Under Any Sort Of Attack, Keep Cool.

One Correspondent, Who Is Into Psychology, Notes That In His Experience People Who Are Hoplophobes Are Nearly Always Nutty In Other Ways, Too. Hoplophobia [fear Of Guns], Of Course, Is Not Simply An Attitude But Rather An Aberration In Which The Sufferer Clings To An Idea Which He Himself Knows To Be Unsound, Such As The Idea That Inanimate Instruments Have A Will Of Their Own Or That Lawbreakers Abide By The Law.

'heroism' Is Not The Same As Coping. A Man Who Does His Job Properly And Succeeds Through His Own Efforts Is Definitely To Be Commended, But He Is Not A Hero In The Classic Sense Until He Deliberately Lays His Life On The Line For A Cause He Deems To Be Greater Than Himself.

Beware The Man With One Gun. He Can Probably Use It.

Blessed Are Those Who, In The Face Of Death, Think Only About The Front Sight.

The Best Personal Defense Is An Explosive Counterattack.
