Joe Willie On The Shrimpbox: Protecting Yourself

This is the law: The purpose of fighting is to win. There is no
possible victory in defense. The sword is more important than the shield
and skill is more important than either. The final weapon is the brain.
All else is supplemental.

As John Steinbeck once said:

1. Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to fight,
he'll just kill you.

2. If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck.

3. I carry a gun cause a cop is too heavy.

4. When seconds count, the cops are just minutes away.

5. A reporter did a human interest piece on the Texas Rangers.
The reporter recognized the Colt Model 1911 the Ranger was carrying and
asked him, "Why carry a . 45?". The Ranger responded with, "Because they
don't make a .46." * Credit to Retired Texas Ranger Joaquin (Waukeen)
Jackson , Alpine, Texas .

6. An armed man will kill an unarmed man with monotonous regularity.


7. The old sheriff was attending an awards dinner when a lady
commented on his wearing his sidearm. "Sheriff, I see you have your
pistol. Are you expecting trouble?"
"No Ma'am. If I were expecting trouble, I would have brought my
rifle."

8. Beware the man who only has one gun. HE PROBABLY KNOWS HOW TO USE
IT!!!

Comments:
I was once asked by a lady visiting if I had a gun in the house.
To which I said I did. She said, "Well I certainly hope it isn't
loaded!" To which I said, "Of course it is loaded, can't work without
b ullets.." She then asked, "Are you that afraid of someone evil coming
into your house?"
My reply was, "No not at all. I am not afraid of the house catching
fire either, but I have fire extinguishers around, and THEY ARE ALL
LOADED."
