One of my friend's mothers read about a mugging just down the street from his apartment and called him. she said:
"Jason, if someone tries to rob you, you just give them whatever they want, and call the police."
he replied: "I'll be happy to give him what he wants, as long as he wants 8 rounds of .45 in the chest."

My Uncle Mike (no relation to the holster) mentioned that any criminal unfortunate enough to encounter him would receive a 230grain cranial lead injection.

"If they come to take my guns away, they better bring armor and pack a lunch."

My cousin responding to the woman with a shopping cart full of bottled water in the check out line at the grocery store shortly before the great Y2K melt down.
"I don't need to buy water, I have plenty of bullets."

My old partner who took up hitting people over the head with his Kel Light because it was easier to document than shooting people.
Rookie: "Hey Jake, you ever shoot anyone?"
Jake: "Reported or not reported?"
 
Okay, I haven't seen these two yet:

"If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck!"

"Don't ever get in a gunfight with a buffalo hunter...there ain't no such thing as cover!"
 
"You've been shot in the femoral artery. You're bleeding out. Save me a bullet....Walk towards the light." -The Punisher


"Sic vis pacem parabellum - If you want peace, prepare for war."

"Get in a gun fight in the morgue, remember rule number one: dont hide behind the thin guy." -The Punisher
 
I confess to having only read the first and last pages of this thread, and I am sure someone has already mentioned it, but my all time favorite gun qoute comes from The Magnificent Seven when Steve McQueen says "We deal in lead, friend.". Classic.

lol ***.. that's not very good advice. Your friend planning on using his bullets to steal other people's water during a SHTF situation? What if he tries to steal water from someone who also has plenty of bullets. :confused:
 
Something I said during a gun related arguement at work "Whatever, have fun shooting your cinderblock" (referring to his 9mm Hi-Point)

A semi-auto Thompson is like buying Corvette G06 with a 4-cyl for $20,000. Yeah it's a Corvette, but..."
 
Why do you carry a 45? Cause they don't make a 46. Unknown

From U.S. Marshalls- Get yourself a glock and get rid of the nickle plated sissy pistol.

From Shooter- Welcome to Tennesee, the patron state of shootin stuff.
 
My personal Favorite is from the Terminator
The Terminator: The .45 Long Slide, with laser sighting.
Pawn Shop Clerk: These are brand new; we just got them in. That's a good gun. Just touch the trigger, the beam comes on and you put the red dot where you want the bullet to go. You can't miss. Anything else?
The Terminator: Phased-plasma rifle in the forty watt range.
Pawn Shop Clerk: Hey, just what you see, pal.

Glad to see my sig line made it in this one:)

From an old friend south of the border - Plomo y Plata.

From an instructor a long time ago - Put your rounds between the nipples and the nose and down they go.

Overheard at a training site across the big pond - Two to the body and one to the head, makes a terrorist dead, dead, dead.

From a really frustrated instructor to an individual who difficulty on a 45 qual course - If you can put at least one round between the a** and the adam's apple you might survive. (He eventually qualified to carry)

Amendment II

Clint Smith on:


Tactics:
"So a guy says, ‘I’m good! I move, I shoot, I communicate.’ Yeah, but can you do it on the ground? Because that’s where you’re gonna be in a fight."

Gunfights:
"It’s real different when the bad guy shoots back. It doesn’t mean you’re going to lose, it just makes the story more interesting afterward."

Caution:
"The best example of good training is to never get in a fight."

Defensive Driving:
"If you’re accosted, don’t get out of the car. Put it in some other gear and put both feet on the gas. Clint’s school of driving-add power!"

Running Out Of Ammo:
"If pointing an empty gun at your opponent makes him duck, you may live for an extra two seconds-and who knows? I may find another gun, the bad guy may give up, or the ammo fairy may drop me a magazine."

Target Recognition:
"If we’re going down a hall and I see the end of a double barrel shotgun, I better communicate to my partner, ‘cause I can be pretty sure it’s not the Easter bunny on the other end."

Marksmanship:
"Open up the ground between you and the threat. At arm’s distance, your opponent doesn’t have to be good, he just has to be lucky."

Coordination:
"It doesn’t do me any good to have a partner and shoot ‘em-although I’ve had some partners I’d like to shoot."

Verbal Skills:
"You better learn to communicate real well, because when you’re out there on the street, you’ll have to talk to a lot more people than you’ll have to shoot, or at least that’s the way I think it’s supposed to work."

Big Bore Sixguns:
"...He asked, ‘Did you hit him?’ Hey, I don’t know, but he was smokin’ when he ran outta here."

Counting Your Shots:
"It’s our experience that in a fight you will continue to shoot the gun until the threat goes away or until the gun is empty."

Hesitation:
"Don’t be a deer caught in the headlights of the Kenworth of life!"

Long Guns Vs. Handguns:
"They say you can’t use a rifle or shotgun indoors because a bad guy will grab the barrel. Yeah? Well, he better hang on, ‘cause I’m gonna light him up and it’ll definitely be an "E" ticket ride."

Conserving Ammo:
"People ask, ‘What do you do if the guy’s on drugs?’ Shoot ‘em! ‘But what if it doesn’t work?’ Shoot ‘em some more!"

The Defensive Mindset:
"The only reason we would plant our feet is to dig ‘em real good so we can run, ‘cause we’re about to get the hell out of here."

The Survival Instinct:
"Anyone can understand shooting to protect themselves. You give me five minutes and I’ll make anyone on this planet mad enough to shoot me. The real question is, will they have that much time in a fight? You need to make that decision before you start to fight-only your life depends on it."

CLINT SMITH ON THE 1911
“The 1911 remains popular because it’s an efficient tool. In more than 30 years of experience, I’ve met more competent, serious gunmen who carry 1911’s than those who pack any other handgun. They are professionals – policemen, government agents and others who carry handguns daily because the know their live may depend on it…Me? I’ve carried a 1911 every single day for the past 20 years. It’s a very comforting gun to have at your hip. It offers a good, consistent single-action trigger pull and is wonderfully dependable. Because the 1911 is basically a defensive handgun, I’m not concerned about tight groups. I don’t bother with expanding hollowpoints that could cause feeding problems. For absolute reliability, I shoot only high-quality ball ammunition. That big .45 slug doesn’t have to expand to be effective.” From Guns and Ammo, September, 2001.

More:
"The handgun would not be my choice of weapon if I knew I was going to a fight. I’d choose a rifle, a shotgun, an RPG or an atomic bomb instead."

"The two most important rules in a gunfight are: always cheat and always win."

"Every time I teach a class, I discover I don’t know something."

"Don’t forget, incoming fire has the right of way."

"Make (your attacker) advance through a wall of bullets. 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."

"If you’re not shootin’, you should be loadin’. If you’re not loadin’, you should be movin’. If you’re not movin’, someone’s gonna cut your head off and put it on a stick."

"When you reload (in low light encounters), don’t put your flashlight in your back pocket. If you light yourself up, you’ll look like an angel or the tooth fairy - and you’re gonna be one of ‘em pretty soon."

"Do something. It may be wrong, but do something."

"Nothing adds a little class to a sniper course like a babe in a ghille suit."

"Shoot what’s available, as long as it’s available, until something else becomes available."

"If you carry a gun, people will call you paranoid. That’s ridiculous. If I have a gun, what in the hell do I have to be paranoid about?"

"Don’t shoot fast, shoot good."

"You can say ‘stop’ or ‘alto’ or use any other word you think will work, but I’ve found that a large bore muzzle pointed at someone’s head is pretty much the universal language."

"You have the rest of your life to solve your problems. How long you live depends on how well you do it."

"You cannot save the planet. You may be able to save yourself and your family."


I plan on using the ammo fairy and Kenworth of life frequently in the future. :)
