Colonists, Hitler v the World, Serial Killers v their victims&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While I have set a serious tone the following list is mostly humorous, with a side of food for thought.&nbsp; Read it, enjoy it, <strong>add to it in the comments section&#8230;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are thirteen things to remember when carrying your weapon or deciding to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1. Guns have only two enemies rust and politicians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2. It\u2019s always better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3. Cops carry guns to protect themselves, not you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>4. Never let someone or something that threatens you get inside arms length.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>5. Never say, \u201cI\u2019ve got a gun.\u201d If you need to use deadly force, the first sound they hear should be the safety clicking off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>6. The average response time of a 911 call is 23 minutes; the response time of a .357 is 1400 feet per second.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>7. The most important rule in a gunfight is: Always win \u2013 cheat if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>8. Make your attacker advance through a wall of bullets . . . You may get killed with your own gun, but he\u2019ll have to beat you to death with it, because it\u2019ll be empty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>9. If you\u2019re in a gunfight:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; If you\u2019re not shooting, you should be loading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211;&nbsp; If you\u2019re not loading, you should be moving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211;&nbsp; If you\u2019re not moving, you\u2019re dead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>10. In a life and death situation, do something . . . It may be wrong, but do something!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>11. If you carry a gun, people call you paranoid. Nonsense! If you have a gun, what do you have to be paranoid about?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>12. You can say \u2018stop\u2019 or \u2018alto\u2019 or any other word, but a large bore muzzle pointed at someone\u2019s head is pretty much a universal language.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>13. You cannot save the planet, but you may be able to save yourself and your family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>This list is not original.\u00a0 Google had no information on who authored this.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Before sharing the following perhaps I should make a few things clear&#8230; I am a Martial Artist and as such I believe in defending yourself, regardless of the means.&nbsp; I am a firm believer in the Right to Bear Arms as a protection from evil and government alike.&nbsp; I believe in exhausting ALL reasonable avenues<a class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/karatetraining.org\/weblog\/hot-lead-self-defense\/\" title=\"Read More\"> <span class=\"button \">Read More<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":123458,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","_seopress_titles_title":"","_seopress_titles_desc":"","_seopress_robots_index":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[6,9,42],"tags":[31,193,170],"class_list":["post-1842","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-politics","category-self-defense","category-weapons","tag-guns","tag-prepared","tag-self-defense"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/karatetraining.org\/weblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1842","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/karatetraining.org\/weblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/karatetraining.org\/weblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/karatetraining.org\/weblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/123458"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/karatetraining.org\/weblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1842"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/karatetraining.org\/weblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1842\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3056,"href":"https:\/\/karatetraining.org\/weblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1842\/revisions\/3056"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/karatetraining.org\/weblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1842"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/karatetraining.org\/weblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1842"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/karatetraining.org\/weblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1842"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
