandolph1174]

I believe the rules may cause some questions from the antis by the way we say it but they are truisms (minus E,H, and L)
A - is the most likely way we will lose our personal protection tool
B - wouldn't you? (judge by 12)
C- don't they (self protection)
D - good situational awareness ( arm length distance)
E - yeah this one, not so funny
F- could be said differently but you life expectancy is the time between the 911 call and the time the police arrive
G - a definite truism; a win is a must
H- scratch this one
I- true
J- defiantly agree with this one
K- kinda funny
L- scratch this one too
M- hopefully you can
And a more Suitable quote from Thomas Jefferson:

"As to the species of exercise, I advise the gun. While this gives [only] moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise, and independence to the mind. Games played with the ball and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun, therefore, be the constant companion to your walks."

-- Thomas Jefferson, writing to his teenaged nephew.
