The 5 most annoying gun cliches

[nisils14]

Anytime I hear "I have a .45 cause shooting twice is silly." I just blankly stare at them.

"I would rather be missed by a .45 than hit with a .22" No Sh!t

I'd rather not be shot with anything - regardless of caliber. I absolutely hate, loathe & despise the jackasses who believe: "If you don't carry a .45, you aint shit". Many years ago I took a training class from a former NARC officer who was shot 4 times with a .45 (3 in the torso area) and lived. People need to get over that it's the "size of the caliber" that determines the win of the gunfight.

...gun's don't kill people, dad's with pretty daughters do

I liked it so much, I sent it to my daughter.

She sent this back :

"When seconds count the police are only minutes away." Enough already

Really, it takes the cops 45-90 minutes to show up to anything. In las Vegas its even longer.

Pull trigger till you see exposed brain, then reload. Anything else is stupid.

I'm going to add this statement to the list, as people with brain to expose to attack people with guns.

"I carry a gun because a cop is too heavy." <- this one while snarky is not as bad as the others. The downside to this one is it implies you are willing to take the law into your own hands.

It may not be as bad as some of the other ones in this thread, but it's still tired from being beaten to death.

I'm also tired of "another tool in the toolbox." It may not be a bad concept, but I usually hear it from people who have limited time and money to spend on filling their training toolbox, and have no experience or knowledge to recognize that a 23-piece left-handed non-sparking metric Torx screwdriver set will be either an expensive niche item, or completely useless to them.

My peers in the middle-aged-fat-guy demographic, who spend lots of money on carbine training and virtually none on gym memberships or rolling around on the floor, are particularly guilty of this.
