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

Thank you for your kindness.
Shall Not Be Questioned points us to an interesting story – Armed robber is shot by an armed customer, but it occurred in a store that posted against carrying firearms.
Just like “Baby on board” makes a difference to a bad driver…. But I don’t suppose the owner will think this through and the light will go on.

Posted by guffaw1952 | July 10, 2012, 7:58 amLOL, yeah, I want to see how THIS one plays out…

I don’t suppose it will make much difference. A group I work with is hoping to get someone out to the store to ask them if they will take down the obviously defective sign.
