GUNFIGHT RULES

1. The most important rule is ..... HAVE A GUN.

2. Guns have only two enemies: rust and politicians.

3. It's always better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6.

4. Police carry guns to protect themselves, not you.

5. Never let someone or something that threatens you get inside arms length

6. Never say "I've got a gun." If you need to use deadly force, the first sound they hear should be the safety clicking off. You can say 'stop' or any other word, but a large bore muzzle pointed at someoneis pretty much a universal language; and, you won't have to press 1 for Spanish/Mexican or 2 for Chinese or 3 for Arabic.

7. The average response time of a 911 call is 23 minutes; the response time of a 45acp is 900 feet per second.

8. Always win - There is no such thing as a fair fight, cheat if necessary.

9. Make your attacker advance through a wall of bullets ..... You may get killed with your own gun, but he'll have to beat you to death with it, because it will be empty .

10. If you're in a gun fight:
1. If you're not shooting, you should be loading.
2. If you're not loading, you should be moving.
3. If you're not moving, you're dead.

11. If you carry a gun, & people call you paranoid; nonsense, if you have a gun what do you have to be paranoid about?

12. If you have to shoot, shoot twice at the thorax, & shoot only to stop.
You cannot save the planet, but you may be able to save yourself and your family.

FIREARM SAFTY RULES

1. All Guns are always loaded.

2. Never let the muzzle cover anything you are not willing to destroy.

3. Keep your finger off the trigger until the sights are on the target.

4. Be sure of your target & what's beyond.

Follow these rules & you will never have a negligent discharge.

Fired expert with all of them. Grew up with a .22 to shoot rabbits (Western Kansas), and a .30-30 Winchester Saddle Carbine to shoot coyotes. Got $25.00 per coyote scalp. Paid some of my schooling.

I am a gun owner and a gun advocate and I agree with you 100%. EVERY gun owner I know (and I know a lot of them) agree that gun safety is rule #1. Guns are only as dangerous as the one handling it.

Unfortunately, people don't follow the rules, nor do they think, they shoot first.

A good friend of mine stopped a break in at his home and had the jerk on the floor waiting for the cops to arrive. When they came in he had the guy belly down spread eagle with the 45 stuck in his rear. The first cop asked (holding back laughter) why he did this. He informed the cop he was just practicing proper gun safety. He figured that he didn't have to worry about what was beyond his target;there was no mistaking his target;and due to his age and eyesight he was pretty sure he would not miss if needed. The cops were still laughing when they hauled his ass to the pokey. My friend went back to bed;with a big smile on his face. I asked why he didn't shoot the jerk. "Do you want to clean that mess up,cause I sure don't"
