This is a little dated but, the principles apply. Very Happy

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

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

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

4. America is not at war. The U.S. Military is at war. America is at the Mall.

5. When seconds count, the cops are just minutes away. (but shoot first anyway, then call 911)

6. 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 with, 'Because they don't make a .46.'

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

8. 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.' (Winchester Model 94 30-30 Cal. and loaded with Winchester Silver Tips, no doubt).

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

Jim Wilson is known for telling little short snipits like that. I arranged for him to speak at a shooting event out in West Texas. I met him in Ft Stockton in the afternoon before the banquet and had a wonderful visit, sitting in the shade and talking about guns, shooting and such. I recall the sheriff story being told by him.
