    Firearms Advice (author unknown)

    Stolen from elsewhere on the 'net and posted without edits or comments:

    Some words to the wise. Shooting Advice from various Concealed Carry Instructors. If you own a gun, you will appreciate this. If not, you should get one and learn how to use it:

    ●Guns have only two enemies: rust and politicians.

    ●It's always better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6.

    ●Cops carry guns to protect themselves, not you.

    ●Never let someone or something that threatens you get inside arms length.

    ●Never say "I've got a gun." If you need to use deadly force, the first sound they hear should be the safety clicking off. (I prefer the sound of a round being chambered when you load a shotgun)

    ●The average response time of a 911 call is 23 minutes, the response time of a .357 is 1400 feet per second.

    ●The most important rule in a gunfight is: Always win - cheat if necessary.

    ●Make your attacker advance through a wall of bullets . . . You may get killed with your own gun, but he'll have to beat you to death with it, cause it'll be empty.
    If you're in a gun fight:
    1. If you're not shooting, you should be loading.
    2. If you're not loading, you should be moving,
    3. If you're not moving', you're dead.

    ● In a life and death situation, do something . . . It may be wrong, but do something!

    ●If you carry a gun, people call you paranoid. Nonsense! If you have a gun, what do you have to be paranoid about? (I call it being prepared)

    ●You can say 'stop' or 'alto' or any other word, but a large bore muzzle pointed at someone's head is pretty much a universal language. AMEN!

    ●You cannot save the planet, but you may be able to save yourself and your family.

    Sage advice from somebody who has been there. All the points are absolutely true. I've been in multiple gun battles and been shot once in the line of duty and I can tell you you don't have any time to talk or think you have to react and you have to react in milliseconds.
    OPINION....a view or judgment formed about something, not necessarily based on fact or knowledge.

    Wow - that's really something. You've been where most of us NEVER want to go. And, you are extraordinarily fortunate, my friend. Kudos.
