Glad to see I'm not the only person who thinks this way.
I thought "molon labe" meant "kiss my @$$".....
Having had pistolcraft instruction from Colonel Cooper, this quote rings very true. More new gunowners need to take this to heart. The presence of a gun may often prevent an attack from taking place, but the gun "user" better project some confidence or he/she could quickly become a victim anyway. Predators are good at reading fear and hesitation in the eyes of their intended victim.

Burroughs is an odd choice to quote on guns. In a drunken stupor he shot his wife in the head, killing her, while playing 'william tell.'
Heinlein has so many brilliant quotes that I simply don't know where to begin :)
TANSTAAFL!
GUN CONTROL...it's not about guns...it's about CONTROL.
