What are your gun rules?

[rausch51]

Quality over quantity

No new calibers (I already have plenty of mouths to feed)

Take care of the tools that take care of you

I don't know that I'd agree. Perhaps at one time this made sense, but now, is anywhere truly safe, as in not needing some way to defend yourself? Churches used to be safe. Grocery stores used to be safe. Homes used to be (reasonably) safe, but now even homes in "good" neighborhoods are targets for home invasions. So unless you're planning on living in a cave in the Himalayas or something, the potential for having a reason to be armed is going to be there.

It's not about being a safe place, it is about not letting the gun take you to places that you would not otherwise go as that will bring trouble. Be situationally aware and don't go down that dark alley because you have a gun... I will always have the gun. I don't go places that cause my spidey sense to go off, just because I have that gun.

In other words, don't go looking for trouble, but if it finds you be prepared.

I have one everywhere I think I could be confronted.
I have one motto. If I need to pull it. I need to use it.
Rule #2. No rule #2!

“This is my rifle
This is my gun
One is for killing
The others for fun
So until this war is over
Or until your time is done
This is your rifle and this one is your gun”

Ah, okay. That I agree with. A gun isn't a magic talisman.

Carry what you shoot best, not what you like, or think is more comfy to carry, etc.

I had carried an M&P 9C, and did some trading for a full size M&P 2.0. I was more accurate with the 2.0 from the get go. After a few hundred rounds, and completing a class with it. It is now my primary carry gun.

Big holes are better than little holes.
Many holes are better than one hole.
One little hole is still better than no hole.
