TFL Commandments...
Hey guys, I figure since this is basically the best forum on the net, we need to tap deeeeeeep into the expertise/real-life experience field of TFL.
So, in order to help all the prospective handgun owners out there, we should come up with our own 'Commandments'. You know something that we have actually...personally experienced that we just HAVE TO share with everyone. (please...everyone just one post) I'll start off, since I am still thinking about this one: **Thou shall test fire all defensive ammo (and keep the box) before storing it in our handguns |

Thou shalt prevent negligent discharge? But of a no-brainer, admittedly...

Thou shalt honor thy glock, thy colt, and thy enemy.
Show honor in the face of death, and death shall show you honor in return.

A lot of my personal commandments wouldn't fly here, and I'm the first to admit I do go to some extremes that probably aren't necessary or even recomendable in some situations. But here's a borderline one I believe strongly in:
"Gun proof thy children, but also keepeth thy guns secure and childproof; it is a foolish parent that thinks he controls his child every waking moment."

This probably won't fly well but here goes. Thou shalt take thy head out thy rectum when dealing with any type of weapon. Or something to that effect. Be Safe Out There. Kurt

Thou shalt keep thy weapon clean, for cleanliness is next to godliness.

Thou shall have more than one gun, if it is mechanical it can malfunction. kind of like a redundant safety or back up.

Actually, this one may be more of a dietary law than a commandment:
Thou shalt case gauge and visually inspect all ammo and avoideth the unfit rounds. |

Owning thy gun is a huge responsibility, thou shall not act in immature manners that give other gun owners a bad name. This applies 24/7, not only when thou hast thy gun on thy person.
