Rules of a gunfight

I'm sure I copied this from somewhere else, but I no longer remember where.

Ten rules of a gunfight (with obvious applications to the rest of life too)

1. Bring a gun.  Preferably, bring at least two guns.  Bring all of your friends who have guns. If you can choose what to bring to a gunfight, bring a rifle and a friend with a rifle.

2. Have a plan. Have a back-up plan because the first one won't work.

3. The faster you finish the fight, the less shot you will get.

4. Anything worth shooting is worth shooting twice.  Ammo is cheap.  Life is expensive.

5. Only hits count.  The only thing worse than a miss is a slow miss.

6. If you are not shooting, you should be reloading, and running. If your shooting stance is good, you're probably not moving fast enough or using cover correctly.

7. Someday someone may kill you with your own gun, but they should have to beat you to death with it because it is empty.

8. In ten years nobody will remember the details of caliber, stance, or tactics. They will only remember who lived. Always cheat, always win. The only unfair fight is the one you lose.

9. Threat scan 360 degrees; don't forget to look behind you. Watch their hands.  Hands kill.  (In God we trust.  Everyone else, keep your hands where I can see them.)

10. Decide to be aggressive ENOUGH, quickly ENOUGH. Be courteous to everyone, friendly to no one. Be polite; be professional, but have a plan to kill everyone you meet.
