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 pisses in 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. Everyone else, keep your hands where I 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 gunfight with a handgun, the caliber of which does not start with a "4".

Remember #13 as an unlucky number? Pay attention to it as plan B will save your life. :uzi: Oh ya, dead people can't lie, cheat, or steal in court. But their lawyer can!

Rules for a Gunfight

12. Have a plan.

13. Have a back-up plan, because the first one won't work.



Good list and sage advice, but from experience:

13.1 Have a back-up back-up plan in case the first two don't work.

13.1.1 Have a back-up back-up back-up plan to get the hell out of there in case the first three don't work. Better to live to fight another day.

Practice, practise, and practise again with whatever you are going to use, and don't bring anything you do not know how to use. Do not pull a weapon unless you are going to use it. And remember, close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades.

Along Roosty's thought, a hit with a .22 beats a miss with a .44.

Cuda,
Was trying to find that photo you posted awhile back with your pistol and dog but couldn't find it. My version is attached below. You got me beat in the dog department :embarasse

I have a couple 5" government model 45's (ParaOrdnance and Springfield) and have been thinking about a 3.5" Para http://www.paraord.com/product/product.html?id=43
or a 3.75" Glock 30 http://www.glock.com/g30.htm
