Nothing earthshattering, but saw a new gun, law & order phrase

[QuietDan]

Nothing earthshattering, but read a new gun, law & order phrase:

 

"Sometimes there's justice....and sometimes there's just us!"

 

I think this one's better than "I carry a gun because a cop is too heavy," and "when seconds count, the police are only minutes away," you know, the old standards.

 

It was a posted comment after a story where a homeowner came home late and discovered three burglars in his house, exchanged gunfire with them and the police find a dead man with a gunshot wound on the next door neighbor's lawn.

 

 

Who else has heard a really good phrase that really spells out handgun self defense?

That phrase is catchy, but it makes it sound like "justice" and "just us" don't go together. I prefer "Sometimes, for justice there's just us". Unfortunately, to some that may sound too vigilante.

 

The phrase "when seconds count, the police are only minutes away" makes me think about the old saying "God helps those that help themselves".

Paraphrasing someone on TGO when being questioned about carrying a gun...

 

"You mean you don't? I hope your luck holds out."

 

sorry, but I can't recall who said it and what the exact line was. I just remember the story being in a convenience store while getting a cup of coffee.

I think caster said this to some guy in his shop who's son noticed caster was carrying.

Edit: here's the story I was thinking of, don't know if its the same as you were thinking.
