Clint Smith, Director of Thunder Ranch, is part drill instructor and part standup comic.
Thunder Ranch is a top firearms training facility in Arizona.
Here are a few of his observation on tactics, firearms, self defense and
life as we know it in the civilized world.
"The most important rule in a gunfight is: Always win and cheat if necessary."
"Don't forget, incoming fire has the right of way.."
"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's going to be empty."
"If you're not shooting, you should be loading. If you're not loading, you
should be moving, if you're not moving, someone's gonna cut your head off and put
it on a stick."
"When you reload in low light encounters, don't put your flashlight in your back pocket.. If you light
yourself up, you'll look like an angel or the tooth fairy.. and you're gonna be one of 'em pretty
soon."
"Do something. It may be wrong, but do something."
"Shoot what's available, as long as it's available, until something else becomes available."
"If you carry a gun, people will call you paranoid.
That's ridiculous. If you have a gun, what in the hell do you have to be paranoid for."
"Don't shoot fast, unless you also shoot good."
"You can say 'stop' or 'alto' or use any other word you think will work,
but I've found that a large bore muzzle pointed at someone's head is pretty much the
universal language."
"You have the rest of your life to solve your problems. How long you live
depends on how well you do it."
"You cannot save the planet but you may be able to save yourself and your family."
"Thunder Ranch will be here as long as you'll have us or until someone
makes us go away; and either way, it will be very exciting."
More Excellent Gun Wisdom.......
The purpose of fighting is to win. There is no possible victory in defense.
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 do you carry a 45?' The Ranger responded, 'Because they don't make a 46.'
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 of the man who only has one gun, because he probably knows how to
use it very well.
'The true soldier fights not because he hates what is in front of him, but
because he loves what is behind
him.' ~G. K. Chesterton
A people that values its privileges above its principles will soon lose
both.
"Those who hammer their guns into plows will plow for those who do
not.." - Thomas Jefferson
