Bullet Religion
“If you’re not packing a .45, you’re not even armed.”
“Forty ‘short-and-week’ is a worthless cartridge,”
“Why would anybody carry a little 9mm?”
Any of these sound familiar?
Well, perhaps there is a small grain of truth in some of these statements, depending on the context in which they are uttered; however, it’s been my experience over the years that too many gun owners take way too much pride in their chosen “bullet religion.” I say “religion” because occasionally we all run into those devout, evangelical members of the “Church of 45.” No amount of scientific evidence will dissuade them from their faith and fervor; common sense and reason are just not a part of their universe. They latch onto their favorite notion and “preach the gospel” at every opportunity. The more they preach, the better they feel about the big .45 they carry.
