Thus and Not Otherwise
“The great body of our citizens shoot less as times goes on.We should encourage rifle practice among schoolboys, and indeed among all classes, as well as in the military services by every means in our power. Thus,and not otherwise, may we be able to assist in preserving peace in the world… The first step – in the direction of preparation to avert war if possible, and to be fit for war if it should come – is to teach men to shoot!”
– President Theodore Roosevelt
They Mean to be Masters
“Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority … the Constitution was made to guard against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters.”
– Noah Webster
Complete and Inevitable Failure of Gun Laws
“If gun laws in fact worked, the sponsors of this type of legislation should have no difficulty drawing upon long lists of examples of crime rates reduced by such legislation. That they cannot do so after a century and a half of trying — that they must sweep under the rug the southern attempts at gun control in the 1870-1910 period, the northeastern attempts in the1920-1939 period, the attempts at both Federal and State levels in 1965-1976 —establishes the repeated, complete and inevitable failure of gun laws to control serious crime.”
– Senator Orrin Hatch
Rack It ?
Here is another video that highlights different preferences for CC folk. While the presenter does an adequate job of expressing his side of the argument there are two additional considerations. The first supports his ‘chambered’ approach, it being the speed at which an attacker can close the distance (say 10 yards) between himself and a defender; it’s incredibly fast. So fast that most would be hard pressed to rack a round and get into a reasonable stance. The argument against the ‘chambered’ carry is based on the selection of the weapon. I, for instance, have chosen a Ruger LCP (I’ve already/ elsewhere expressed why). Now if you have an LCP, or have ever fired one, you’re aware that there is no exposed hammer and no safety on the weapon. Essentially, if you rack a round on the LCP and stick it in your pocket you are primed to blow a nasty hole through your own leg.
So what is your preference; rack-it or not?
That Every Man be Armed
“Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect everyone who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are ruined…. The great object is that every man be armed. Everyone who is able might have a gun.” –
Patrick Henry
