    Default 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.

    “In a time of universal deceit – telling the truth is a revolutionary act.” - George Orwell

    "A man with a gun is a citizen. A man without a gun is a subject."

    "A government big enough to give you everything you want is a government big enough to take from you everything you have." Gerald Ford in a Presidential address to a joint session of Congress (12 August 1974)

    “It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather, we should thank God that such men lived.” Gen. George S. Patton Jr.

    Default I know this is an old thread...

    I just had too add this poem:

    If you're feeling low and woozy
    Slap a fresh clip in your Uzi
    Assume the propper firing stance
    Make the suckers jump and dance

    There is a reason that conservatives are known as "The Right".

    We, the People are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts - not to overthrow the Constitution, but to overthrow men who pervert the Constitution. - Abraham Lincoln

    The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government.

    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.

    24. Be courteous to everyone, friendly to no one.

    25. Do not attend a gunfight with a handgun, the caliber of which does not start with a "4".
