Default Firearms Refresher Course!

FIREARMS REFRESHER COURSE



1 An armed man is a citizen. An unarmed man is a subject.



2 A gun in the hand is better than a cop on the phone.



3 Colt: The original point and click interface.



4 Gun control is not about guns; it's about control.



5 If guns are outlawed, can we use swords?



6 If guns cause crime, then pencils cause misspelled words.



7 Free men do not ask permission to bear arms.



8 If you don't know your rights, you don't have any.



9 Those who trade liberty for security have neither.



10. The United States Constitution (c)1791. All Rights Reserved.



11. What part of "shall not be infringed" do you not understand?



12. The Second Amendment is in place in case the politicians ignore the others.



13. 64,999,987 firearms owners killed no one yesterday.



14. Guns only have two enemies; rust and politicians.



15. Know guns, know peace, know safety. No guns, no peace, no safety.



16. You don't shoot to kill; you shoot to stay alive.



17. 911: Government sponsored Dial-a-Prayer.



18. Assault is a behavior, not a device.



19. Criminals love gun control; it makes their jobs safer.



20. If guns cause crime, then matches cause arson.



21. Only a government that is afraid of its citizens tries to control them.



22. You have only the rights you are willing to fight for.



23. Enforce the gun control laws we ALREADY have; don't make more.



24. When you remove the people's right to bear arms, you create slaves.



25. The American Revolution would never have happened with gun control.

1. Load magazine(s)
2. Pull back on slide; Release (Check user manual for proper procedure for your weapon of choice)
3. Aim at desired target
4. Squeeze trigger
5. Repeat as necessary until desired results are achieved.

Jim, I thought that gun control was defined as being able to hit the desired target with each round.

I'm sure Ted Kennedy was not a Corvette owner - none of us would ever run from the scene of an accident and leave an innocent passenger to drown in our car

Blown : Saw your car at Power House yesterday, looking

I busted out my XD-90 for the first time in a while the other day, at range at Harlem and Grand. Nothing special about the place, but not bad at $10 for the night.
