Is there a thread on this already? If not, have at it...

"A handgun is only useful for fighting your way back to the rifle you shouldn't have dropped in the first place" - Clint Smith (I think, maybe Jeff Cooper)

Charleston, SC Chief of Police Ruben Greenberg (June 1996, IIRC)

From Bourke's 'Life On The Border With Crook':

Deo -

Kipling is one of my favorites (thank you pax, I've never read the one on your page..) and if you can get through his thick, colloquial, poetic form, there's a lot of wisdom to be had.
 
My #1 of all time:

"I know what you're thinking. "Did he fire six shots or only five?" Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself. But being as this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself a question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?"
