Clint Smith, Director of Thunder Ranch, is part drill Instructor, and
part stand up comic. Here are a few of his observations On tactics,
firearms, self defense and life as we know it in the civilized world.
"The two most important rules in a gunfight are: Always cheat And
always win."
"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."
"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."
"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. 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.
