Rules for Gunfighting.

[rangerfather3/75]

My son passed this along and I thought you folks might find it as insightful as I do. He assures me it is the gospel. The following is exactly as it was given to me.

1. Bring a gun. Preferably, bring at least two guns. Bring all of your friends with 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 nor using cover correctly.

5. Move away from your attacker. Distance is your friend.

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.

9. Accuracy is relative: most combat shooting standards will be more dependent on "pucker factor" than the inherent accuracy of the gun.

9.5 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 on won't work.

14. Use cover or concealment as much as possible. The visible target should be in FRONT of your gun.



16. Don't drop your guard.



18. Watch their hands. Hands kill. (In God we trust. Everyone else, keep your hands where I can see them.)

19.

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 Safety is alifelong commitment to avoidance, detterence, and de-escalation.

24. Do no attend a gunfight with a handgun, the caliber of which does not start with a "4."

I deleted some of these just in case they might not be appropriate.

'Twas my personal mantra for the duration of my year in the IZ. Worked like a charm, because I'm here posting this drivil now.

bump....

Even if it is a bump from prehistoric times... It's still good.

In civilian-land, this is best kept to one's self.
