      Words Of Wisdom

      Clint Smith, Director of Thunder Ranch, is part drill instructor,
      and part standup comic (Thunder Ranch is a 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 shootin', you should be loadin'. If you're not
      loadin', you should be movin', if you're not movin', 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 exciting."

      More Excellent Gun Wisdom.......

      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.

      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.
