Are we talking about John S. Farnam, president of Defensive Training International? The internet has the Rules of Stupid attributed to at least 3 different spellings.

Any mispelling are my fault

And corrected, than you!

funny how the ones calling us nazi and bootlicker are the same ones who fell in line and wore masks after getting an untested vaccine… and demanded “vaccine papers”.. I am tired of liberals who gave zero brain and zero memory. FUK them.

Funny how they scream for violence, then cry when they get it.

As a Retired Safety Professional (board Certified variety), I unequivocally state that the Rules of Stupid, in one form or another, apply to ALL critical activities, not just addressing human violence. About 50% of Workplace Incidents are in that category. you violate more than 1, the outcome is never good for you.

In this instance; I will also add: Don't listen to stupid people (like Progressive Elite Democrats) who tell you it's OK to do stupid things!

\ramble\Though we have never met, Tom, I kind of feel like I know you. But I suspect that anyone encountering you for the first time, like a Leftie, a Polititard or a mouth-breathing Antifoid might take a gander at your avatar and get confused...maybe not take the good advice you are giving. That avatar. Honest. Santa Claus & grandfatherly looking. That fedora. That cammie jacket. That Boomer hair that could go Viking or Hippie. Just putting it out there, friend. I don't use a personal picture. The camera is not my friend. Though I am not vain about my looks, it adds pounds, exacerbates wrinkles, defines my somatype, race, ethnicity, shows scars, old age skin defects, absence of tattoos, my ubiquitous boonie hat & Duluth pocket T-shirt and a visage of steely determination and confusion. That's why I use a borrowed avatar from my favorite fictional character (HPF),

^ That said, I put more stock in what a person says and does than I do in what he looks like. (Though I admit a weakness in a "she"). My point is, Tom, is that your advice with that conflicted (albeit handsome) avatar is going to fall on deaf ears to the stupid, the Progressives, the SJW's, the wannabe martyrs, the moonbats and the mentally ill. And, yeah, I know, my own avatar and c.v. make me anathema to probably 51% of the world population and this rambling isn't helping much, but I am trying to burn off the ill effects of two 16 oz mugs of coffee.

Stay safe. I know you will.\ramble\

Only 2 mugs? Damn, Dale when I wrote that one, I was on #4 of Black Rifle Coffee Co. properly made to taste like coffee. Made like Old NFO's post on Coffee today (good one, by the way-reminded me of Construction Site and Maintenance Shop coffee).

At 66 yo.; I've learned to use appearance and attitude to "go gray", blend in and seem inoffensive to a lot of folks. I've had hardcore Appalachian Southerners wonder where I was born. It helps in getting along with people and avoiding trouble that may otherwise require Doom & Boom (short way of saying "Lawyers, Guns & Money") to get out of.

Also helps with intel ops; people say the darndest things when they feel comfortable.

By the way, that photo was taken on a nice fall day when I was strolling through my woods with one of my favorite .22 lr. handguns on a squirrel harassing/collecting mission.

I dunno. I kinda thought that image was captured on a game trail camera. The kind they use for perimeter security in those upscale nudist camps in the Adirondacks...you know, bare country. I thought about going to a nudist colony but heard some have those "YOU HAVE TO BE THIS TALL TO..." sort of signs and was scared of getting turned away because I didn't measure up.

Pretti ignored the rules. Good ignored the rules. Both, unfortunately, Found Out. When people who live in a phony world where you can press reset when you lose, and re-spawn, they sometimes find out that only works in electronic games. In life, bullets can be fatal.
