Some words to the wise. Shooting Advice from various Concealed Carry Instructors. If you own a gun, you will appreciate this. If not, you should get one and learn how to use it:
- Guns have only two enemies: rust and politicians.
- It’s always better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6.
- Cops carry guns to protect themselves, not you.
- Never let someone or something that threatens you get inside arms length.
- Never say “I’ve got a gun.” If you need to use deadly force, the first sound they hear should be the safety clicking off. (I prefer the sound of a round being chambered when you load a shotgun)
- The average response time of a 911 call is 23 minutes, the response time of a .357 is 1400 feet per second.
- The most important rule in a gunfight is: Always win – cheat if necessary.
- Make your attacker advance through a wall of bullets . . . You may get killed with your own gun, but he’ll have to beat you to death with it, cause it’ll be empty.
- If you’re in a gun fight:
1. If you’re not shooting, you should be loading.
2. If you’re not loading, you should be moving,
3. If you’re not moving’, you’re dead.
In a life and death situation, do something . . . It may be wrong, but do something! - If you carry a gun, people call you paranoid. Nonsense! If you have a gun, what do you have to be paranoid about? (I call it being prepared)
- You can say ‘stop’ or ‘alto’ or any other word, but a large bore muzzle pointed at someone’s head is pretty much a universal language. AMEN!
- You cannot save the planet, but you may be able to save yourself and your family.
If you believe in the 2nd Amendment, please forward.

I remember reading that freezing occurs when the brain can’t quickly determine the best action.
Like in a crisis: 10% panic, 80% freeze or ignore it, and 10% act.
In USAF basic training, immediate obedience to orders was “DRILLED” into us. I remember one DI yelling at another boot: “Just don’t stand there, DO <synonym for the act of procreation in real time> SOMETHING NOW!” It made a huge impression on me. Laugh! Scary lessons last forever?
[JR: This started off about guns and somehow got into freezing.}

People took the time to gather books they were reading and other things. They would shut down their computers before they left. But most of all, the first thing people did was to talk to each other.

During the FRIST WTC bombing, when the alarms went off, I was away from my office. My second-in-command called me and said: “The alarms are going off and we have been told to ignore it.” My first words to her were: “You evacuate our people NOW. Ignore everything and leave PDQ.” She responded: “ said we can’t and won’t get paid.” I said: “Evacuate now and I’ll take the heat.” To which I got: “Yes SIR” in a very snotty tone, Laugh! Later when my team was home safely, and were checking on a conference call that we always had set up, she reported that as they were leaving so was Honcho So and So. In our “after action” meeting in our “lessons learned”, it was entered on the board by her, “If an alarm sounds, evacuate first and then figure out all the other stuff.” N.B. Mister so and so left the company about a month later with no explanations.
Not that I was smart or a great leader, I just didn’t want to kill anyone with stupidity.
“Yesterday, I learned, that when someone makes a decision based on their heart, mind, soul, and experience, — good or bad — agree or disagree, the time for me to opine, cajole or even argue is OVER. And the time for support, understanding, and “damage control” has begun.” — Ferdinand J. Reinke 2019-Sep-22. I don’t remember why I saved this quote but it seems always appropriate.
“I particularly like unlimited concealed carry. If the criminal regards the general public as sheep to be shorn, then let’s sprinkle in a few “sheepdogs” with big teeth in the flock.
Guess which gay to bash? Buzz, wrong, you picked a Pink Pistol and you’re dead!
Guess which woman to bash? Buzz, wrong, you picked a Paxton Quigly and you’re dead!
Guess which brown person to bash? Buzz, wrong, you picked a Massad Ayoob and you’re dead!”

Hope this helps some one some where some time.
