Quote or Quip III for Wednesday, March 12, 2014: “The old saying goes that an armed society is a polite society. The underlying message there is that a person is much less likely to take this cowardly man’s approach if he know someone might actually shoot back.” ~ Christopher Dixon, in the Springfield, Missouri, News-Leader, Friday, December 21, 2012, in the “A Local Voice” column. The most famous version of that saying is probably the Robert A. Heinlein version, as follows: “An armed society is a polite society. Manners are good when one may have to back up his acts with his life.” ~ Robert A. Heinlein, in Beyond This Horizon, published in 1942
