Rules for a Gunfight

• Bring a gun.
• Preferably, bring at least two guns.
• Bring all of your friends who have guns.
• Anything worth shooting is worth shooting twice. Ammo is cheap. Life is expensive.
• Only hits count. The only thing worse than a miss is a slow miss.
• If your shooting stance is good, you're probably not moving fast enough or using cover correctly.
• Move away from your attacker. Distance is your friend. (Lateral and diagonal movement are preferred.)
• If you can choose what to bring to a gunfight, bring a long gun and a friend with a long gun.
• In ten years nobody will remember the details of caliber, stance, or tactics. They will only remember who lived.
• If you are not shooting, you should be communicating, reloading, and running.
• 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 pisses in the flintlock of your musket."
• Someday someone may kill you with your own gun, but they should have to beat you to death with it because it is empty.
• Always cheat, always win. The only unfair fight is the one you lose.
• Have a plan.
• Have a back-up plan, because the first one won't work.
• Use cover or concealment as much as possible.
• Flank your adversary when possible. Protect yours.
• Don't drop your guard.
• Always tactical load and threat scan 360 degrees.
• Watch their hands. Hands kill. (In God we trust. Everyone else, keep your hands where I can see them.)
• Decide to be aggressive ENOUGH, quickly ENOUGH.
• The faster you finish the fight, the less shot you will get.
• Be polite. Be professional. But, have a plan to kill everyone you meet.
• Be courteous to everyone. Friendly to no one.
• Your number one Option for Personal Security is a lifelong commitment to avoidance, deterrence, and de-escalation.
• Do not attend a gunfight with a handgun, the caliber of which does not start with a "4".
