Stay meek gentlemen.

Se the video below.

A pastor taught me this years ago.

Numbers 12:3 | View whole chapter | See verse in context
(Now the man Moses was very meek, above all the men which were upon the face of the earth.)

Meekness is an iron fist in a velvet glove.
He taught that meekness was having power and not flaunting it.

EXACTLY. Like Gen Mattis says: "Be polite but have a plan to kill everyone you meet."

I love the way he puts the value of loosing in perspective.

America is becoming systemically wussified.

The systematic Wussification has been going on since the late 60's as I remember it.

Well as a child of the Sixties, It wasn't this bad.

Oh heck no but its roots are there. I saw it. Took a while but the mindset changed and the end result is with us right now. We may have lost the handle on this.

Walking out to my truck from a lunch meet up a while back I had 2 hipsters start in on me for OC. Totally ignorant of the fact that I am looking at 2 idiot males in skinny jeans, tatted out, nail polish, appeared to have eye makeup on and sporting man buns. I was laughing so hard at them they just went away.
Wow

Systema Russian martial arts from the Cossacks emphasizes the same. Humbleness doesn't mean fearful except when it involves the Lord.

Meekness is power under control.

Not the way I was raised and certainly not the way I’m raising my beloved parents’ grandchildren...

[2A_Tom]

But hide the stick behind your back.

Is this now going to become an OC/CC stick thread?

Man I am sorry I mentioned OC up thread...
Not my normal carry any way but I tend to agree. Stay grey.

Grey has become my favorite color. OC quietly, CC with some swagger.

Words of wisdom. I'm stealing this and using it going forward. A small royalty will be owed to you by Rhino every time I use it.

Wow

And obviously without much for brains as well, since they decided to start in on someone who is obviously carrying a firearm. There are 2 ways that goes... luckily for them it went the route of a laugh.

Meekness is power under control.

Agreed. I've always heard "Meekness is strength under control." Like a thoroughbred horse who has been broken. He's just as strong as he's ever been, but his power is now bridled.
