Speed is the absolute essence of any form of combat

It is long been a principal of ours that one is no more armed because he has possession of a firearm than he is a musician because he owns a piano. There is no point in having a gun if you are not capable of using it skillfully.

A fine marksman is with a second rate rifle is far more effective than the reverse.

We thought everybody knew by now that barrel length has almost nothing to do with accuracy. I believe the myth of the superior accuracy of a long rifle dates from colonial days, when the only way to extend sight radius was to make the barrel as long as possible. It is interesting how long it takes a myth to die.

If you find yourself under lethal attack don't be kind. Be harsh. Be tough. Be ruthless.

Your mind-set is your primary weapon

It has long been my conviction that a masked man with a gun is a target. I see no reason to change that view.
