You can shoot a gun and you can "RUN" a gun.

     I run across folks who say they "shoot" their gun all the time. And then there are folks who I associate with who actually "RUN" their gun. Now I may tick some folks off with this one. However, this is my opinion from my experiences over the years. Wanna know the difference?

     People who shoot their guns, like their mouths, have kind of a off handed training scar approach to using firearms. You seen them every time you go shooting. They show up to the range, load their firearms any way they want to with no sense of purpose, organization or wanting to be deliberate, have some adherence to safety rules (maybe), and plink at cans or paper bulls eyes with no sense of purpose. And there is no problem with that. If that is all you want to do. That's fine. I will not fault anyone for it. However, it kinda makes makes them think they are able to shoot straight when things turn bad. And most of the time they only have a 17% or less hit rate.

     People who "RUN" their guns do it pretty much with one purpose in mind. To quote a firearms instructor from my past: "To use physics to bend another person to their will." What do I mean by that? I mean that you use Metal alloy projectiles to make them stop doing whatever it is that they are doing.

When I travel throught the Valley of the Shadow of Death

     Traveling armed in your day to day activities needs to be a lifestyle choice. You have to decide to take responsibility for your own safety. You can easily be a liability to yourself and the public at large if you do not take it seriously.
