2. Anything worth shooting is worth shooting twice. Ammo is cheap – life is expensive.

3. Only hits count. The only thing worse than a miss is a slow miss.

4. If your shooting stance is good, you’re probably not moving fast enough or using cover correctly.

5. Move away from your attacker. Distance is your friend. (Lateral and diagonal movement are preferred.)

6. If you can choose what to bring to a gunfight, bring a long gun and a friend with a long gun.

7. In ten years nobody will remember the details of caliber, stance, or tactics. They will only remember who lived.

8. If you are not shooting, you should be communicating, reloading, and running.

9. Accuracy is relative: most combat shooting standards will be more dependent on “pucker factor” than the inherent accuracy of the gun. Use a gun that works EVERY TIME. “All skill is in vain when an Angel blows the powder from the flintlock of your musket.”

10. Someday someone may kill you with your own gun, but they should have to beat you to death with it because it is empty.

11. Always cheat, always win. The only unfair fight is the one you lose.

12. Have a plan.

13. Have a back-up plan, because the first one won’t work.

14. Use cover or concealment as much as possible.

15. Flank your adversary when possible. Protect yours.

16. Don’t drop your guard.

17. Always tactical load and threat scan 360 degrees.

18. Watch their hands. Hands kill. (In God we trust. Everyone else, keep your hands where I can see them.)

19. Decide to be aggressive ENOUGH, quickly ENOUGH.

20. The faster you finish the fight, the less shot you will get.

21. Be polite. Be professional. But, have a plan to kill everyone you meet.

22. Be courteous to everyone, friendly to no one.

23. Your number one option for personal security is a lifelong commitment to avoidance, deterrence, and de-escalation.

24. Do not attend a gun fight with a handgun, the caliber of which does not start with anything smaller than “4″.

25. You can’t miss fast enough to win.

Are you a Democrat, a Republican, or a Southerner? Here is a little test that will help you decide. The answer can be found by posing the following question:

You’re walking down a deserted street with your wife and two small children. Suddenly, an Islamic Terrorist with a huge knife comes around the corner, locks eyes with you, screams obscenities, praises Allah, raises the knife, and charges at you. You are carrying a Kimber 1911 cal. 45 ACP, and you are an expert shot. You have mere seconds before he reaches you and your family.

What do you do?

THINK CAREFULLY AND THEN SCROLL DOWN:

Democrat’s Answer:

Well, that’s not enough information to answer the question! Does the man look poor or oppressed? Have I ever done anything to him that would inspire him to attack? Could we run away? What does my wife think? What about the kids? Could I possibly swing the gun like a club and knock the knife out of his hand? What does the law say about this situation? Does the GLOCK have appropriate safety built into it? Why am I carrying a loaded gun anyway, and what kind of message does this send to society and to my children? Is it possible he’d be happy with just killing me? Does he definitely want to kill me, or would he be content just to wound me? If I were to grab his knees and hold on, could my family get away while he was stabbing me? Should I call 9-1-1 ? Why is this street so deserted? We need to raise taxes, have paint and weed day and make this happier, healthier street that would discourage such behavior. This is all so confusing! I need to debate this with some friends for few days and try to come to a consensus.

Republican’s Answer:

BANG!

………………………………………………………….

Southerner’s Answer:

BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! Click….. (Sounds of reloading) BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! Click

Daughter: ‘Nice grouping, Daddy! Were those the Winchester Silver Tips or Hollow Points?’

Son: ‘Can I shoot the next one!’

Wife: ‘You ain’t taking that to the Taxidermist!

Hope everyone has a Happy Holiday and finds many toys and hi-cap mags under the tree!

The way I see things may be a little more pro-active than others, but I realize that everyone is brought up differently especially around weapons. I think most peoples initial reaction when asked their opinion on the perfect gun laws would be to keep guns out of the hands of the bad guys.

I think keeping guns out of criminal’s hands is the most common and feel good answer out there, but the fact is, that is 100% impossible. That mentality shines when laws, rules, and restrictions are put into place in order to help “keep guns away from the bad guys”. All these restrictions do is make it harder for the law abiding citizens to buy and carry weapons. If a person is willing to read right past the law that says it is illegal to rape and murder , why would they stop to consider what the states laws are on carrying a weapon?

It is a very simple point, and no matter which side of the fence you stand, you have to agree with me when saying rules only apply to those that follow them.

I love hearing people’s unique point of view on guns. Do you agree with the right to bear arms? To what extent do you believe in it? Would you ever carry a firearm on your person for personal protection? Do you think that if faced in a life or death situation, without hesitation, you would be able to choose between your life and the person who is trying to take it?

I think there are a lot of people out there that do not see the need for it, and even more people that just feel that it is unnecessary. For the same reason that most people have burglar alarms installed AFTER their house is broken into. “We will get em next time tiger!” Before, they thought that it was safe enough, but nothing wakes you from that illusion faster than your safety being stripped from you in a moment. The “control” you think you have on life can be silenced any second of any day. Sadly, it usually takes experiencing it to believe it though.

I truly feel that the more responsible/sain people out there carrying weapons, the safer this world will be. If I could flip a switch and make every gun disappear on the planet, would I? No, cuz restrictions will never stop the criminal element. If they can’t point a gun at you, then they will find something to try and make you inferior. Lethal weapons can be made from something as simple as a Gatorade bottle, so making weapon rules just seems stupid to me. Obviously I don’t want to see every dingleberry in the world carry, but I would encourage everyone that is able to answer yes to the questions above to at least consider it. If you decide it is not for you, that is totally cool, but at least keep that freedom in mind when you are voting or when people make the awesome comments like “only criminals carry guns” or “why would you need one”.

Here is my friend’s girlfriend’s opinion. She was from California where gun laws are much stricter and the chances are that she was never brought up around any type of gun. (Which a lot of people grow up hearing guns are bad and that is all there is to it) So I understand where she is coming from, but I asked her, hypothetically, if someone ever held her down in a parking lot with a knife to her throat and tried to rape her, would she then feel the need for a weapon? She said yeah, mace (not my weapon of choice with a blade to my throat, but at least she is thinking defensively). I said ok well even more hypothetical, what if all you had on you was a gun. She thought and said I would not be able to shoot somebody raping me. I said what if they were done raping you and decided it was time to kill you? Could you then? She said, no, I would trade my life or body for somebody else’s; it would just be my time to go…

Argument ended there.. It wasn’t bullshit either, that was her honest answer. Of course when in that situation I think her mind would change. I just don’t see how a person could hold such high regards for the life of a person that is willing to rape or murder.

I would never use my weapon to protect “Things” (money or belongings), and do not think of myself as a C.O.P. (Citizen On Patrol) but feel it is my obligation to use this responsibility to protect life.

I have a buddy who will be posting as well. His name is Ryan. You will all have to excuse his spelling and typos. I will try to copy edit to keep them down to a minimum.

Well.. thanks for stopping by and enjoy the show!
