The Four Rules
1. ALL GUNS ARE ALWAYS LOADED.
2. NEVER POINT YOUR MUZZLE AT SOMETHING YOU ARE NOT WILLING TO DESTROY.
3. KEEP YOUR FINGER OFF THE TRIGGER UNTIL YOUR SIGHTS ARE ON THE TARGET AND YOU ARE READY TO SHOOT.
4. KNOW YOUR TARGET AND WHAT'S BEYOND.
FEAR
"I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain."
- Bene Gesserit, from Frank Herbert's Dune
Penn Jillette
“F**k Civility. Hyperbole, passion, and metaphor are beautiful parts of rhetoric. The marketplace of ideas cannot be toned down for the insane.” - Penn Jillette

The only time I'm in 'condition white' is when I'm sleeping. The wife occasionally calls me paranoid, but … if I'm not checking the area around us, then who will?
Posted by Rev. Paul | November 30, 2011, 12:25 pm@Rev. Paul – As it should be. Of course, all should be paying attention.An old friend invented 'Condition Grey'. Worse than White, as while reading a book or face in a laptop. Just like the Marine addition of 'Black', I don't necessarily see it's utility.

Posted by Guffaw in AZ | November 30, 2011, 7:09 pm@BobG – I certainly try to be. Sometimes my companions notice cars, trees, weirdly dressed folks – I look for weird situations and guns in hands. In a holster I think 'cool, what do they have?'
