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.
Email from the NRA this morning that irked me. The headline claimed the NRA defeated this. In the body, they toned it down. I’ll stay a member but, man, the “headquarters” are so full of themselves.
Lots of folks from all points made this happen.
Posted by WSF | July 28, 2012, 6:18 amAgreed. While the NRA does a lot (IMHO), there are some things on which they fall short.
And, like some gun writers, they do tend to take credit they didn’t earn.
We need to keep vigilant, however. Like velociraptors, the statists will keep testing the fences! It ain’t over yet.
