Gun Wisdom

Some words to the wise. Shooting Advice from various Concealed Carry Instructors. If you own a gun, you will appreciate this. If not, you should get one and learn how to use it:

A; Guns have only two enemies: rust and politicians.

B; Its always better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6.

C; Cops carry guns to protect themselves, not you.

D; Never let someone or something that threatens you get inside arms length.

E; Never say "I’ve got a gun." If you need to use deadly force, the first sound they hear should be the safety clicking off.

F; The average response time of a 911 call is 23 minutes, the response time of a .357 is 1400 feet per second.

G; The most important rule in a gunfight is: Always win - cheat if necessary.

H; Make your attacker advance through a wall of bullets . . . You may get killed with your own gun, but he'll have to beat you to death with it, cause it'll be empty.

I; If youre in a gun fight:
1/ If you're not shooting, you should be loading.
2/ If you're not loading, you should be movin,
3/ If you're not movin', you're dead.

J; In a life and death situation, do something . . . It may be wrong, but do something!

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

L; You can say 'stop' or 'alto' or any other word, but a large bore muzzle pointed at someone's head is pretty much a universal language.

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

E is wrong IMO.. A manual safety will slow you down.

Not if it is your main carry gun and you practice with it. I have shot matches with both a gun that has a safety and a gun with no manual safety. I didn't notice a difference. If you never practice with it then you will not be able to work the safety under pressure.

If the enemy is within range so are you.

First rule of a gun fight. Bring a gun.
Second rule of a gun fight. Bring your friends with guns.

If you have to disengage a safety on your PPW then you have the wrong weapon.

When I carried a .45, which will also be the next gun I purchase since I miss the one I sold, the manual safety never slowed me down. I hit it somewhere between my initial grip and probably "low-ready", but it was off by the time I could see the front sight. :D I miss that gun. :/

The Sig I currently carry has no manual safety, and the long first trigger pull has saved one dumb bastard's stupid life. I still don't like it. :D
