> Clint Smith, Director of Thunder Ranch, is part Drill Instructor,

>
> "The handgun would not be my choice of weapon if I knew I was going
> to a fight
>
> .... I'd choose a rifle, a shotgun, an RPG or an atomic
> bomb instead."
>
> "The two most important rules in a gunfight are: Always cheat
> and Always win."
>
> "Every time I teach a class, I discover I don't know something."
>
> "Don't forget, incoming fire has the right of way."
>
> "Make your attacker advance through a wall of bullets. I may
> get killed with my own gun, but he's gonna have to beat me to death
> with it, cause it's going to be empty."
>
> "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."
>
> "Nothing adds a little class to a sniper course like a babe in
> a Ghilliesuit.."
>
> "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 I have a gun, what in the hell do I have to be paranoid
> about."
>
> "Don't shoot fast, shoot good."
>
> "You can say 'stop' or 'alto' or use any other word you
> think will work but I've found that a large bore muzzle pointed at
> someone's head is pretty much the universal language."
>
> "You have the rest of your life to solve your problems. How
> long you live depends on how well you do it."
>
> "You cannot save the planet. You may be able to save
> yourself and your family."
>
> "Thunder Ranch will be here as long as you'll have us or
> until someone makes us go away and either way it will be exciting."
>
> More Excellent Gun Wisdom.......The only purpose of
> fighting is to Win!
>
> There is no possible victory in defense.
> The sword is more important than the shield, and skill
> is more important than either.
>
> The final weapon is the brain. All else is supplemental.
>
> 1. Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to
> fight, He'll just kill you.
>
> 2. If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck.
>
> 3 I carry a gun cause a cop is too heavy.
>
>
> 4. When seconds count, the cops are just minutes away.
>
> 5. A reporter did a human-interest piece on the Texas
> Rangers. The reporter recognized the Colt Model 1911 the Ranger was
> carrying and asked him 'Why do you carry a 45?' The Ranger, Zeno Smith,
> responded, 'Because they don't make a 46.'
>
> 6. An armed man will kill an unarmed man with monotonous
> regularity.
>
> 7. The old sheriff was attending an awards dinner when a
> lady commented on his wearing his sidearm. 'Sheriff, I see you have
> your pistol. Are you expecting trouble?' 'No ma'am. If I were
> expecting trouble, I would have brought my rifle.'
>
> 8. Beware the man who only has one gun. He probably knows
> how to use it!
