Saw this in a coopers corner years ago about a Norwegian vetern in WWII.

Interviewer: Tell me sir was it hard to shoot another human being?

Vet: Oh yes very hard, they tend to duck or shoot back.
 
Like a typical artist, I'll quote myself:

This was from my first shooting experience at Calibers in Albuquerque, NM

Me: "You know, I'm not a stereotypical gun owner"

Rangemaster: "Few people are".
 
"if someone wants to shoot at me, I sure hope he does it on full-auto." - Jeff Cooper
 
Not a famous quote, but one I have used when things aren't going well at the range (we've all had one of those days!): "I couldn't hit a bull in the butt with a bass fiddle today!":D
 
Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he's too old to fight, he'll just kill you.

As in, "I may be too old and feeble to kick your a**, but I can still pull a trigger!"
 
Frank Dooley: "It's a fifty caliber. They used to use this to hunt buffalo with... up close. It's only legal in two states... and this isn't one of 'em."

Maggie Cavanaugh (instructing the security guard trainees on firearm usage): "Just remember that when you pull the trigger, bullets are going to come out very, very fast. So make sure that you keep the gun pointed away from you. Now, thats about it. You are now armed guards. God help us all."
 
I was comming down the stairs

in an apartment building. 3 'dudes', one says to me, with his hand in his jacket pocket " I got a gun" ( I already had mine in my winter coat pocket pointed at him) & I told him nicely....that best be a sandwich you take out, cause whatever it is, I'm gonna make you eat it. They laughed a bit & kinda drifted away. I do think some time in the past I heard that line in a movie.
 
The DEA agent on youtube..."I'm the only one in this room expert enough to handle this Glock" BOOM I'm ok it's not too bad... Call 911.
 
My shooting buddy and I had the pleasure of speaking with a sniper school student out at the Ft. Benning rifle range one day.

When we asked what he thought about the effectiveness of the .223 round past 600 yds (the distance he was shooting at), he replied thoughtfully, "Well sir, I reckon any round in the face is gonna hurt".

Louis Gossett said that in The Laughing Policeman with Walter Mathau and Bruce Dern. The person he warned was a pimp he had just tripped to the ground.
 
Overheard at a gun show;

Did you just buy that beautiful vintage shotgun or are you trying to sell the old piece of junk?
 
" A 9mm may expand, But a .45 won't shrink" has been said on most gun boards a million times.

There are two good ones on my sig line.
 
They may find me dead on the side of the road somewhere, but I'll be lying in a pile of brass.


Van Leek: Damn, boy! You shot that man in the back!
Billy Ray: Well, his back was to me.
 
"I'm all for gun control, I use both hands!"

"Keep laughing, I'm reloading" In response to mockery of the person's genitalia size.

"Whats the secret to being as good as you are?" "Don't miss"
 
I've always remembered this one from when I was doing commercial roofing one summer while in college.
Our foreman was a rough ol' redneck and a couple of the guys he hired (besides me) to help with the job were about 21, cocky and probably headed for a life in prison.
One time one of them got mad at the foreman and said, "I'll just go home, get my gun and kill you right here."
The old guy looked at him and said, "They didn't just make one gun, sell it to you and quit."
 
TAPS

A young Tom Cruise after he fired off an M-16 to scare off a gang of punks.

We were in an explosive situation which jeopardised the mission. I simply defused the situation.
 
Someone, once upon a time had this in their sig:

"Bother," said Pooh, as he chambered another round.

I still giggle at that
