Fight back! Whenever you are offered violence, fight back! The aggressor does not fear the law, so he must be taught to fear you. Whatever the risk, and at whatever the cost, fight back!

It's a matter of will. If you know that you can keep your head, and that you must keep your head, you probably will keep your head.

Speed is the absolute essence of any form of combat

Buy ammunition! Remember that a man cannot have too many books, too many wines, or too much ammunition. Our adversaries on the other side are reaching for the excuse of lead poisoning. If they can push that idea through, you may wind up still owning your guns but without anything to shoot in them.

The purpose of the pistol is to stop a fight that somebody else has started, almost always at very short range.

What are we going to do if citizens are disarmed, and the government doesn't obey its own laws?

Therefore, if you are attacked, retaliate instantly. Be sudden. Be quick. Speed is your salvation.
