Favorite gun quotes NOT from movies

[armedandsafe]

A month or so ago, I had the Deputies out because somebody stepped up on my front porch and opened the door. When I turned and confronted, the squirrel turned and ran.

I was talking to the deputies later in my living room when one whom I'd never seen before noticed my duty belt and asked me, "What are you? Some kind of 'wannabe?'"

Deputy W----- turned to him and answered, "No. He's a has been. And, YOU are a rooky."

I just smiled.

I thought of this one a couple of years ago and always wanted to print it on a T-Shirt with a big image of a 1911, but never got around to it.

"Black Belt in Kung .45."

Have at it.

Back when I was in basic, one of the NCO's recounted to a new battle buddy and I about an incidence he had with a BG with a shot gun. After he was done we walked away, and my battle buddy said that if anyone ever pointed a shotgun at him he would kick their a$$. I said that if anyone tried to point a shotgun at me I would beat them to the draw!

Good, but it should have been "He's a WAS, and You are a rookie. Hope you make it as long as he did."

My favorite lines: "You can't miss fast enough to win a gunfight."
"Speed is fine; accuracy is final."

At an indoor range, in response to a new shooter looking down the barrel of his pistol after a misfire:

"It could put your eye out"


My shooting instructor:

"Practice the right thing"

While shooting at the Rifle and Pistol Club at Ft. Benning, my buddy and I had the pleasure of speaking to some young students of the Army Sniper School who were practicing on the long range berm.

After admiring each others rifles and exchanging general pleasantries, my buddy asked one young man about the effectiveness of the .223 round at 600+ yards.

He looked very thoughtful, and quite seriously answered, "Well you know, sir, I figure any round in the face is going to hurt."

Love it!

Wish I was half as cool as you lot. I've never said anything like any of that while holding a gun.

Can't call it Smart Luck, so it must've been Dumb Luck

Nervous, first Handgun Metallic Silhouette match, dumped my first shot in the dirt halfway to the chicken.

Big cloud of dust, but the bullet ricocheted into the little iron bird, made a slight "tink" sound, made the target teeter like a ten-pin, and it finally sloooowly turned around a little and slooooowly fell over, all with breath-holding drama..

A slight breeze from 9 o'clock helped, no doubt.

Red-faced, looked over my shoulder to my scorer, asked, "Does that count?"

"It fell down when you went bang... sort of," he said, shaking his head a little, adding, "You should go buy a Lotto ticket today" and marked it down as a hit.

Parphrasing a question that a reporter asked a sniper/soldier/Marine in Iraq;

Reporter: "What do you feel when you shoot someone"

Marine: "Recoil ma'am"

From The Man Himself

Col. Jeff Cooper:

If you don’t understand weapons you don’t understand fighting. If you don’t understand fighting you don’t understand war. If you don’t understand war you don’t understand history. If you don’t understand history, you might as well live with your head in a sack.

One time at Clark Brothers....

The range officer was about to call a cease fire, when one patron noted that someone had been a bit eager and headed downrange early. When the patron informed the range officer, he responded with:
"Well, is he faster than a speeding bullet?"

"Alcohol, tobacco, and firearms?"

"Who's bringing the chips?"

I have that shirt.

It really, REALLY pisses off my English Comp Prof.

Doing a foot patrol near a construction site "all those years back" when 5 punks decide to mess with me. I don't normally go for the macho BS "tough guy with a gun" bit but I really needed to get control of the situation so...

Them - "hey man, they's five of us and only one ah you".

Me - "That's true but I've got six rounds of .357 magnum right here so I guess I get to shoot one of you twice".

Pistol-packin' Grandma

I was at a client's house, looking over the lighting for a control system quote, when I noticed a large amount of "hidden" (not too well, since I saw most of them) cameras about the property. When asked, Mrs. Homeowner, about 5'4" and late 50's/early 60's, said, "That's all security stuff. You don't NEED security when you're packin'. "

Then she showed me a lovely Ladysmith in an IWB.

God Bless Texas.

"Please remember that the bullet comes out the end with the hole in it and is moving very, very fast."
-An unknown RO at a public range a few years ago

I had a pretty rough round of shooting, and I was surveying the damage(or lack there of) and I said "I didn't do too well that time." My friend Ben then said "Sometimes you don't hit anything." That is my all time favorite gun quote about me.

The two loudest sounds you'll ever hear: A bang when you expect to hear a click. And a click when you expect to hear a bang.

"First come smiles. Then comes lies. Last is gunfire." From The Dark Tower Series, by Stephen King

A sucking chest wound is nature's way of saying "slow down"

Reporter interviewing a Marine sniper on a History channel special.

Reporter- "What do you think is the last thing that goes through a terrorists mind before he is killed?"
Marine - ".........well I can't say for sure, but if I had to guess....I'd say it was made of metal and about the size of your finger nail."

 

[Colt]

I once shot a pretty nice group at the 25-yard outdoor handgun range. When they called all clear, and we went down range to check our targets, the guy shooting at the targets next to mine looked at my group and said with a grin:

"Guess I won't be breaking into your house."

I smiled and replied:

"Well, you might be able to break in. Getting back out, on the other hand..."

We had a good laugh over that, mainly because the humor was so corny.

 

[TonyB]

A buddy of mine referring to a fellow IDPA shooter who was a little less than safe on the firing line: "he waves that gun around like it's a freakin' candy bar!"
Also another IDPA shooter who was having a bad stage,and people started to chuckle:"Laugh you sons-a-b@*^$es......"
Me after a very good IDPA stage:"Not bad for a fat guy with a plastic gun."
