Me talkin to 2 ATF agents. Alchohol, tobacco and firearms sounds like one hell of a party am I invited.
My favorite:
When the news reported asked the Army sniper what he felt after shooting someone, his answer was: "Recoil".

This is not really a gun quote but it's gun related.
Back in the early eighties I lived on the second floor of an apartment building and I had a 65 Mustang fastback. The car had been vandalized and decided I was going to catch whoever it was that was messin with my ride.
I stayed awake at night and kept checkin out the window from time to time to see if anyone was around. I had backed it up against the wall directly below my window.
One early morning as I lay awake I heard footsteps in the gravel parking lot. I grabbed my trusty shotgun and slipped open the window.
I leaned out the window with my shotgun just in time to see a young guy in his late teens to early twenty's walk past all the other vehicles and go straight up to mine and look in the driver's side window.
I got his attention by asking him:
You looking for something?
His eyes got real wide real quick and he started moving rapidly away from my car. As he was leaving in a hurry I shouted:
I KNOW WHO YOU ARE AND I KNOW WHERE YOU LIVE!
(He looked like a guy that lived 3 or 4 houses down from the parking lot.)
I came back in the window and had a good laugh as I thought about the look on his face.
For some strange reason, no one messed with my car again.

Surprised it took 'til the 97th posting to get to Clint Smith. The one that I remember most, and don't think it was on the list, was:
"I may get killed with my own gun, but he's gonna have to beat me to death with it, 'cause it's going to be empty."
"It's coming straight for us!!!!!!!" If you dont know that quote from south park, chances are you're over 30 
I was in PA and a local reporter asked the million dollar question to a 86 yo man, who was getting his tag recorded by rangers for black bear season.
The reporter, "Did you catch this bear?"
The man," son i SHOT that bear i'm too old to chase them down anymore!"

Good ones so far, here are some i picked up:
"There is no such thing as overkill"
"Never bring a knife to a gun fight"
In some sort of instruction manual or something: "Keep the business end pointed away from you, then conduct business"
"Thread lightly and carry a big stick" (stick being slang for a gun off course)

Well, the 'shooter related' quote that springs to mind was when I related to Dad that I had heard the Enfield wasn't a very accurate rifle.
Don't worry, girl. It's only as accurate as you are.

Paraphrased from memory, I acquired this as a Cooperism though a search suggests Cooper was passing along wisdom he acquired elsewhere:
If the enemy is in range so are you. Do not draw fire, it irritates those around you.
If the enemy is in range so are you. Do not draw fire, it irritates those around you.
smile, be polite and have a plan to kill everyone you meet.

My sig line.
Sometime think about changing it to a different line I come across, but nothing, so far, compares to it.

I believe it was Elmer Keith who, while speaking of his beloved .45 Colt, said,
"The idea is to let out a lot of blood and let in a lot of cold air."

Gun Quotes
Having spent some time as an armed guard:
My friend was standing guard on a business when a guy walked past, looked at the firearm my friend was packing and asked
"You any good with that hogleg?" My friend responded:
"Good enough to put two in your ten-ring."
While out on patrol (yes - some armed security guards go on patrol), we got a cup of coffee a a "stop-N-rob". I was talking to my partner as we were leaving when this young man standing nearby, approached me and stated:
"that looks like a toy gun." I said:
"You don't really want to find out, now do you?"
Being armed with a 4" barrel gun in an appropriate size holster offers some misconceptions. I had been issued a 4" barreled .38 S&W revolver for secuirty work. I cound not find an approrpriate glossy holster in my "hand" in the pile. What I came up with was a leather holster that I would have to polish. This thing was more of a sword scabbard.
While wearing my highly shined holster for about an 8" barreled gun with the standard size 4" gun I was packing, more than one person commented
"Damn! That is one big gun!"

· "If you must own a 9mm, keep it in a box so you don’t accidentally load it. If you do load it, don’t shoot it. If you do shoot it don’t hit someone. Because if you do hit someone and if he ever realizes he’s shot, he’s going to be angry!" - Jeff Cooper
· 9mm's are all well and good until someone loses an eye.
· As long as one doesn't get into a gunfight, a 9mm is just fine. - Mark Moritz
· Do not attend a gunfight with a handgun whose caliber does not start with a "4."
· "Because you know that the 9mm is a .45 set on stun."
·"Why did I shoot him 7 times? Because 6 times wouldn’t have been enough and 8 would have been too many." - Massad Ayoob
