There are many like it but this one is mine. My rifle is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. Without me, my rifle is useless. Without my rifle I am useless. I must fire my rifle true. I must shoot straighter than my enemy, who is trying to kill me. I must shoot him before he shoots me. I will. Before God I swear this creed: my rifle and myself are defenders of my country, we are the masters of our enemy, we are the saviors of my life. So be it, until there is no enemy, but peace. Amen.

I recall a cenTex caver who was coming out of a cave when the landowner started shooting at a rattlesnake sitting on a ledge in the same sinkhole. They guy was blasting away at it with a 30/30 from a yard away, apparently oblivious to the ricochets. Some folks behave responsibly when they play with guns, many do not. Gun play is the polar opposite of the type of attention and consideration of cause and effect often required in caving. If you showed up for a caving trip with a gun, I would consider you a reckless dumbass. Andy Andrew G.
