The handgun would not be my choice of weapon if I knew I was going to a fight. ...I'd choose a rifle, a shotgun, an RPG or an atomic bomb instead.
Beware the man who only has one gun. He probably knows how to use it!
An armed man will kill an unarmed man with monotonous regularity.
Don't forget, incoming fire has the right of way.
When seconds count, the cops are just minutes away.
Don't shoot fast, shoot good.
