Rules for a GunFight
Saw these and liked 'em....
------------------------------------------
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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Watch their hands. Hands kill. (In God we trust. Everyone else, keep your hands where I can see them.)
- 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.
- Your number one Option for Personal Security is a lifelong commitment to avoidance, deterrence, and de-escalation.
Hope you liked 'em too.

- A gun is your best friend. A hand grenade is your other best friend.

I know this is an old thread...
I just had too add this poem:

Slap a fresh clip in your Uzi

Ah man, You guys bring a tear to my eyes. I love it.
Anyway, one of my favorites is "You can run, but you'll only die tired.""I don't lift, too heavy. I don't run, too far. I just hit people.

Why didn't you have the full list?
USMC 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. A close miss is still a 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 movements 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.
8. They will only remember who lived.
9. If you are not shooting, you should be communicating, reloading, and running.
10. Accuracy is relative: most combat shooting standards will be more dependent on "pucker factor" than the inherent accuracy of the gun.
11. Use a gun that works EVERY TIME.
12. Someday someone may kill you with your own gun, but they should have to beat you to death with it because it is empty.
13. Always cheat = always win. The only unfair fight is the one you lose.
14. Have a plan.
15. Have a backup plan, because the first one won't work.
16. Use cover and concealment as much as possible.
17. Flank your adversary when possible. Protect yours,
18. Don't drop your guard.
19. Always do a tactical reload and threat scan for 360 degrees.
20. Watch their hands. Hands kill. (In God we trust. Everyone else, keep your hands where I can see them.)
21. Decide to be AGGRESSIVE enough, QUICKLY enough.
22. The faster you finish the fight, the less shot up you will get.
23. Be polite. Be professional. But, have a plan to kill everyone you meet.
