I am not a big gun enthusiast, but I do own a firearm and concealed carry permit. I thought this gunfight primer was terrific! I have no idea who the author is. Which one is your favorite rule?
GUNFIGHT RULES:
"Peace is that brief glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading."
In a gunfight, the most important rule is ... HAVE A GUN!
These are shooting tips from various Concealed Carry Instructors. If you own a gun, you will appreciate these rules...
If not, you should get one, learn how to use it and learn the rules.
RULES
1 Guns have only two enemies: Rust and Politicians.
2 It's always better to be judged by 12 than carried out by 6.
3 Cops carry guns to protect themselves, not you.
4 Never let someone or something that threatens you get inside arm's length.
5 Never say "I've got a gun." If you need to use deadly force, the first sound they should hear is the safety clicking off, or the hammer cocking.
6 The average response time of a 911 call is 23 minutes; the response time of a .357 is 1,400 feet per second.
7 The most important rule in a gunfight is: Always Win - there is no such thing as a fair fight. Always Win - c***t if necessary. Always Win - 2nd place doesn't count.
8 Make your attacker advance through a wall of bullets ... you may get k**led with your own gun, but they'll have to beat you to death with it because it will be empty.
9 If you're in a gun fight:
(a) If you're not shooting, you should be loading.
(b) If you're not loading, you should be moving.
(c) If you're not moving, you're dead.
10 In a life and death situation, do something ... it may be wrong, but do something!
11 If you carry a gun, people will call you paranoid. Nonsense! If you have a gun, what do you have to be paranoid about?
12 You can say "stop" or any other word, but a large bore muzzle pointed at someone's head is pretty much a universal language; and, you won't have to press 1 for Spanish/Mexican, or 2 for Chinese, or 3 for Arabic.
13 Never leave an enemy behind. If you have to shoot, shoot to k**l. In court, yours will be the only testimony.
14 You cannot save the planet, but you may be able to save yourself and your family.
Excellent points of view.

He's the great granddaddy of country music.
Needs one more, from my old DI at Ft Ord in 1966:
Unless he has buddies who need to be shot or you are low on ammo, keep shooting as long as he is moving, even if you think it is the impact of the bullets. A lot of people have been k**led by "dead men" who weren't really dead yet.

10 d) You can bring a knife to a gunfight, just make sure you also bring a gun.

However, a knife does not run out of bullets!

Your laughter you hear will be echoing back from a barrel that is pointed in your direction.

4 Never let someone or something that threatens you get inside arm's length.
I'm not a big gun advocate but sometimes I do wonder.
If you do own a gun just be safe.
