> Rules for a Gunfight
>
> 1. Bring a gun. Preferably, bring at least two guns. Bring all of your friends who have guns.
>
> 2. Anything worth shooting is worth shooting twice. Ammo is cheap -- life > is expensive.
>
> 3. Only hits count. The only thing worse than a miss is a slow miss.
>
> 4. If your shooting stance is good, you're probably not moving fast enough or using cover correctly.
>
> 5. Move away from your attacker. Distance is your friend (Lateral and diagonal movement are preferred).
>
> 6. If you can choose what to bring to a gunfight, bring a long gun and a friend with a long gun.
>
> 7. In ten years nobody will remember the details of caliber, stance, or tactics. They will only remember who lived.
>
> 8. If you are not shooting, you should be communicating, reloading, and running.
>
> 9. Accuracy is relative: most combat shooting standards will be more dependent on "pucker factor" than the inherent accuracy of the gun. Use a gun that works EVERY TIME. "All skill is in vain when an Angel blows the powder from the flintlock of your musket."
>
> 10. Someday someone may kill you with your own gun, but they should have to beat you to death with it because it is empty.
>
> 11. Always cheat, always win. The only unfair fight is the one you lose.
>
> 12. Have a plan.
>
> 13. Have a back-up plan, because the first one won't work.
>
> 14. Use cover or concealment as much as possible.
>
> 15. Flank your adversary when possible. Protect yours.
>
> 16. Don't drop your guard.
>
> 17. Always tactical load and threat scan 360 degrees.
>
> 18. Watch their hands. Hands kill. "In God we trust. Every one else, keep your hands whereI can see them."
>
> 19. Decide to be aggressive ENOUGH, quickly ENOUGH.
>
> 20. The faster you finish the fight, the less shot you will get.
>
> 21. Be polite. Be professional. But, have a plan to kill everyone you meet.
>
> 22. Be courteous to everyone, friendly to no one.
>
> 23. Your number one Option for Personal Security is a lifelong commitment to avoidance, deterrence, and de-escalation.
>
> 24. Do not attend a gun fight with a handgun, the caliber of which does not start with anything smaller than "4."
>
>
> Patriotism is not a short and frenzied outburst of emotion but the tranquil and steady dedication of a lifetime.
