It May Be That There Is Such

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.

Political Correctness Is Neither Political Nor Is It Correct. It Amounts To Social Censorship, And The Sooner We Spit It Out, The Better.

According To Herodotus, The Ancient Persians Felt That What Was Necessary In The Background Of A Young Man Entering Adulthood Was His Ability To Ride, Shoot Straight, And Speak The Truth. Perhaps We Should Now Grant Our College Degrees To Young Men Who Measure Up To That Standard.

At Long Last I Have Discovered That Most Shooters Are Not Interested In Firearms As Tools, But Rather As Toys. Such People Do Not Acquire Their Weapons Because Of What They Will Do, But Rather To Gratify The "christmas Morning Joy" That We Largely Left Behind In Our Childhood.

Aggressiveness Carries With It An Incalculable Moral Edge In Any Combat, Offensive Or Defensive.
