Owning A Handgun Doesn't Make You Armed

I Am Sometimes Perplexed By People Who Refer To Defensive Rifles, Or Defensive Rifle Shooting. The Defensive Arm Is The Pistol, Since You Have It At Hand To Meet Situations That You Do Not Anticipate. If You Have The Luxury Of Anticipating A Lethal Encounter, You Pick Up A Long Arm, Either A Rifle Or A Shotgun, But In That Case You Go On To The Attack. Thus Rifle Shooting Is Offensive, And Pistol Shooting Is Defensive. Of Course, Life Does Not Always Duplicate Theory, And There Are Exceptions To Everything, But Nevertheless The Rifle Is Not A Defensive Weapon In Concept.

It Appears That The Murder Rate Inside Prisons Is Ten Times Higher Than That Outside Prisons. It Must Be Due To All Those Kalashnikov Rifles That Are Issued To Prisoners Upon Their Incarceration.

No Sensible Person Ever Opens The Door Of His House Without Knowing Who Is Knocking.

Any Man Who Is A Man May Not, In Honor, Submit To Threats Or Violence. But Many Men Who Are Not Cowards Are Simply Unprepared For The Fact Of Human Savagery.

We Are Fully Justified In Valuing The Life And Person Of An Intended Victim More Highly Than The Life Of A Pernicious Assailant. The Attacker Must Be Stopped. At Once And Completely.
