    "Stopping power" is better with XYZ pistol caliber.
    "XYZ" caliber knocks people down.
    "Better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6"
    "Concealed means concealed"
    "Any gun is better than no gun"

    “If you keep doing that you’ll go blind”

    Having done extensive study in that area I have come to the conclusion that this statement is false…

    Yup, and for a decade of teaching guns id still get the die hard imbecile that couldnt understand that gravity is a constant. The only constant. I would challenge their physics with "So if I cant the rifle 90 degrees, the rounds will strike left on the paper, or still go up?" and watch the confused looks. After I made them understand that you are not making sight adjustments, you are making barrel adjustments, they would usually get it. The line of sight is the same to the eye, you are adjusting whats under it up/down/left/right.

    You should read "Violence of Mind" - it's a pretty decent book with a lot of great ideas. The whole judged vs carried thing is discussed throughout.

    I grew up down river from New Orleans. People always said that if a hurricane came up the river we’d get wiped out. Turns out they were right.
