Rules

Two weeks ago, my son and I went down to the local range to shoot various CZ pistols, supplied by a CZ factory rep. When we got home, my wife asked if we bought anything. When I said that I bought 2 pistols, her mouth dropped open. However, I did not buy anything. When she asked why I would buy 2 more guns? I told her of my gun rules, listed below.

Gun rules:
1. You can never have to many guns.

2. It is better to be over gunned than under gunned.

Does anyone have some good rules to add?

I did eventualy tell my wife that I did not buy anything and was out of the doghouse.
 
4. Every time I pull the trigger and the hammer falls on a loaded round, the gun must fire. If the gun breaks this rule, the gun has to go.
 
How about: "Wives should love husbands who are willing to risk their lives to defend their family's".
 
Every gun has it's own purpose. In example one may need a specific gun for hunting gray squirrels and another for red squirrels.

Single action revolvers must be owned in multiples of two.

Your back up should be adequate as your primary weapon if needed in a pinch. Your back up, back up should be as good as your primary weapon and your back up.

Spare ammo on ones person is easily determined by using the simple weight rule. It should weigh less than a sport utility vehicle but more than a sub compact. If you do not walk with a limp you are not carrying enough guns or ammo one.

Never retrieve your spent brass until after the last shot has been fired in a gunfight.

Any handgun that jambs because of limp wristing has a design flaw. Even the plastic ones made in that country next door to Germany. :p

(Sorry, 9X19. I had to throw that last one in for you. ;))

every gun has its own destinct place in your gun safe so you can't have too many guns. each gun has its own purpose.

you should always have 2 of each gun in case one breaks. ;-)

buy them ALL now while you still can!!!
 
#12. No matter how much you rationalize carrying the mouse-gun, if TSHTF, you'll wish you had brought the rat.

#13. Never say anything over the telephone (or the internet) that you wouldn’t want your Mama to hear in open court. :cool:

#1Prime*: All rules are provisional. They are guidelines. You still have to think, and decide what's right, everytime. If a rule doesn't make sense, it should be disregarded/discarded. One such instance, or even several, may not be enough to invalidate the rule, however.

If they take our guns, I intend to let my hair grow long and acquire the jawbone of an ass.
 
X. Anything worth shooting is worth shooting twice.

XX. You can't be too thin, too rich, or have too many guns.

XXX. No one ever got killed because he was carrying too many guns or too many mags.

XXXX. Anything worth doing is worth doing to excess.

Because you want to.

Your in search of perfection.
Spare parts guns :D
Traded 3 for 2 so I have less, isn't that better?
Traded 1 for 2, so I came out ahead :D
I would have bought more but they didn't have enough ammo for more than two.
 
How about these shopping rules:

If "stopping power" were everything we'd all be carrying 18 inch naval guns. Buy the most powerful gun that you can CONTROL.

A day at the range renting different models will cost you from $20 to $60 bucks, and could save you from spending $600 - $1000 on a gun that doesn't work for you.

Vote with your dollars for quality products and good customer service.

When a sales person hands you a gun, step one is to open it up and verify an empty chamber. Step two is to pretend that you might like to have it but don't really need it and the price is 25% more than what you saw it for across town.

When the latest new whizz-bang handgun of the future shows up in all the magazines, give it time to see if it stays in the marketplace.

At a gun show, always shop every aisle before buying anything. I saw identical Ruger hi-cap mags two tables apart. Vendor A wanted $21. Vendor B wanted $40. Guess who got my business?

"Collector's Item" is vendor-speak for "overpriced piece of fancy-a$$ scrap metal".

Ask before you dry fire.

Never pass up a perfectly good $200 Browning Hi-Power just because it has "Paraguayan Air Force" stamped on it (actual deal seen at a gun show). Most surplus arms have had more brushes than bullets through the bore. besides, for $200 you can shoot it till it crumbles and come out ahead.

When responding to a "gun for sale" ad in the paper, DO NOT agree to bring a stack of cash into the home of an armed stranger.

In private sales, whether buying or selling, INSIST on a bill of sale signed by both parties, specifying the serial number. If you're buying, this protects you from people who will sell a gun and them report it stolen. If selling, this covers you if the gun is misused later. Both things have happened before.
 
Always bring a gun to a knife fight.

Connery was full of it.

You never know when you will be right up
against your opponent and they might grab
you, your gun, etc.
