Guns
Shooting advice
Clint Smith, Director of Thunder Ranch, is part drill instructor, and part stand up comic (Thunder Ranch is a firearms training facility in Oregon {was in Texas before}
Here are a few of his observation on tactics, firearms, self defense and life as we know it in the civilized world.
"The most important rule in a gunfight is: Always win and cheat if necessary."
"Don't forget, incoming fire has the right of way.."
"Make your attacker advance through a wall of bullets. You may get killed with your own gun, but he'll have to beat you 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."
"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 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 but 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 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 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 of the man who only has one gun, because he probably knows how to use it very well..
'The true soldier fights not because he hates what is in front of him, but because he loves what is behind him.' G.. K. Chesterton
A people that values its privileges above its principles will soon lose both.
"Those who hammer their guns into plows will plow for those who do not.." - Thomas Jefferson
"The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money." - Margaret Thatcher

Fishing Report 01-16-09
Location--Unamed Pond St Lucie
Temp---76
Wind--- SW 15-20
Water Temp---64
Clarity ---2ft
Stained
Ok, After dealing with the freezing temps from the week prior (this was the reason I left the north east) I was itching to hit the water. I headed out to the local hole and found that the water is now completely stained due to construction. Because of this I changed my strategy. I opted to go with a texas rigged swim senko in a pumpkin color. I had issues fishing where I thought the fish would be because of the wind. But I was able to find a few calm spots away from the wind. I was pitching the bait in and along the weeds and catails. I would let it drop and twitch pause retreive it back to the boat. Although the fishing was a little slow I did put 5 in the boat. I forgot to bring my camera so I took a picture of one of the average fish with my phone. The biggest one of the day was a little over 5 pounds with averags fish coming in at about 2-3 pounds.....Not bad for January...
