There's an old Irish proverb:

ferr doairm diairm - "Better badly armed than weaponless"

(Of course, it's best to be well-armed if you can be!)

Quote:
"Having a gun and thinking you are armed is like having a piano and thinking you are a musician."

Actually it's one of Cooper's most incisive analogies. Amazing that it is not understood by some.

"If you're not shooting, you should be reloading. If you're not reloading, you should be moving. If you're not shooting, reloading or moving, you're gonna be dead."- Clint Smith

"If it's time to bury em', it's time to dig em' up.

 

"If you don't want to die, keep your hands high"

 

The Old Irish spelling is different. Anyone for a short grammer lesson?

'ferr' you recognized, it means "better".

'Arm' is a word the Irish borrowed from Latin, in Old Irish it can mean either armor or weapon.

'do-' is a perjorative prefix, (as in 'dodelba' - misshapen, badly formed). 'doairm' = "badly armed".

'di-' is a negative prefix, (as in 'digrád' - dislike). 'diairm' = "unarmed".

Here's another one, 'deg-' is a prefix that means the opposite of 'do-', so 'degairm' means "well-armed"

'Ní dlig degairm fer cen gliaid' - "A man without fight does not deserve to be well-armed"

Okay, I'm finished showing off. BTW, TallPine you've got a great tag-line.

 

OMG I feel a Glock joke coming up! LOL
