i think his point is that a gun will be more effictivet tool to use in such a setting, even if it means you’re the odd one out. It’s about being different, standing out. Knocking the competition dead (pun intended).
@harry: maybe you read it wrong. usually it would be, “it’s like bringing a knife to a gun fight” which would mean yes, being unprepapred. but he’s changed the gun and knife so like sara said, it’s being over-prepared in a good way.

Terrible quote. 2nd half is about being unprepared. This once again proves that abstract quotes that sound profound usually have no basis in reality.

Being prepared with effective tools to pay attention in a busy world. Still makes no sense…

Paying attentions gives you a considerable advantage over people who don’t. Makes sense to me.

I’m so late, but this quote reminded me of my favorite scene from Indiana Jones.
