"The most important rule in a gunfight is: Always win and cheat if necessary."
“Don't forget, incoming fire has the right of way."

"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." "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 you have a gun, what in the hell do you have to be paranoid for." "Don't shoot fast, unless you also shoot good."

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