If you must use your hands, use them with all the strength you possess... If you choose to strike, by all means strike hard.

Remember the first rule of gunfighting ... have a gun.

Owning a handgun doesn't make you armed any more than owning a guitar makes you a musician.

On the very instant that we know that our assailant intends us serious physical harm, we must work just as fast as we can.

At long last I have discovered that most shooters are not interested in firearms as tools, but rather as toys. Such people do not acquire their weapons because of what they will do, but rather to gratify the "Christmas morning joy" that we largely left behind in our childhood.

It is true that a victim who fights back may suffer for it, but one who does not almost certainly will suffer for it.

The rifle is a weapon. Let there be no mistake about that. It is a tool of power, and thus dependent completely upon the moral stature of its user. It is equally useful in securing meat for the table, destroying group enemies on the battlefield, and resisting tyranny. In fact, it is the only means of resisting tyranny, since a citizenry armed with rifles simply cannot be tyrannized.
